Top LA Studio Drummer Dead
Every one of us here on the forum has heard the playing of ace Los Angeles studio drummer Ricky Lawson, formerly of the top studio group Yellowjackets (recording band for Anita Baker and many others).
As a drummer, Ricky has recorded and toured with heavyweights such as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston (for example, he’s the drummer on Whitney’s “I’ll Always Love You”), Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Al Jarreau, Bette Midler, Quincy Jones, George Benson, Steely Dan, the Yellowjackets, Babyface, Toto, George Duke, and others!
This guy was the real deal! Truly sad that he died – and at just 59!
