Syd Barrett of the rock band Pink Floyd apparently came up his band’s name by combining the first names of South Carolina bluesman Pink Anderson and North Carolina bluesman Floyd Council. According to blues scholar Dave Moore of Bristol, UK, “there have been many incorrect stories printed about the derivation of the name.” The origin of the name “Pink Floyd” most likely came from an LP in the possession of Barrett titled Blind Boy Fuller: Country Blues 1935-1949 (Phillips BBL 7512, c. 1962). The liner notes written by Paul Oliver describe Pink Anderson and Floyd Council as being “amongst the many blues singers that were to be heard in the rolling hills of the Piedmont, or meandering with the streams through the wooded valleys.”.
