**Keith Ferguson (1946–1997)** was an American bass guitarist whose bluesy, groove-oriented playing style became influential in rock and blues circles. Operating primarily during the 1960s and 1970s, Ferguson developed a reputation for his deep, melodic bass lines that complemented the raw energy of his era's rock and blues bands.
Ferguson's technical approach to the bass guitar—emphasizing feel and pocket over flashy technique—resonated with musicians across multiple genres and contributed to the foundational aesthetics that would later influence electronic music producers sampling and interpolating classic rock and blues recordings.
