This article claims that Pride And Joy was written for this girlfriend and not his wife. The article on Pride And Joy says his wife believed the song was written about this girlfriend but in fact was written for this wife. So there is a conflict here. Unfortunately neither article sites a source. Perhaps we should change the section to say that its unclear who the song was written for until we get a source.--66.60.137.134 (talk) 21:09, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Setting The Record Straight
I don't know who wrote the Wikipedia page about Stevie Ray Vaughn,but there are some glaring omissions that have to be corrected. There are two people not mentioned in Stevie's biography who were instrumental in the discovery, development, and success of Stevie Ray Vaughn's career; Frances Carr and Chesley Millikin. To not mention them is comparable to not mentioning that Brian Epstein played a role in The Beatles success. Chesley Millikin was Stevie Ray's manager and directly responsible for his rise to stardom. Frances Carr, Chesley's partner at Classic Management provided the financial backing to launch Stevie's career. It was Chesley Millikin who was able to book Stevie at Montreux when he didn't have a record contract. It was Chesley Millikin who was responsible for Stevie connecting with Jackson Browne, John Hammond, David Bowie, the Rolling Stones,and many other music professionals. It was Chesley Millikin who got Stevie his first record contract and convinced John Hammond to produce it. Without Chesley Millikin's management and Frances Carr's financial backing, quite simply, Stevie Ray Vaughn would have probably never made it out of Austin. Anyone interested in the real story should read the following link:

If true, does anyone know which songs Stevie Ray Vaughan played with Jackson Browne?
It's true that Jackson Browne saw him at Montreux and immediately loved his music so much that he offered to support him financially for work that eventually became the Texas Flood album. As far as I know, Jackson Browne never played with Stevie Ray Vaughan, at least from the standpoint of appearing together on any officially-released songs.
The paragraph on SRV's lack of ability to read music ("Perhaps the most amazing thing about Stevie Ray Vaughan is that he never learned to read music.") violated the peacock terms rule. There is also no supporting evidence for the assertion that SRV could not read music. --TheJeffMiller 15:27, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
In the remastered version of Texas Flood, on the SRV Speaks track Stevie Ray Vaughan himself says "since I can't read music and everything...", which is some supporting evidence that could be added in. -Guest, Oct 7
I hate to be the one to throw this but from what I understand in researching this and from remembering the immediate reports and stories after his terrible untimely death, I believe the whole Clapton gave up his seat thing is more nonsense and urban legend than reality.
Why is it ironic that Clapton gave up his seat on the helicopter that crashed causing his death?
Good point, I don't see any irony in this fact either. It is interesting though, much like Waylon Jenning giving up his seat to Ritchie Valens in a coin toss. Maybe "incedently" would be a better choice of words207.157.121.50 10:19, 14 October 2005 (UTC)mightyafrowhitey
I'm dumbfounded here
Q:I do not know a lot about stevie, did he have a wife or kids?
"John Mayer famously lists Vaughan as one of his chief influences."
First of all, you might as well say that Stevie's favorite color is yellow.
Seriously though, out of the pantheon of musicians who have hailed Stevie as an influence, we are singling out John Mayer's reference as "famous?"
Please, someone who knows how to edit the wiki (I talk a big game but claim ignorance on all things technical) please remove this sentence immediately.
To Dumfounded: If you can post a message to a talk page, then you can edit the SRV page as well. Just go to the page, click the "Edit this page" link, and have at it. FWIW, at a minimum, I believe the word "famously" should be deleted from the line you mentioned.--TheJeffMiller 18:13, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
To The Jeff: Thank you sir. That was surprisingly easy. I decided to remove the sentence entirely. It just didn't stand alone as being very important. In the long list of Stevie's accomplishments, I don't think that influencing John Mayer deserves its own paragraph.
A little like crediting Shakespeare for inspiring Carrot-Top, don't you think?
I remember reading somewhere that Stevie had really bad stomach uncers from his habit of disolving a gram of cocaine in his bottle of Jack Daniels, which he would drink during gigs.207.157.121.50 10:25, 14 October 2005 (UTC)mightyafrowhitey
Dear Mr. IP Address
I think it was an eight-ball in a can of budweiser. Either way, I think you heard it on VH1 BTM. I don't think we should trust them. Not that it didn't necessarily happen - we know he was a heavy drug user and that his health suffered - but I've never heard the Jack Daniels thing.
I'm pretty sure his hospitalization in Europe was stomach-related though. I think that's when he got wise.
Another source of confusion - The section talking about Stevie's requirement of a bottle of Scotch backstage and his cocaine habit cites the year 1985. It states he continued this behaviour for 9 years. That would mean he altered this behavior in 1996, 6 years after his death. This should be corrected. 15:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)15:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)15:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)15:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)15:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)15:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)15:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)~~
Influences
I was wondering wther it would be worthwhile adding a section listing his immediate influences, such as Freddy King, etc. Andrew Spinner 17:12, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
I believe you meant Albert King didn't you? I am an avid SRV historian and amateur musician and out of everything I have ever read I have never heard or seen Freddy King's name mentioned as an influence to SRV. other noteworthy influences are Jimi Hendrix of course and over all according to Stevie himself in numerous interviews (too numerous to list here) his Brother Jimmy was his biggest influence.
I have listened to some Freddy King tunes and it sounds to me like he could have well been an influence.he originated from Texas until he moved to chicago in 1949, where he jammed with Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters. but like you I dont remmember hearing him mentioned when it relates to SRV but listen to some of Freddy's playin and you might have to ask yourself if there is some influence.
point taken, I guess you could say there may have been more ifluences than just the ones he mentions. I have oftened wondered how or what he felt about Jimmy Page, Rory gallagher, and Alvin Lee although these fellow guitarists weren't early blues musicians they have all claimed the same influences as Stevie did and since they were all around before him, I wonder if they had any influence on him....just curious has anyone out there heard any of these musicians mentioned in interviews or other media by Stevie?
I have read somewhere in the liner notes of a SRV CD that he also was strongly influenced by Lonnie Mack. This should be included. Check out this entry in WP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonnie_Mack
Equipment
I added the line about Number One being a gift from Ray Henning of Ray Henning's Heart of Texas Music in Austin, TX.
I deleted a made-up fact about his guitar 'Red'. The handedness of a guitar neck does not affect the sound or feel of a guitar in any significant way. 00:04 March 1 2007 (GMT)
