Are you sure about that? 
The album credits George Clinton & Grace Cook (aka, Eddie Hazel's mother, for legal reasons) as the writers.. Yep and he is credited on Comin on drums. I thought that sounded familiar, cuz I remember seeing many years after I had the album and I was so surprisd. But I definately didn't know about Earhole.

God I'm so late to this thread. He was so young. 
Love that photo though. I've never seen it before. I like that pic too. Both Miles and Jimi looked so happy right there. U can see the kinship that they shared. They truly were bros. I have this pic and several others from that day. It was from a Hendrix gig in 67 in San Francisco at a park. All of the photos from that day are very special. The stage Jimi was playing on was seriously low. People were packed around the stage. U can clearly see the wonder and intensity in their faces watching Jimi perform. My fave pic from that day is one of Jimi and a little black girl. It appears that the girl has given Jimi a flower. It's one of the best pics ever taken of Jimi, I think. And certainly one of the best ever taken of a musical artists. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Sad news.
Buddy was one of my favourate drummers, even though I only really know him from his work with Hendrix and Santana. I really dig that lazy backbeat of his, especially on Band of Gypsies tracks like 'Who Knows?' and 'Machine Gun'. Another Gypsy sunset, then ... Heaven just got that little bit funkier. | |

Peacefully Rest, Brother.  perfection is a fallacy of the imagination... | |

 RIP to one of the greatest drummers with the most soulful voice in Rock & Roll history.
The Band of Gypsies were amazing and truly a great rock trio.  NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

RIP-- I just heard that the movie of jimi hendrix aired and they talked about how hendrix started the band with buddy: the electric ladyland but the record company didn't want him to change the paper money. so he didn't want to compromise and next thing you know, he (jimi) was dead. then the electric flag, buddy's band came out. I don't know if this is all factual, but that is what I heard happened in the movie. I loved buddy too. I have five of the six I see in the earlier post, plus a couple of others. he was great. nipsy | |

I saw him in the late 60's in Chicago with Electric Flag and his own Buddy Miles Express twice. The second time he had another drummer with him so he could get out from behind his kit and front the band on some of the vocals. But on many of the songs they both played their kits which both had double kick drums. Man, that shit was drivin' hard like a locomotive. Then I saw him again in '71 touring behind Message to the People. We saw him at the Auditorium theater and somewhow we wound up at an aftershow at a small club on the south side. Besides a few members of his band my girlfriend and I were the only white folk in the house. It was good vibes all night. Great memories. If ya wanna hear some good shit go to http://songza.com/ type Buddy Miles into the search bar and click on Joe Tex. 37 years later that jam still kicks major ass and the mix sounds as fresh as anything modern. We will miss you Buddy. Keep drivin' on. Truer words were never spoken  "Who gon' clean up all deez Flowers" ----Eddie Murphy as mr. clarence | |

tA Well that was certainly long before the days of sampling but quite often in jazz tunes the players (usually during solos) will "quote" a passage from another popular tune, slipping it in when no one is expecting it. Kinda like when Prince inserted the "Help me. I think I'm fallin'..." melody from Joni Mitchell in The Ballad of Dorothy Parker or another tune I can't think of the name of right now (maybe off Emancipation or The Vault?) where P slips in the defining passage of Take the A Train, Duke Ellingtron's signature song penned by Billy Strayhorn. For those that aren't aware, Buddy lifted the basic horn riff from a 1970 Joe Texs tune called You're Right Ray Charles but whether they ever discussed it or not I think it was cool of Buddy to give propers to Joe by naming the tune after him.

http://www.youtube.com/wa...re=related Not one of his better nights. He had it a bit more together when I saw that tour at The Wiltern Theater when they came through L.A. Pretty much a Santana Super Band... Chester Thompson - B3 Tom Coster - keys Alphonso Johnson - bass Graham Lear - drums Jorge Santana - guitar ...and most (if not all) of the original percussionists. Strange opening act - Nu Shooz
