He's one of my three favourite drummers ever, and Al Jackson and Keith Moon were both dead by the time of this record. He's very powerful, and for me this single is as close as drumming gets to being overtly sexy. Sadly he made one of the worst artistic moves ever, after Chic stopped, joining Robert Palmer and some ex-Durans in Power Station. He was asked to be the drummer in Led Zep once, you know.
