  Chris Spedding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher John Spedding (born June 17, 1944) is an English rock and roll and jazz guitarist best known for his session work.
He was born in Staveley, Derbyshire, and raised by adoptive parents in Sheffield and Birmingham.
In 1975 Spedding had a Top-20 solo hit in the UK with "Motor Biking", but subsequently became better known as a session guitarist, appearing and recording with Bryan Ferry, Roxy Music, Elton John, Brian Eno, Jack Bruce, Nick Mason and Katie Melua, amongst others.

 Chris Spedding - Biography - AOL Music
Spedding was invited to play on Jack Bruce's 1969 effort, Songs for a Tailor, and subsequently released three solo albums spotlighting his instrumental prowess (1970's Japan-only Songs Without Words, 1971's Backward Progression, and 1972's The Only Lick I Know).
Spedding attempted several other gambits for success; he played with bubblegum group the Wombles in full costume, and in 1975, he recorded the single "Motor-Biking," complete with a matching, contrived leather-wearing bad-boy image, and the single made the U.K. Top 20.
Spedding attempted unsuccessfully to capitalize on this new credibility with 1978's Guitar Graffiti; he then moved to New York and joined the Necessaries as a guitarist and songwriter.

 Chris Spedding
In the 70s, however, Chris Spedding was the exception: he may have been a hired gun, but he was cool, mostly because he always seemed so damn perverse in his career decisions.
Sharks were a critical success but never caught the public interest, and Spedding drifted off into session-work, where he covered every base going.
Spedding had no truck with the snobbery of the rock elite - as far as he was concerned, the single not the album was the most vital medium for rock and roll, and having a hit was a cause for celebration not embarrassment.

Chris Spedding comincio` suonare nell'era del "beat", ma fu piu` che altro un sessionman di lusso per veterani della scena che stava morendo.
Purtroppo il resto dell'album Chris Spedding (Rak, 1976) e` pop di terza mano, il successivo Hurt (Rak, 1977) indulge in un hard-rock non molto originale (Get Outa My Pagoda, Hurt By Love) e Guitar Graffiti (Rak, 1978) ha soltanto la frizzante Frontal Lobotomy.
