Post Jet Harris, The Shadows bassist, dies aged 71

Jet Harris, the original bass player with The Shadows, has died of cancer aged 71.

The guitarist, who played on number one hits including Apache, died at his partner's home in Winchester, his agent Peter Stockton said.

Sir Cliff Richard paid tribute to his former bandmate, saying: "Jet was exactly what The Shadows and I needed - a backbone holding our sound together."

One of the great early rock 'n' rollers. Even the Beatles were fans, and one of their first recordings was an instrumental, whose name now seems particularly appropriate: 'Cry For A Shadow'.

Just got my first jet harris and tony meehan cd a few weeks ago after all these years, a unique sound that carries well even today. The wonderful bass lead and exp drumming made for an unforgettable duo.
