Cozy Cole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cozy Cole (October 19, 1909 – January 31, 1981) is a well known jazz drummer who had a #1 hit with the song "Topsy Part 2". The song was a drum solo, and one of the few drum solo recordings that ever made the popular Billboard top 100 (1958) charts.
He is cited as an influence by many contemporary rock drummers, including Cozy Powell, who admiringly named himself after Cole.
