![]() “The Supernatural” by John Mayall and the Bluebreakersĭuring the Summer of Love, Green found himself in the unenviable position of replacing Eric Clapton in the Bluesbreakers. For a crash-course on what made Green great, here are 10 of his essential tracks - with and without the Mac.

Green died “peacefully in his sleep” on July 25 as announced by his legal team and reported by The New York Times.

Green eventually righted the ship, releasing solo records, playing in his Splinter Group, and living quietly out of the public eye.
