Paul Carrack was a member of Squeeze. He replaced Jools Holland when the latter left the band.

You Oughta Know by Alanis Morsette features Dave Navarro and Flea. They had only the vocals recorded, and Navarro and Flea basically just jammed over the vocals, and found a groove that that they all liked, and that's the music.
I have heard that song so many times in my life, but I never truly listened to it until someone told me that a few months ago and I put it on. Its sick. Kind of blew my mind.

Jimi Hendrix performed Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band live before the Beatles did. And he did it in front of Paul, George and Brian Epstein. The album was released about a week before and he taught himself to play the title track by ear just for the occasion.

Supposedly Steven Tyler wrote “Dude Looks Like a Lady” after meeting Vince Neil and mistaking him for a woman.

I heard it was released on Friday and he played it Sunday night. Think Paul said that.
He also said how they always went to see him when they could and he called out one night "Is Eric here?" Clapton went to the stage and had to tune his guitar because he was so stoned on LSD, I think.

I heard some version of that story with that timeline as well. The problem is the timing. The album was scheduled to be released in the UK on June 1st and the U.S. on June 2nd. However, it was rush-released in the UK on Friday May 26th, 1967, an entire week ahead of the original scheduled release.
The last show the JHE played before leaving London for the U.S. was on Sunday, June 4th (at the Saville, IIRC) and I think it was at that show. Obviously, that was 2 days after the U.S. release, but they weren't in the U.S. Perhaps Jimi and the band didn't get a copy until June 1st or June 2nd, despite the earlier actual release in the UK.

Mick Jagger wrote the lyrics to Wild Horses in about 40 minutes at Fame Studio in Muscle Shoals, AL. That is also where Brown Sugar was recorded.
Eric Clapton helped convince the Beatles that they should record While My Guitar Gently Weeps - written by George.

Regarding Bob Seger, apparently Glenn Frey was playing guitar and background vocals on Rambling Gambling Man and he was a little excited on the opening chorus. You can hear that is louder than any following ones. I read Seger looked at him and he calmed a bit. Once you hear it, you can't forget it.
He and Henley were in Linda Rondstat's band before deciding to start their own.

About Badge:
quote:
According to George’s 1980 memoir, I Me Mine, Clapton had the song’s melody before George started writing the lyrics.
“We were working across from each other and I was writing the lyrics down and we came to the middle part so I wrote ‘bridge,'” George continued to tell Crawdaddy. “Eric read it upside down and cracked up laughing. ‘What’s ‘badge’?’ he said.”
quote:
While George wrote the lyrics for “Badge,” his fellow Beatle stumbled into the recording studio drunk. George told Crawdaddy that Ringo drunkenly gave the lyric, “I told you ’bout the swans, that they live in the park.”

They were actually recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, not FAME.

Clapton also played the lead guitar solo on that song.

Stevie Ray Vaughan played lead guitar on David Bowie's "Let's Dance" before he was well known by the general public.

American Soul Train
Countless soul singers have had a go at the enduring American standard Tennessee Waltz without really nailing it, but this version takes it further than most. After a flourish from the big horn section, the heavily echoed voice of Little Alfred takes centre stage. And what a fine job he does, swooping and swaying around the melody, with some “my my my” phrases very reminiscent of the Big O. At first the pace is so slow the song hardly moves at all, but then after a verse or two it really picks up. A trick probably lifted from “Try A Little Tenderness”.
The name of the group hides the identity of the Boogie Kings, the best big R & B/Rock 'n' Roll band in Louisianawho were on a tour in the West Coast when this track was cut. Little Alfred is in fact the vocalist who made his name with another superb Pelican State aggregation, swamp pop maestros Cookie & the Cupcakes.
The American Soul Train are credited with providing the horn section on the track LINK ] Good Time Boy from Buffalo Springfield’s second album Buffalo Springfield Again. Drummer Dewey Martin was unquestionably lead vocalist but reports differ whether he or studio musicians played the drum line.

Some folks still don't know that it's Sting singing vocals on Dire Straits' Money for Nothing. "I want my MTV..."
