I spent a fair bit of time with Keith LeBlanc who was the drummer at Sugar Hill and cut a lot of the Fubky 4 Plus 1, Kool Moe Dee, Grandmaster Flash etc. Sylvia Robinson was very happy when drum machines became popular… a lot of drummers lost their jobs. Keith took a different path and became the most in demand programmer in New York. There’s always been culture shifts and talented people adapt, trouble is talented people don’t run Universal. Those folks make Suge Knight look like a pussy.
