....a real cool cat.

This guy has played on virtually every record from the 70s on. Can play his behind off.

My favorite percussion playing of his: Sister Sledge's "Thinking of You". The interplay between him and guitarist Nile Rodgers at the song's beginning is fierce.

I met him in Chicago in 1980 at Chicagofest. I forget who he was playing with at the time. Bad cat.

No, it wasn't them. I'll probably remember later.
