Bobby Gregg
Robert J. (Bobby) Gregg (April 30, 1936 – May 3, 2014) was an American musician who performed as a drummer and record producer. As a drum soloist and band leader he recorded one album and several singles, including one Top 40 single in the United States. But he is better known for his work as a drummer on several seminal 1960s songs, including Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" and Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence". He was also temporarily a member of The Hawks, which later became known as The Band.
==Early career==
Gregg first attracted attention by 1955 as the only white member of the otherwise all-black group Steve Gibson and the Red Caps. By 1962, he fronted Bobby Gregg and His Friends for an instrumental single, "The Jam - Part 1", which reached #14 on the Billboard R&B chart and #29 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart.〔 The B-side of the single was "The Jam – Part 2".〔 That same year, Gregg put out another instrumental single titled "Potato Peeler", which only reached #89 on the Billboard's Hot 100, but became well known for containing the first ever known pinch harmonic to be in a song. Guitarist Roy Buchanan crafted the technique. The song bears a strong resemblance to another instrumental record, "The Hunch" performed by The Bobby Peterson Quintet, which was released 3 years earlier in 1959. In 1963, he put out an album, released on Epic Records, called ''Let's Stomp and Wild Weekend''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://theband.hiof.no/band_members/bobby_gregg.html )〕 In 1964 and 1965, he released the singles "Any Number Can Win", "MacDougal Street", "It's Good to Me" and "Charly Ba-Ba".〔 He also acted as a record producer at this time, producing songs by Sun Ra, Erma Franklin, Richard "Popcorn" Wylie and Frank Hunter.〔〔 He sometimes played the drums on the records he produced.〔〔
