Jim Gordon is the best drummer ever. He could show up at a studio and instantly create the perfect beat and fills for whatever genre he happened to be doing that day. Everything by Derek and the Dominoes, Harrison’s All Things Must Pass triple album, Nilsson, including Jump Into the Fire, Steele Dan’s Pretzel Logic album, even freaking Pet Sounds was him. The list of songs and albums and artists he played with is just ridiculously long and we don’t even know how many Times producers had him do the drumming for the studio version of a song in place of the band’s actual drummer.

Jim Gordon (born July 14, 1945)[1] is an American recording artist, musician and songwriter. The Grammy Award winner was a very frequently used session drummer in the late 1960s and 1970s, recording with many well-known musicians of the time,[2] and was the drummer in the blues rock supergroup Derek and the Dominos, Little Richard and Delaney & Bonnie. Gordon played drums on George Harrison's 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. In 1983, Gordon, at the time an undiagnosed schizophrenic, murdered his mother and was sentenced to sixteen years to life in prison.Gordon was the drummer on the Incredible Bongo Band's Bongo Rock album, released in 1972, and his drum break on the LP's version of "Apache" has been frequently sampled by rap music artists.[7]

cant forget Flash's remix. he was playing that since the 70s and was way better than Sugarhill version
@RayBellis
Bert Weedon recorded it first but wasn't released for a while after recording. The Shadows version was released around the same time as Weedon's and was way better.

Makes me think of the Beastie Boys' "Root Down":
Every morning I took the train to high street station Doing homework on the train, what a fucked up situation On the way back up hearing battle tapes Through the underground, underneath the sky scrapes Like Harlem world battles on the Zulu beat show It's Kool Moe D vs. Busy Bee there's one you should know
