Both of their sounds are imbedded in my brain, but I never knew their names:

The Faces knew how to party, so did Bobby Keys. RIP

Keys was quite the character, same b day as Keith Richards. If I recall correctly, keys got the boot from the party château where the stones taped exile on main street. That place was burning man before they invented burning man. Richards auto biography from 2 or 3 years back is a hoot. Stones versus the world, great stuff and a different time, can't see todays stars overcoming those types of barriers

Yes, highly recommend "Life", Keith Richards autobio. Keys was a good friend and fellow junky. Great stories about their friendship in that book.
