BUDDY HARMON, 79
Considered to be one of the top session drummers in Nashville and his drumming can be heard on some 18,000 recordings. He took up drums at early age, following his mom who played percussion in the family band. His career spanned nearly 50 years.
The September 8th Time Magazine said, "From the distinctive cymbal crashes that punctuate Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer" to the chugging beat of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" his work can be heard.
He was on some of my all-time favorite songs such as:
Cathy's Clown and Bye Bye Love by the Everly Brothers
Pretty Woman and Only the Lonely-- Roy Orbison
King of the Road-- Roger Miller
Stand By Your Man-- tammy Wynette
The Battle of New Orleans-- Johnny Horton
These are ones I found with a quick look. That would have to be one impressive list.
