WOW!...NEWS TO ME!...he was fanatastic!....drummer as well as singer (soulfull was not EVEN the word to describe both chops!)...I remember hearing a track of his called, 'Last Chance for Love'...from the album More Miles Per Gallon...one of the sweetest (and hardest to find) tracks around (i am STILL searching)...sublime...



he had a difficult time, emotionally, with the breakup of BOG, not to mention Jimi's death...



BAND OF GYPSIES, by the way, ONE OF THE TIGHTEST TRIO EVER!.......jimi never sounded more grounded/solid!



gotta have a toast to Buddy tonight...thank you for bringing this up!



wow...

Electric Flag, Buddy Miles Express, Band of Gypsies. He got around and was a part of some earth shaking music. Check out the site wolfgangsvault for some old time bands. The concert noted below is from 1968.

Great drummer (much better than Mitch Mitchell, in my opinion). Perhaps a moment of silence while "Machine Gun" is played over the airwaves?

He deserves more than that. He deserves apologies from people who used to beat the heck out of him, because he was the wrong color.



"Them Changes" lyrics have a purpose.
