Earl Klugh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Earl Klugh (born September 16, 1954 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American smooth jazz/jazz fusion guitarist. Klugh normally finger picks a nylon and bronze strung guitar.
At the age of 13 Klugh was captivated by the guitar playing of Chet Atkins on the Perry Como Show. Klugh has since been a guest on several Atkins albums. Atkins reciprocated and joined Klugh on his Magic In Your Eyes album.
For their album One on One, Klugh and Bob James received a Grammy award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance of 1981.
