This is very cool...James Gadson is so unbelievably talented, soulful, innovative, and a simply wonderful person....If I understand correctly, "Loveland" was actually his tune-but there were issues over the ownership of it-so live and let live...He still does lots of great session work, and live dates, with various artists...There's only one-like him, and he's the real-deal! Long-live James Gadson....
i'm no Gadson and i look up to him; i've had the pleasure of holding down the drum chair with Charles Wright. check out the video on Expressyourself the concert was taped at Ford Theater in Hollywood Ca.
Yes, it is a rip-off of Loveland, but James Gadson sang and played the drums on Loveland. So, the question is, is this the same James Gadson? Sounds like it is.
@fnkdrmmr It will be because Gadson was the drummer in the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, not to mention Dyke & the Blazers, James Brown (Get Up Offa That Thing) & later joined Bill Withers with Melvin Dunlap from The Watts Rhythm Band. He's still around & doing sessions, sounding great & turned up on A Beck record recently. I saw him with Eddie Harris in the early 90s & he played wonderfully!
