Posted November 20, 20231 yr George Brown, long-time drummer of Kool & The Gang has died. Given how important drums are to soul music (and other popular music genres) I thought his passing should be noted on this website. R.I.P. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/nov/17/george-brown-kool-the-gang-drummer-dead?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Great funky drumming on this Billboard # 1 R&B cut.
November 22, 20231 yr Yes, RIP George. His passing actually made the rolling news headlines on Sky. Great memories of Kool & The Gang and Fatback Band records spun at the first discos I went to at a local rugby club back in the early 70s. Their Light Of Worlds album was one of first soul/funk albums I bought. Still cherish (no pun intended) it now.
