| Awe, man, that's a drag. Ralph played on so many great tracks, where do you even start? And he was the A-lister at the top of the A-list, a quadruple-scale badass who could completely incite a booty-shaking groove-fest with one well-placed cowbell. (Or, at least one well-placed cowbell per beat...there's an old story about how he turned around the lame, stagnant rhythm track to Carly Simon & James Taylor's "Mockingbird" with a single, one-take cowbell overdub.) |
