Blue J Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Some of you may be asking...who? Only the finest drummer in the history of soul and R&B, in my opinion. He is arguably the most sampled drummer in history. He powered James Brown's music in the late 1960s. When I think of all the the things he did, both in the studio and live, this is the one performance that stands out to me the most- from the live album Say it Live and Loud (Dallas, TX, 26 August 1968):  https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/18/arts/music/clyde-stubblefield-dead.html?_r=0&referer=http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEV0WAKqtYs9kANXNx.9w4;_ylu=X3oDMTE0bGhyaDE4BGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDVUkyRkJUM18xBHNlYwNzcg--/RV=2/RE=1487641344/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.nytimes.com%2f2017%2f02%2f18%2farts%2fmusic%2fclyde-stubblefield-dead.html/RK=0/RS=DmHu8DNQeXRAKxjuK4tuNjhZ.NM- RIP 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) UCR has his obit up but with jazz-drummer Max Roach's picture on it! It's been up for 2 days now. Groan...Clyde and Jabo, holy sh!t! Great drummers! http://img.wennermedia.com/featured/rs-234373-GettyImages-73989748.jpg Max Roach has been gone for nearly ten years! :sigh: That's a really unfortunate mistake.  Clyde and Jabo, though, you're not kidding. Jabo stayed with JB later, into the '70s. He played on one of my favorite JB records, The Payback (1973). It is just dripping with heavy funk. One thing from Stubblefield's obit that I didn't know- when he started suffering significant health problems about six or seven years ago, Prince paid off all of his medical bills. And the two of them had never met. Edited February 21, 2017 by Blue J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
