Glad this is getting out there. He was freaking amazing.

The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/

Thanks for posting this, otherwise I never would have seen it.

He was such a great drummer, and more than that, a genuinely nice and humble person.

I saw Cameo live in 1995 or 1996, the same tour I believe that was immortalized on the Nasty live album. It was a killer show, only too short.

I guess it was John Blackwell on drums on both the show I attended and the album?

Little did I know then than this drummer, whom I probably hardly noticed at the time, would becaome such an important player in the purple world...
