Hal Blaine
Hal Blaine can mug like Harpo, quip like Miltie and play the drums like nobody's business. As a super-session drummer, he recorded "Strangers in the Night" with Frank Sinatra, "Suspicious Minds" with Elvis Presley and "Be My Baby" for Phil Spector. If you've heard the Beach Boys' "I Get Around," Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" or John Denver's "Annie's Song," you've heard Hal. And if you've seen Presley's Blue Hawaii, Disney's Babes in Toyland or Jerry Lewis' The Nutty Professor, you might have even seen him. Born Harold Simon Belsky to Jewish immigrant parents some 60-odd years ago, he cast his fate to the skins at an early age and established an unparalleled legacy. His awards alone could literally fill a room -- 362 gold records, eight "Record of the Year" awards (seven consecutively), 35,000 tracks recorded, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and countless other achievements noted in the record books. His legendary status as "keeper of the beat" spans nearly four decades and has earned him the respect of his fans and peers, who have bestowed on him the titles "World's Most Recorded Musician" and "World's Greatest Drummer." Hal's musical presence has influenced not only legions of musicians, engineers, producers and record industry moguls; he has literally taught us all to tap our feet in time and with style.
