random notes
aka: paul nelson humphrey
born: oct 10, 1935 in detroit, mi
a longtime session drummer who never emerged as a star in jazz circles, paul humphrey and his cool aid chemists had a short stay in the limelight when his single "cool aid" made it into the r&b top 20 in 1971. humphrey and his group even made an appearance on american bandstand, as the song stayed on the charts 11 weeks and cracked the pop top 40. but it was back to obscurity when "funky l.a." stalled at 45. humphrey's list of credits included sessions with wes montgomery, les mccann, kai winding, charles mingus, lee konitz, and gene ammons, among others, in the '60s. -- ron wynn

it looks as if paul played with shuggie otis for bob
dylan's band in '86. i found this tape listed in a dylan tape trading site:
marriot hotel- providence, ri 07/10/86
the songs:
you win again, i'm a king bee, let the good times roll, earth angel,
goodnightsweetheart.
a rather rough amateur recording, compromised by a good bit of rumble and tape
hiss. etta james shares vocals, paul humphrey on drums, jack mcduff on the
organ, shuggie otis on guitar, and
richard reid on bass. 60 min.

if you watch old reruns of the lawrence welk tv show, you will occassionally see
paul humphrey playing the drums. this has to make him one of the more diverse
figures in the history of music.

i heard an interview with the dust brothers about the producing of beck's album
"odelay!" and they mentioned paul humphrey & the cool aid chemists
as one of the major inspirations for the sounds of that album. you can hear the
interview at http://www.liveconcerts.com/.
