Jet Harris

Thanks Jet, when I was a school kid in Watford, Herts in the 60s I had to run out and buy "Diamonds", I was the only one in the house who was alowed to handle it in case someone broke it! I am one of The Commodores group from here in the U.S. where I've lived for the past 4o years. God bless you my friend. J.D. Nicholas

I've been teaching myself guitar for a few years, and have learned more than a few Shadows tunes. I recently learned how to play Diamonds.  It was through playing Diamonds that I decided to learn more about Jet. Today I just finished the Nicolson book about his life. What a road it was for him. If I can, I'd like to pick up some of his albums. Thanks for the great music, Jet. God Bless.

I'm so glad that Jet went on to have a happy life with many years of recovery, and a loving wife. I was the singer on My Lady and You don''t live twice. I will thank Jet once again for giving me a break in to the busines. I am proud to have worked with him in 1967.

Best wishes to all of Jet's fans.

We all miss you but know your spirit remains and that not just the 24 no 1s are remembered ... God bless you.

You were a major influence to us all.

RIP Jet

Jet was a fantastic bass player and I believe it was an absolute disgrace that he was not invited on the last Shadows tour.  How could they leave him out, he was the backbone of the group. I would love to know whose decision it was. I was so glad that I got to see him on stage last  October in the Marty Wilde show. I wondered if anyone knows whether the book on his life story "Survivor" ever came out and is available. Jet will always be remembered when I see a Fender Bass guitar. A very modest and down to earth man but with a massive talent to be envied. I hope he knew how very popular he was. RIP Jet.

JET  "SOME PEOPLE" say you were a "MAN OF MYSTERY",but you fought like an "APACHE" against "THE SAVAGE" Cancer.  You slipped away, just after "MIDNIGHT", climbed aboard the "KON TIKI", and sailed towards "ATLANTIS".   JET,  I Hope you found, your "WONDERFUL LAND"   RIP.

God bless you Jet, we love you.

Just thought I'd cheer all Jet's fans up by repeating.."I don't do smilin'". "Don't get me started on bloody boy bands" ." Spent 20 minutes doin' me 'air then left it at home!." and, of course, remember the parting of the Solent?! A real gent who will never be forgotten.

                                all of us true rockers.look at gene vincents tribute pages.jet  will allways be thought of as that  class of legend.eddie,gene,billy,johnny burnette,.you conjure  an image of bsa,s.mad miles,and yo,ure wonderful guitar.jet.ihanks'l

Any newsof the memorial service for Jet? Would love to go if possible. Maybe if Janet reads this she can reply?

To me there will only ever be two of the Shadows who were the driving force behind those fantastic early Shadows tunes between 1959 and 1962 - Jet & Tony.Without these two the Shadows early music would probably be just as mediocre as the later lack lustre tunes like Dance On etc.Cliff Richard also owes his success to the guys - without their excellent backing I think he'd have found it much harder to become the star he did.Jet and Tony have left some fantastic music which will never be forgotten - Although I'm getting on now in my middle sixties I have made sure my 30 year old daughter Victoria has seen Jet in concert and knows his music well - she has started playing bass guitar herself and guess what tunes she is learning - yes you guessed it - Besame Mucho,Diamonds and The Main Title Theme.Jet was always my idol - I played his records at school to the other kids much to the annoyance of the teachers.Jet and Tony your music will live on forever - God Bless 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JET HOPE YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN FROM HEAVEN X

Still cannot believe that we will not be seeing Jet again. What a fantastic Man & so approachable;truly the best of "The Shadows" & a legend. Cliff Richard could have helped Jet......call himself a Christian!!!. Jet also should have been on the "Final Tour";it would not be The Shadows if it was'nt for Jet. We will truly miss you Jet;Rest in Peace Great Man. This world is not the same without you.  

Thanx Jet for learning me how to play a bassguitar. Thanx for all the fine years! Thanx for beïng my friend even we never met!

RIP Jet!!!

Proud to say that I am one of Jet Harris's most loyal fans in this part of the world.   I have had the honour of dropping a line in this GuestBook on 13 September 2007.  His superb bass notes especially on "Peace Pipe" will remain diamonds forever.  Rest in peace, Jet., you'll be greatly missed. 

"JETS" legend , will live on, and his Genius will still be talked about,  long after todays so called  pop stars, have faded  into  Obscurity. !!
