Huge thanks to Egon of the amazing @nowagain for these records from Bernard “Pretty” Purdie’s personal collection. A bunch of random records formerly owned by the world’s most recorded drummer, with some fantastic 70s album art and some things I’ve never heard (this Strawbs album is pretty sweet). An awesome piece of music history from the funky heartbeat behind a wild array of musicians, from the giants of the organ (Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Johnny Hammond Smith, Groove Holmes, Jimmy McGriff), Nina Simone, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Gil Scott-Heron to Steely Dan, Michael Bolton, and Hall & Oates. #bernardpurdie #prettypurdie #purdieshuffle #groovedrummer #thepocket #funkydonkey #vinyl #dustyfingers #rappcats #nowagainrecords
