Great topic, good one Erik.
Of the dead guys, I'd say Julius Futterman, Harvey Rosenberg, Roger Modjeski, Robert Fulton, J. Gordon Holt, Bill Johnson, Doug Sax, Jerry Wexler (Atlantic Records producer).
Of the living: Max Townshend, Ralph Karsten, Bruce Thigpen, Roger Sanders, Danny Richie, Keith Herron, Nelson Pass, Dave Edmunds & Buddy Miller (singers/guitarists/producers). But most of all Iris Dement, an Angel sent down from Heaven. On the road now.
