One of the enduring institutions of UK hard rock, singer/bassist Jimmy Bain passed away doing what he loved: performing for enthusiastic audiences. Associated with some of the most well-known bands of the 1970s and '80s, Bain worked with Rainbow, Dio (co-writing some of the ensemble's most well-known songs), and Scorpions, as well as a number of other music legends such as Phil Lynott, Gary Moore, Vinny Appice, and John Cale. He was also the founder of Hear n'Aid, a charity formed to raise funds for famine relief.
Trevor crossed paths with Bain in his London-era career when he co-produced the debut for Wild Horses, The First Album, released in 1980.
Here, from a bootleg audience recording, is Trevor guesting with the band in London, 1979.
