Blues Musician Barry Goldberg Dies at 83 After Cancer Battle
Barry Goldberg, the influential blues-rock keyboardist known for his collaboration with Bob Dylan at the iconic 1965 Newport Folk Festival, passed away at the age of 83 after a decade-long battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. His death was confirmed by representative Bob Merlis, who noted that Goldberg was surrounded by his wife Gail and son Aram in hospice care. Initially born in Chicago, Goldberg became a prominent figure in the music scene, working with legendary artists like Muddy Waters and Otis Rush. His performance with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band during Dylan's electrifying set at Newport marked a pivotal moment in both Dylan's career and the music industry. Notably, Goldberg's self-titled 1974 album was the only one produced by Dylan for another artist, and he later produced Dylan's recording of 'People Get Ready.' His extensive career also included founding bands like The Electric Flag and engaging in notable collaborations with various rock and blues legends.
