How understimated the Billy Cotton Band was. Used to love listening to them on BBC Light Programme on Sundays. Of course it is superfluous to all the previous comments to say what a great drummer Kenny Clare was. It is a trip in time to hear all these wonderful arrangements. Who arranged this? Arrangers rarely got the praise due to them (while they were alive).

Great Drummer !!

Kenny used all sorts through the years. He had a WFL, then an Ajax when he was with the Dankworth band. Then it was back to Ludwig for most of the 1960s and early 1970s, switching to Premier when Alan Gilbey developed the Resonators. Then from the late 1970s up to his death, he mostly used Slingerlands.

Speaking of "Can't buy me Love" I have a great recording of Ella Fitzgerald singing this tune & recorded in london with Kenny Clare on drums.He was the best all round drummer england ever had.One of his best albums is "Drum Spatcular" with Ronnie Stephson.

were the Beatles about when this was recorded?......who did the 'cant buy me love' bit first....was this filmed after '63???....I always thought that 'Do you want to know a secret' was familiar when I heard George harrison on a ferguson tape recorder in Epsteins office and they did admit to pinching ideas from the Beach Boys for the sergeant pepper album.Makes you think.
