I love John “Jabo” Starks ... a super, warm, giant of a man... his motto: “I can’t be you... and you can’t be me.”
Drummer John “Jabo” Starks ... “Make it Funky”, “Sex Machine” and “Super Bad” with Mr. Brown; “Turn on Your Love Light” and “Stormy Monday” with Bobby Blue Bland; and dozens of recordings with B.B. King.
