Bob Dylan finishes recording “Like A Rolling Stone” at Columbia Studios in New York City. A young session musician named Al Kooper played the now iconic organ riff for which the track is known for. At 6:13 long, the record company was hesitant to release the single, and disc jockey’s shied away from playing it, but somehow the record ended up reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 in the UK. Kooper would go on to found Blood, Sweat And Tears, and the guitarist on the track, Mike Bloomfield would later form The Electric Flag.
I’m going to see him for the first time this weekend!
Nice!! You’ll have to let us know how it was. Idk if they allow recordings but if so, feel free to post!
