Jeff Beck was born Geoffrey Arnold Beck on June 24, 1944, in Wallington, England (per Rolling Stone). He pursued his education at Wimbledon Art College before catching his big break in 1965 when he joined the legendary band, The Yardbirds. Within a year he left the group and in 1967 he formed the Jeff Beck Group with another future rock star, Rod Stewart. Due to personal differences, the group eventually broke up as well. He was a part of a few different bands over the next several years before taking multiple breaks from performing over what would become a decades-long career.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Beck would record music with some of the world's greatest rock legends, including Bon Jovi, Mick Jagger, and Roger Waters. He put out his own albums as well, including "You Had It Coming" in 2001, and "Jeff" in 2003. His most recent album, "18", which he recorded with fellow musician and actor Johnny Depp, dropped in 2022. Beck was also nominated for 17 Grammys over the course of his career and brought home eight of them (per Grammys). Though he was touring as recently as 2022, Jeff Beck sadly died after a brief battle with bacterial meningitis on January 10, 2023, at the age of 78 (via People Magazine).
