Graham John Clifton Bond (28 October, 1937 in Romford, East London, England – 8 May, 1974 at Finsbury Park station, Finsbury Park, North London, England) was an English musician, considered a founding father of the English rhythm and blues boom of the 1960s. Along with John Mayall and Alexis Korner, Bond was one of the great catalytic figures of '60s rock in Britain. Technologically and musically, Bond was an innovator, perhaps the first British musician to use the Hammond organ and Leslie speaker combination (in an R&B context), the first to "split" the instrument for portability, the first to build an electronic keyboard, and the first rock musician to use a mellotron, which can be heard on his first two LPs.

  • Graham Bond (* 28. Oktober 1937 in Romford, † 8. Mai 1974 in London) war ein englischer Jazz- und Blues-Musiker, der angeblich sein eigenes Geburtsdatum nicht kannte und sich als unehelicher Sohn des angeblichen Satanisten Aleister Crowley ausgab. Er spielte Saxophon und Keyboard. 1963 gründete er in London die Graham Bond Organization. 1966 wurde er straffällig und löste die Band auf. Er starb im Alter von 36 Jahren, als er in London in der U-Bahnstation Finsbury Park von einem hereinfahrenden Zug überfahren wurde. Bond konnte nur anhand seiner Fingerabdrücke identifiziert werden. Kurz vor seinem Tod hatte er sich bei der Presse gemeldet und mitgeteilt, dass es ihm gut gehe und er neue musikalische Pläne verwirklichen wolle. (de)
