	Cyril Davies - Biography - AOL Music
		The Cyril Davies R&B All-Stars were, after the Rolling Stones, the best British blues band of the early '60s -- and if they'd gotten to stay together a little longer under Davies, they might even have given Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, and company a real run for their money.
		But Davies collapsed late in 1963, and was diagnosed as suffering from acute leukemia; he died in January of 1964.
		Davies' vocals, though hardly overly impressive, had a character to them that made the group's records competitive during the early blues boom of 1962-1963, and his harp playing was second to no one in England, a powerful, alternately mournful or exultant sound.

	Cyril Davies...British Blues Architect
		Cyril was a laconic (or loquacious when drinking, which was heavily and often) burly, working-class panel-beater who made a living taking the dents out of wrecked automobiles; he had a devotion close to total identification with Leadbelly.
		Cyril was the first man to emulate the sound of the Chicago Blues Band in England, and with his harmonica electrified in the style of Little Walter, he set a standard which helped many groups such as the Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
		This web site is building a history of the life and times of Cyril Davies with the memories of people who played with him (Musicians' recollections), and others who remember seeing and hearing Cyril as they were growing up through these years.

		Those first years are but a kaleidoscope of vague memories for young Cyril, a series of half remembered incidents that are woven into the fabric of life, incidents that help mould a pliable mind and personality into the individual that slowly emerges into manhood.
		Cyril and two friends, with nearly an hour to spare before Sunday School was due to start at 3 o’clock, decided to make a profitable investment with the collection money.
		Mary, Cyril’s new girlfriend of just a week, was enjoying the scenery around her and the by-play in the nearby boats.

	British blues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		British-born Davies was a vocalist and harmona player who was an integral part of Korner's Blues Incorporated band, along with Charlie Watts, in 1962.
		Cyril had been to Chicago and sat in with Muddy (Waters) at Smitty's Corner and was therefore a very big deal.
		In the '50s he joined Chris Barber, and along with other figures such as Cyril Davies pioneered a blues movement in England in the late '50s and early '60s that mixed blues (Muddy Waters, Broonzy) with influences such as traditional jazz, folk-blues and skiffle.
