"Uncle Larry"
Just because you don't know a drummers name that was on a track, that doesn't mean this person is not an influence. I've absorbed so much of Hal's stuff....unknowingly when it was happening way back when, that I daresay he is a greater influence on me than Ringo, who was a huge influence. Hal played for so many diverse artists though.
My main purpose for this thread is to give credit where credit is due. Now Ringo is great. But I think it's fair to say that Hal was easily as influential.
Opinions?
While I'm at it, Jim Gordon and Roger Hawkins (The Swamper's drummer at Muscle Shoals Studio, played Aretha's "Respect", Wilson Pickett's "Land of 1000 Dances" and many other iconic songs) were highly influential in an unknown sort of way like Blaine.
Hal's recording life during that era just fascinates me to no end.
