Teebs Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Loved reading about the Wrecking Crew, especially the books by Kent Hartman & Hal's own book. Very sad he's gone. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/mar/12/hal-blaine-drummer-who-dominated-mid-century-pop-dies-aged-90 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/mar/12/hal-blaine-be-my-baby-bridge-over-troubled-water-performances Edited March 12, 2019 by Teebs 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Noticed this on Facebook earlier, although he was 90, it's still sad to read about it. Apart from being a top, top player, he was quite a character with his show biz stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Sad news indeed! He was in the Sky Arts show "The Art Of Drumming" I believe. He is definitely one of those people who, if you don't know his name, you'll have definitely have heard his playing! Astonishing back catalogue! RIP Hal!

casapete Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Great quote from his family - " May he rest forever on 2 and 4 ". His playing (and legendary start) on the song, 'Be my baby' by The Ronettes will always be a favourite of mine. RIP Hal, one of the absolute greats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
