I can't show this man enough respect. It feels likes he plays on about 15% of my collecttion which in turn led to the discovery, directly or indirectly, of the other 85%

damn, sad news. power of soul is an incredible record

Man, this is tough to learn. Hearing him on Melvin Sparks "Who's Gonna Take The Weight" opened and changed my whole concept of drumming as a 15 year old - in my own playing and in the music I sought out after that. Him and Bernard Purdie's Soul Drums. Like many of you all the root of my music collection and taste is Muhammad.
