Long live Nicky Hopkins.

I was quite impressed a few years back when someone here on RO pointed out to me Hopkin's resume as a session man. One of the best in the business he was.
(I was also impressed with Glen Campbell's resume as a session man at about the same time I was googling around...)

Ouch!

Yeah, I was really surprised when I read that he was a Scientologist.

He really WAS rock & roll. Like drummer Hal Blaine, he played on more sessions than you could shake a stick at.

Amazing man, and very much missed. Cry
