| - Born July 14 1945, Los Angeles, CaliforniaGordon began as a professional drummer with the Everly Brothers in 1963 and was a popular session drummer in Los Angeles, recording with Mason Williams on the hit %22Classical Gas%22, %22Pet Sounds%22 with The Beach Boys, %22Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers%22 and %22The Notorious Byrd Brothers%22 with The Byrds in 1968.Gordon became widely known for his drumming skills in Clapton's 'super-band' Derek & The Dominoes and co-writing the hit single %22Layla%22 with Clapton, which was taken from the 1970 double album. He also laid down some notable tracks in 1970 on Dave Mason's album %22Alone Together%22 and worked with Dr. John on %22Sun, Moon & Herbs%22 in 1971. He was also the highly-acclaimed drummer for Frank Zappa, touring on the Grand and Petite Wazoo concerts through 1972 and featured in Zappa bands on the albums %22Apostrophe (')%22 in 1974 with Jeff Beck, %22Imaginary Diseases%22 in 2006* and %22Wazoo%22 in 2007*. A 1973 version of The Shadows hit %22Apache%22 by the Incredible Bongo Band features a long percussion break by Gordon that has been sampled countless times on rap, dance and hip-hop releases. During 1973 Gordon became the drummer for the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band.However, Gordon had progressively led a troubled life since the late 1970's, not only hearing voices in his head, but also indulging heavily in alcohol and recreational drug-use. Much to Zappa's displeasure Gordon was busted for drugs prior to a Wazoo concert and had to be replaced at the last minute. His schizophrenic condition remained undiagnosed by consultants. Tragically, on June 3rd 1983, he killed his mother with a hammer- believing her to be some form of devil taking over his life. Gordon was sentenced to second-degree murder and given sixteen years to life in San Luis Obispo, Atascadero State Hospital (ASH) in Atascadero, and remains incarcerated in the State Medical Corrections Facility in Vacaville, USA.*Recorded prior to Gordon's incarceration & susequently released after Zappa's death.
