Occasionally I do a mix on a piece of music technology. Seems that “fuzz”, started in Nashville with a broken amplifier, and it was Country artists that first adopted it, which led to the first pedal, Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone. My mix moves from Nashville to London with The Rolling Stones and Beatles, and later Hendrix with the Fuzzface. Along the way we also hear fuzzy sounds from Diana Dors, Burt Bacharach, Nancy Sinatra, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Andy Williams, Aphrodite’s Child with Vangelis and Demis Roussos.

Fuzz started in Nashville_ That was certainly a surprise. As were some of the artists on your lists.
My first thought was naturally these jolly popsters.
Not sure how much fuzz there was but it was a great band name.
