Bernard Purdie. Great drummer. He would have been in his early 20's on this track. Purdie created a drum sequence that became known as the "Purdie shuffle". Influenced a tremendous amount of drummers including Jeff Porcaro of Toto who implemented it on several songs. For me most notably on Boz Scaggs "Lowdown" which is some of the finest groove drumming I've heard.
Purdie himself was the drummer on James Brown "Get on the Good Foot" (my ATF JB song) as well as Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady".

I saw Albert live in a small club in Montreal in 1990, a few years befor he passed.

His tone, bends, and phrasing were amazing.

He also did his signature long guitar cable walk though the audience while his guitar was screaming!

He used a very unusual open tuning:

More Billy Ocean. He was massive in the 80's. Some delightful bass on this one
