Tribut-Mixtape: James Brown‘s Original Funky Drummer Clyde Stubblefield (1943 – 2017)

Sein Schlagzeug-Solo im James Brown Klassiker „Funky Drummer“ machte ihn weltberühmt und gehört zu den meistgesampelten Stücken der Musikgeschichte. Jetzt ist Clyde Stubblefield im Alter von 73 Jahren an Nierenversagen in einem Krankenhaus in Madison (Wisconsin) gestorben. R.I.P. Brother!

2017-02-18: James Brown‘s Original Funky Drummer Clyde Stubblefield dies at 73. Stubblefield was best known for Brown’s 1970 single „Funky Drummer“, the possibly most sampled rhythm in music history. As a member of the original J.B.’s Mr. Stubblefield can be considered being one of Funk’s originators. This short mix doesn’t really reflect his huge impact on Funk music, but I had do at least a little something. Peace & Love to his family!
