" Let’s just take it one step further and say that without this album, there would be no Jeff Beck or Jimi Hendrix — both of them big lovers of the whammy bar — and that I also hear quite a big influence here on Keith Richards, whose early blues soloing style on the Stones’ pre-Aftermath records borrows more than a few tricks probably learned from Ike’s instrumentals."
But how do we know that they actually heard this record? Do you just mean Ike's general style and not this album itself (that would make more sense)?
Well, don't take it too literally, of course, though I'm pretty sure they all at least heard 'Prancing', which was a single.
Hendrix actually played guitar for the Kings of Rhythm for a short while (soon after this album), before he was fired by Ike for (not surprisingly) drawing too much attention to himself instead of the boss.
