Jim Gordon has Passed On...


He was never released from custody after murdering his mother. He'll be remembered best for being the drummer with Derek and the Dominos, but he played with the Byrds, Beach Boys and others. I know that you're wearing black today @bdp24. Sad ending.

Great rock drummer. Superb style. Knew when and when not to hit the skins.  Sad story about the illness that caused his mother's death and put him away for life. He will be sadly missed. RIP Jim.

Wow, what a double edged sword this “obituary” has turned out to be. I must say I never knew anything about his life apart from music. Still, all I can say is I hope he earned salvation with time served. And that his name always made me so happy when included in the album credits. He had a distinct drumming “flavor” that added so much to the songs he sat in on.

Gods Grace Jim, thanks for the music
