Yup. First thing that struck me was Lee Michaels with a bass player added and lots of overdrive. Having the bass player frees him up to do a lot of slapping stuff that Lee didn't. I really like what this guy does. Great singing,playing and organ sound. People like him give me hope for live music.

AFAICT, Lee appears to be mostly known in the US. Plus he hasn't released anything 40 years as far as I can tell. I had never heard of him, either, until I started hanging out in organ-related forums. I'm 42. Lachey is 37, and Australian.

Funny thing is he says somewhere on his Facebook page he just found out about Lee Michaels like a few weeks or months ago. How do you get to be a b3 player of his age and not know about LM?

 

Could be the result of common influences (although in this case I'm hard pressed to say who they might be).

Definitely runs in the family, his brother , Clayton Doley is also a great Hammond player , their parents must be very proud ! Their is a few very good Hammond players in Australia and the Pacific , Mr Benebig, Tim Neal , Darren Heinrich just to name a few .

"Ive been playing Hammond since long before anybody paid me to play one, I didn't do it to be cool, I didnt do it to make a statement......I just liked it "
