Great article about a great performer!

And you missed some stuff. Did you know that he was an exciting and talented drummer? That he dabbled in LaVeyan Satanism?

I fear, however, that if he lived today, he would have been a Trump supporter — just a hunch based on things like his support for Richard Nixon and other extreme decisions of his. He always wanted to confound expectations!

Just as well that we’ll never find out — he wears well in the memory as he is.

Hey, check out this epic track I just found with Sammy Davis Jr, Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich!
