THE UK'S MOST PROLIFIC SESSION DRUMMER. |
|
| For the first time ever Bobby Graham has taken the opportunity to share some memories of the acts he has worked with, talk about the session scene, and reveal just who did play on some of the most famous (.and collectable) records of the '60s. Bob Graham is without doubt the most recorded drummer in British '60s pop, but he was an unaccredited session man, who like most session players became a studio musician after passing through a series of bands. In Bobs' case it was The Outlaws, Joe Brown and The Bruvvers, Marty Wilde and The Wildcats and The John Barry Seven. The session scene is murky, and arguments still rage about who played on what but one look at the discography reveals just how amazing his list of credits is. In his autobiography Kink, Dave Davies recalls Graham, "He was a great inspirational drummer. I realised what great rock drumming was all about". Ray Davies never forgot Graham, and asked him to play on his re-recording of "You Really Got Me" and the title track of his I998 album "Storyteller". But it wasn't only the Kinks that rated Graham. In June I962 Brian Epstein had asked him to replace Pete Best in The Beatles! | |
