HENDRIX Drummer BUDDY MILES Dies At 60 - Feb. 27, 2008

Jonathan Cohen of Billboard.com reports: Buddy Miles, who co-founded and played drums in BAND OF GYPSYS with Jimi Hendrix, passed away yesterday (Feb. 26) in Austin, Texas, at the age of 60. A cause of death has yet to be announced.

Miles was born Sept. 5, 1947, in Omaha, Neb., and was introduced to music at a young age by his father, who played in a band called the BEBOPS. As a young man he also played with WILSON PICKETT, the DELFONICS and the INK SPOTS.

I loved Band of Gypsy's, moreso than anything else Hendrix had done.
Miles, Cox & Jimi were just so in the pocket & had such chemistry.

"Who Knows" still makes the fur rise, just the way they locked in together.

Power to soul....my God, talk about groove.

Rest in Peace, Buddy.

Saw him live a couple of years back...very nice guy, but he was VERY heavy, I wouldn't doubt heart problems as a result of his weight will probably be the cause.

Very sad news, his solo material was OUTSTANDING.
