2006 Rock Hall Inductee Spotlight: Miles Davis

During the same week in 1969 that the Woodstock Festival was making rock history, Miles Davis was in the studio recording what would become his biggest selling album, Bitches Brew. He was a popular opening act for groups like The Who, Steve Miller Band, Santana and Grateful Dead. In announcing its 2006 inductees, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame said, "Miles Davis was one of the 20th Century’s most creative artists changing the sound of popular music many times in his six decade career."
