About Clyde \"The Funky Drummer\" Stubblefield
Clyde Stubblefield is best known for his work with James Brown\'s band of the 60\'s and 70\'s. His drum groove on James Brown\'s Funky Drummer is believed to be the world\'s most sampled record. Clyde joined James Brown\'s band in the mid 60\'s and played on such classics as Cold Sweat and I Got The Feeling. These songs set the standard for rhythmic groove, lyrical content and artistic delivery for generations to come.

In July 2009 the funk drumming legend was diagnosed with kidney failure. Stubblefield (67), who has overcome bladder cancer and is diabetic, now requires lifetime kidney dialysis treatment. He remains optimistic as deals with his new situation, determined to work steadily: \"I just want to be happy\".

Recently an artist coalition launched a donation campaign the for drummer coping with kidney failure.
