I have heard of him, but I really don't know his work. It seems I heard his name mentioned back in the 1970s. Is he related to Finley Quaye?

If it is the same Caleb Quaye and I can't imagine there are too many with that name. Here is what Wikipedia says about him.
Caleb Quaye (born 1948 in London), is an English Afro-European rock guitarist and studio musician best known for his work in the 1960s and 1970s with Elton John, Mick Jagger, Pete Townshend, Paul McCartney and Hall & Oates. He is the son of Cab Kaye, the younger brother of Terri Quaye, and the older brother of Finley Quaye.

That is him. He was a founding member of Elton Johns band. The guy is simply great. At the start of the night, he asked how many guitar players in the room. About half of the people raised their hands. He came off with a quip about 'Great, now I'm nervous.' LOL
Eric Clapton called him the worlds greatest guitar player.
Today, (Sat) he gave a workshop on guitar. Sad to say, I missed it. I had something else planned already.
