Gary Farr and the T-Bones was a British rhythm and blues band that was active in the mid-1960s. The band was known for their energetic live performances and their tight, bluesy sound. Keith Emerson, who later became famous as a keyboardist for Emerson, Lake & Palmer, was a member of the band for a short period of time.

Emerson joined the T-Bones in 1964 as their keyboard player. At the time, the band was based in London and was playing gigs in and around the city. Emerson's keyboard skills added a new dimension to the T-Bones' sound, and the band quickly gained a reputation as one of the most exciting live acts on the British music scene.

However, Emerson's tenure with the T-Bones was short-lived. In 1965, he left the band to join another group called The V.I.P.s. The T-Bones continued to perform and record without Emerson, but they were never able to achieve the same level of success as they did during his time with the band.

Despite its relatively short lifespan, Gary Farr and the T-Bones remain a notable footnote in the history of British rock and roll. The band's high-energy performances and bluesy sound helped to lay the groundwork for the British blues explosion of the late 1960s, which included acts like The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, and Cream.
