By early 1960, the pair were living together and Sutcliffe joined Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison 's band in May.

Phil Manzanera shares his life's sounds, from a Cuban Revolution childhood to Roxy Music - 48 hills

Revolución to Roxy begins long before glam, synthesizers, or LP covers became cultural landmarks. Manzanera's earliest memories are shaped by upheaval: childhood in Cuba during the revolution, displacement, and an upbringing that crossed Venezuela, Colombia, England, and beyond. That instability, he says, produced something lasting-understanding. "If you grow up speaking two languages, you are scientifically proven to be more compassionate," Manzanera says. "You have this kind of duality, and one of those is the power to be empathetic. For a musician, that is such a helpful tool."

Surely one of the most-traveled musicians of the past half-century, Weir helped create not only a personal style but a broader school of playing.
