My Take

Chas Chandler fascinates me because his second act dwarfed his first. He was a fine bassist in the Animals, good enough for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, yet what I keep coming back to is his eye as a manager. Spotting Jimi Hendrix and bringing him to London, then later steering Slade, takes a kind of instinct you cannot teach. I think the rare gift is knowing genius when you see it and getting out of its way. Chandler did that twice. For me he's proof that shaping careers can be as creative an act as performing, maybe more so.

Overview
