Drummer Bruce Rowland, whose prolific career included session work for a long list of artists as well as stints with Fairport Convention and the Grease Band, has died at the age of 74.

He would become known as one of the most imaginative and distinctive interpretative singers of his generation.

He had a voice like he'd gargled razor blades and washed it down with hot lava. John Belushi parodied him, right next to him. He sang the song while Kim Basinger did the ultimate striptease in "9 1/2 weeks." Joe Cocker has passed away.
