"Dr.Rhythm and Mr.Wild Man"

Rick Parfitt-rhythm guitarist and singer of Status Quo, one of the worlds greatest rock-bands. Rick is my personal favourite in the band. I have always admired his style. The man simply is rock'n roll. Just watch him hammering down the first chords of Caroline and you'll know what I mean! I think that Rick is the best song-writer in the band. Without Rick there wouldn't be any Quo. Take a look below on the long list of songs that he has written throughout the years.
