  • 1947 Buddy Miles, American rock drummer (The Electric Flag), born in Omaha, Nebraska (d. 2008)


From the college of rock and roll knowledge fb page:

George Allen Miles, Jr. would have been celebrating his 72nd birthday today. You will know him better as Buddy Miles. He was a founding member of The Electric Flag, a member of Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsys, founder and leader of The Buddy Miles Express and later, the Buddy Miles Band. In addition to Jimi Hendrix, Miles played and recorded with Carlos Santana, Mike Bloomfield, and others.

Buddy was an incredible drummer and image on stage. But did you also know that he sang lead vocals on the popular "California Raisins" claymation TV commercials and recorded two California Raisins R&B albums.

We lost Buddy on Feb. 26, 2008.

Happy Birthday Buddy. Thanks for the music.
