Not the Commissioner, the onetime drummer of L.A.'s "Wrecking Crew" that played on a stack of pop hits, spent decades in prison for being driven by schizophrenia to kill his mother, won a Grammy years after the fact when official co-writer Eric Clapton revived "Layla" on *MTV Unplugged*, and allegedly swiped credit from Rita Coolidge (whom he brutally beat, f'rinstance, in 1970) for part of said "Layla."
In said prison, Vacaville, CA; 77. I wonder who his executor is... could it be Coolidge? https://variety.com/2023/music/news/jim-gordon-drummer-layla-cowriter-dead-1235555775/ (link) B -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
