This really bummed me out. Hal played on soooooo many great records, so many important records. He DEFINED what it means to be a session drummer. Here's a list of just the #1 records.

Thank you! Yes, a once-in-a-generation talent.

(His intro on "Be My Baby" is probably his most famous bit.)

In Max Weinberg's book he says something to the effect of "If Hal were ONLY known for Be My Little Baby he'd still be a legend." I have to agree.

I may not agreee with the 12 songs they selected, but it’s a darn fine tribute article.

Had a run of 6 straight years of record of the year Grammies from '66-'71.

Bumping this up because I'm feeling too lazy to go look for the VERY POPULAR Rory thread where he indicted ALL Trump supporters for "lynching" Jussie Smollett.

Funny how he was so willing to let go of that 'popularity...'

Let's MRGA!
