“I liked Alvin. He was a powerful drummer. He had plenty of ego which, when pushed in the right direction, made for good showbiz.”

- Eric Burdon (The Animals, WAR, The Eric Burdon Band)

" I'd like to pay tribute to an unsung hero in the music industry. A man who's had a tremendous influence on me, both as a producer and bandmate, but as a friend. This man is Alvin Taylor, legendary drummer for George Harrison, Elton John, Little Richard, Cher, Eric Burdon, Stevie Wonder, and more, featured on hundreds of albums. The world needs more Alvin Taylors to motivate and inspire. Alvin is my hero."

- Ukulele Ray

"Alvin Taylor is an institution. From his incredible early beginnings playing with Little Richard fresh out of childhood, his musical experience growth reads like a musical history book on both sides of the Atlantic. The real treasure with Alvin is knowing him, and the light that emanates out of him as a person, and out of his beautiful eyes is something to behold. He just lights up any room he walks into and that sort of energy can't be created... It just is."

- Todd Sucherman (Styx, Spinal Tap, Tommy Shaw)

“Alvin Taylor created rock n’ roll. Alvin Taylor IS rock n’ Roll”

-Franklin Vanderbilt (Lenny Kravitz, Robby Krieger)

"I always thought Alvin was a very warm and friendly guy. Right from the start in the Eric Burdon Band when we met and played together, we seemed to click. His drumming was so on point, strong and aggressive, yet flowing and musical. We always got along personally and shared some great times on the road. Memories that I will hold forever, (and some better left untold). Needless to say, Alvin is and will always be my brother from another mother, and I'm so privileged to have been a part of his life story. Congratulations on the release of this book! Love you buddy!"

- Randy Rice (Eric Burdon Band

“Alvin Taylor is an amazing human being, drummer, and friend. I feel grateful to have experienced Alvin’s amazing talent firsthand, working with him for the past several years. In my opinion Alvin could be the best groove drummer alive, and many other known drummers have mentioned this also, so he is well respected among the best of the best!”

-Rick Plester (Studio legend, solo artist)
