[78-L] Copyright Criminals on PBS - Clyde Stubblefield

[eugene hayhoe]

Wasn't that hard; he is mentioned here and there on records, by JB and others. 
 
If you mean unknown to the same folks who don't know anything that happened before say, 2000, even if they were present (also known as 'the general public') then I guess I'd have to agree. But drummers and other musicians have known about he and Starks for a long time, if I recall correctly, I've seen features bout 'the drummers of JB' as far back as the '70s in places like Modern Drummer & Musician. In one of them, published while JB was living, he said that he had no interest in talking to JB, whom he hadn't seen in many years, because he 'didn't treat people right.'

Morally and legally I agree with you. But the irony is nobody had even heard
of Clyde Stubblefield until samples of his playing started appearing on
other artist's records. James Brown rarely gave album credits to his band
members.

Mr. Stubblefield and his fellow drummer with JB, Jabo Starks, have been
legends for many years in other, more contemporary musical circles. 
 
What I consider Brown's best known work, c. 1965-'69, was mostly cut with
one or both of them on the drums. No surprise to me at all that he's among
the most sampled. Sure seems to me that, morally, if not legally, he should
get some cash out of others profiting from his work. Haven't had a chance to
see the doc yet.
