Music Favorite Band/Musician from KC Current or Past

I was a big fan of Shooting Star. Probably my top pick.
Pat Metheny is from Lee's Summit and is my favorite contemp Jazz musician.
Hall of fame for me is Charlie Parker if we are talking straight up bebop.

The reason I started this thread- I had no idea Burt Bacharach was from KC.

Others?

Shooting Star and The Rainmakers are the two bands that I like that I know are from that area.

Big Joe Turner

As a young man in my early twenties, a blues club sprung up at North Brighton and 69 highway near my home at the time. The club was called Night Moves and the blues circuit came through. I got to listen to many legendary blues artists and sealed a passion for real Blues music. One fellow we all enjoyed his music was Provine (Little) Hatch Jr. He was a good dude we got to know and we caught he show along with his band the Houserockers often.

Saw these guys a few times back in the early/mid 90s. Had a Stone Temple Pilots sound to them. Fun times
