9. Mr Bloe - Groovin with Mr Bloe....A surprise hit from 1970

 

 

10. Allman Brothers - Jessica......Top gear theme

 

 

11. Cozy Powell - Dance with the devil.....Excellent drummer

 

 

12. Focus - Sylvia.....excellent song from the Dutch band

 

ahhhh..... now i get it! :lol:

 

i replied to vol2 before viewing this one... now thats much better, some corking tracks there.

 

i deffo have the brilliant 'mr bloe', mason williams and booker t in my selection, with the shadows but a different track.

Rasputin by Boney M makes a sneaky use of the same drumming as featured on Dance With The Devil by Cozy Powell, presumably a studio musician did the drumming on the Boney M track as I can't imagine Cozy worked with Boney M!

 

Here's the original Cozy version (not a clip of Cozy but rather his single on a record player!)

and here's Rasputin...

it's even more evident on the 12" version which has an extended intro based around the drumming...
