Hey, Poppagator. Earl Palmer is my all time very favourite drummer. Anybody who played on "Good Golly Miss Molly, Bring It On Home To Me, La Bamva and Somethin' Else" gets my vote. The sound of the Cosimo Little Richard sides is wonderful. By the way I believe the Motown men nipped out to play on "Higher and Higher" which Mr. Gordy would pronably not have approved of.
