A very talented musician who helped Marvin assemble his last assault "Midnight Love"


 


I think Ritz stated "There would be no Midnight Love without Gordon Banks!"


A very true comment

This guy is definitely one of the most talented musicians i know. I'm extremely proud to say that he is my favorite uncle and a highly respected musical role model.


Gordon-do your fans a favor...as long as you live please keep the music ALIVE-especially in these ever-changing times. We need more musicians like you! DON'T STOP THE MUSIC

Gordon my good man had the pleasure of hanging out with you and the The group Maxx in Atlanta . I was your sound man for a hot hot second in Atlanta. It's pleasure to know your guitar playing is noted in the top 100.....Please check out my dearest friend when time permits in L.A.  Her name is Dee Dee Foster and she plays BB Kings joint and Temple Bar.    Alls well in Atlanta .....
