Paul Cotton is best known for his involvement with the band "POCO". Founded by Jimmy Messina,Richie Furay, in the late "60's". Paul joined "POCO" to replace Jimmy Messina (the 70's). The two spent time together for Jimmy to introduce Paul to "POCO'S" style & methods. Not that Paul Cotton needed direction, he had come from a well known Chicago band called "The Illinois Speed Press". The Band had performed with "POCO" previously, and Richie Furay admired Paul's Guitar styles as well as his vocals. His was a sound he felt that the band could use. He soon became a member of "POCO", and has remained a member since then. Paul has many solo efforts that are worth checking out. He is a member of an extremely talented band. He has stuck with the band through a growth & re-growth. He, Rusty Young, Jack Sundred & George Lawrence are what make up "POCO" today. They are a completely well rounded band, their performances are totally impressive as well as emotional. I feel that they are at there peak now. As we all grow older(gracefully together),I'm only touched more & more by their shows, whenever I get to see them.
