Biography

Showing the Discogs bio

Jim McGuinn aka Roger McGuinn (born July 13, 1942, Chicago, Illinois, USA) is an American rock musician. He is best known for being the lead singer and lead guitarist of the The Byrds.
Influenced by the spiritual movement Subud which (according to statements McGuinn himself made in an interview for Rolling Stone) ascribes importance to "one's name vibrating with one's spirit", he legally changed his name to James Roger McGuinn in 1967 and thereafter went by the name Roger McGuinn professionally and personally.
Note: Please assign credits that either are the surname alone (or misspellings thereof) or include the forename Roger (or its initial) to the alias profile Roger McGuinn as that profile reflects the name change.
