TrevorR Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Oh, this one hurts. Rest in Peace Clyde, officially the Funkiest Drummer out there. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/clyde-stubblefield-james-browns-funky-drummer-dead-at-73-w467805 Quote
silverfoxnik Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1487462069' post='3240048'] Wonderful drummer. Very sad news. [/quote] +1 RIP Quote
SICbass Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Very sad. I saw him about 25 years ago playing with Maceo, grooved like..... well, like Clyde Stubblefield. RIP. Quote
Old Man Riva Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Oh bu@#er... The part right at the end of the 'live' version of Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose where he reintroduces the groove is one of my favourite bits of music ever. Live affirmigly groovy. What a shame... Quote
blue Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Very sad. A bad cat indeed. He lived in Madison WI not far from me at all. He used to play at a little club on Tuesday nights. Blue Quote

Barking Spiders Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 A great drummer indeed and a personal fave and a sad way to go, kidney disease. Prince reportedly had to pay for his treatments as he had no health insuramce Quote
Huge Hands Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 He was a fantastic drummer, as were many more of JB's stick men. I can remember trying (miserably) to play along to old James Brown grooves when I was learning to play drums as a teenager. Fantastic stuff! RIP Clyde. Quote

spongebob Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 One of my faves, too. Very sad loss. Quote
