R.I.P. Hal Blaine a true legend
… and a genuine musical badass;
Summed up by the fact that for six- 6!- years in a row the Grammy award-winning Record of the year featured the same drummer on each record -Hal, (with 4 different artists) 1966 - Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass for "A Taste of Honey" 1967 -Frank Sinatra for "Strangers in the Night" 1968 - The 5th Dimension for "Up, Up and Away" 1969 - Simon & Garfunkel for "Mrs. Robinson" 1970 - The 5th Dimension for "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" 1971 - Simon & Garfunkel for "Bridge over Troubled Water" May he rest forever on 2 and 4...!

Re: R.I.P. Hal Blaine a true legend
I'd bet he has played on more hit records than anyone! What a great talent and huge loss. RIP

Re: R.I.P. Hal Blaine a true legend
A very small compilation of Mr. Blaine's work.
And to be fair, it's the artist that gets the recognition, not the session player(s).

Re: R.I.P. Hal Blaine a true legend
Besides all the hit records (350 Top Ten)
...did the Batman Theme, and Rocky Horror; but to Chris' point about never having heard of him, even many legendary drummers who he influenced didn't know- Neil Peart -“When I was growing up, I played along to the radio,” Peart said in 2011, “so I played along to Simon and Garfunkel, the Beach Boys, the Association and the Byrds, and I was really playing along to Hal Blaine.”
