The most recorded drummer in history!!!! 

After attending music camps throughout junior and senior high school, John chose to attend Berklee College of music in Boston, MA. While touring with his own band in early 1978, John got his break. Rufus & Chaka Khan came into the club where he was playing and within a few weeks John had moved to Los Angeles to finish the 1978 Rufus world tour. Later that year “JR” was introduced to Quincy Jones and soon after began recording “Off The Wall” for Michael Jackson.

Every household has a record that “JR” has played on, here’s just some of the tunes he has to his name:

Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough, Rock With You, The Way You Make Me Feel, Smooth Criminal (Artist: Michael Jackson).

Dancing On The Ceiling, We Are The World, All Night Long (Artist: Lionel Richie)

Express Yourself (Artist: Madonna)

Higher Love (Artist: Steve Winwood)

Hold On (Artist: Wilson Phillips)

In 1983 “JR” won a Grammy with Rufus and Chaka Khan for “Ain’t Nobody”. A groove that’s had drummers drooling for years! He has a huge list of motion picture credits to his name too as well as two solo CDs, Funkshui (2004) and Platinum (2010) on his own label, Homecourt Records. And in 2005 he was inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Music Association Hall of Fame.
