He did over 500 demos for Motown,
He recorded Miles' Bitches Brew... without Miles,
And he happens to be the actual guy really playing drums on your favorite Beatles songs !
Bernard « Pretty » Purdie is the name James, Stevie, Aretha, and Marvin kept asking for, making him the most recorder drummer ever...
Years later, your favorite rapper would sample him,
and one day, some of you will change their profile pic 'cause he died...
But you can also pay attention now,
when a true living legend is about to share knowledge
through a casual conversation with young fans who also happen to be the human beatbox world champions - the members of Under Kontrol -...
"Pretty As I Wanna Be" is the story of an encounter between two generations, a musical bridge between Hip Hop and one of its favorite loops provider, and more importantly, a simple gift of truth and clarity being passed on.
if you're claiming the beatles didn't overdub you're absolutely crazy! Whether or not he's actually on those recordings, he could be. Anything he mentions he recorded on he probably did. He is the most recorded drummer in history.

He's amazing but he is not on Beatles tracks .That's horseshit.The Beatles recorded 2 track in the day.the only possible scenario for him replacing Ringo is that Ringo would be on 1 side and Purdie on the pther. They did not over dub back at that timeI . I Hung with him in Amsterdam .No matter what group I mentioned, he told me he played on their record.I don't know why he always does this. But i still love his feel and the numerous classic tracks he actually played on
