Bluesology

British R&B Group Featuring Elton John

Bluesology was an English R&B music group formed in 1962, best remembered as being the first professional band of which Reginald Dwight – later known as Elton John – was a member. Though more a touring band than recording artists, Bluesology dissolved sometime in late 1968, having served primarily in the role of backing band to John Baldry in their final year.
