Phil Chen

Rest In Peace Brother! I first met Phil at the Jeff Beck "Blow By Blow" show at the Shrine Auditorium with my dear friend, and fellow Musician, William Olvis. We have been friends with Phil for over 40 years! Remembering Phil playing with Rod Stewart at Long Beach, then showing up at my Apartment in Hollywood, looking for Susan Youngblood to record some "Backing Vocals" Thanks Phil for coming out to our home so many times with Einstein Brown and Johnny O, Great Reagge Music! Robby Krieger...

It’s September 2024 and I am only now discovering that Phil passed away in 2021 and I am so sad to hear this news because I had hoped to contact him. I met Phil and his brother 53 years ago in 1971 at Heathrow Airport when I arrived in the UK to start my first trip to Europe. I was 22 and scared and Phil (who was 26) and Francis noticed me looking lost and offered to help me. They carried my luggage and gave me a ride to my hotel; helped me check in and re-wired the plug of my American hair...

My deepest condolences to the family. Phil was an incredibly gifted musician and always had a smile and was always welcoming to the audience. Hearing of his passing was a stab in so many hearts. Godspeed Phil. I hope you've hooked up with Ray and Jim and are knocking out the tunes entertaining everybody!!! Rock on!!!

My heartfelt condolences are offered to the family, many, many friends, and fans of Mr. Phil Chen. Mr. Phil Chen was a prolific session bassist who played with Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, and Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of the Doors.
