Duane Allman, better known as “Skydog,” was born in 1946 on the 20th of November in Nashville, Tennessee. Even though he died long before his time, he left behind an impressive impact on the music industry that he will be remembered by for generations to come. Robert Randolph once commented on his death by saying that, “Duane died young, and it’s just one of those things. You could tell he was going to get 50 times better.”

Duane played guitar in a unique way that had never been seen, or heard, before. His tragic death in a motorbike accident deprived us all of what he truly had to offer as a musician. However, he left behind timeless hits, such as “Blue Sky,” “Statesboro Blues,” and “Whipping Post.”
#9 Carlos Santana
Carlos Santana was born in 1947 on the 20th of July in Mexico. He moved to San Francisco when he was young and when “Summer of Love” was released, he had already established quite a name for himself as a legendary guitarist in the area. However, he played at Woodstock as one of the less known artists, which earned him national recognition.

Santana became an inspiration to several iconic legends, including Prince, as previously mentioned. Some of his most incredible hits include “Black Magic Woman,” “Soul Sacrifice,” and “Oye Como Va.” Santana claims to be a product of his surroundings, believing that the hallucinogenic drug LSD is what helped him find his voice.
