Al Kooper says he was “quite surprised and amused” to learn he’s been selected for a “musical excellence award” at the 2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Al Kooper terms himself “quite surprised and amused” to learn he’s been selected for a “musical excellence award” at the 2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Nov. 3 in his birthplace of Brooklyn.Kooper joins frequent Rock Hall nominee Chaka Khan and Elton John’s lyricist Bernie Taupin in the category, which was introduced during 2000 as the sideman award and renamed during 2010.
That luck played out during June 1965 sessions in New York where Kooper found himself creating the organ riff for Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone.” “I would just call it ballsy,” Kooper recalled with a laugh. “I was invited to the session and I went out and sat down at the organ. I wasn’t invited to play. Tom Wilson said, ‘OK, this is Take 2…Hey, what are you doing out there?!’ Once I sat down, I just started playing.
