In July 2009, funk drumming legend, Clyde Stubblefield, whose sampled beats from his innovative recordings with James Brown have shaped the sound of hip-hop and drum & bass music, suffered kidney failure and began weekly dialysis treatment. In July 2010, The Coalition for Clyde Stubblefield - an artist & industry association of Clyde's supporters - was founded by drummers Stanton Moore, Johnny Rabb and David Stanoch to spread word of Clyde's situation and new avenues being created expressly for donating financial support directly to him. Clyde continues to work and perform regularly while dealing with the stress his kidney dialysis treatments demand. We thank you for helping Clyde and his family find some relief as he braves this journey so they may feel some of YOUR soulfulness as we come together to help out a brother, an inspiration, our friend.
Remember, no contribution is too small and every penny makes a difference. JOIN THE COALITION & SPREAD THE WORD!"
Best wishes to the legend Clyde Stubblefield.
