Clyde Stubblefield never got paid!

Clyde Stubblefield is the drummer featured on "Funky Drummer," a 1970 single by James Brown whose 20-second drum solo is the most sampled beat in the world!

And he never got paid!
Say what? That's right folks, he got studio wages and never saw a cent of royalties. He's 67 now, living a modest life in Madison, Wisconsin, and wondering what the heck happened. This living legend shaped the face of popular music and hip hop for decades. This amazing should-a-been but never-was rich&famous musician remains obscure and forgotten.

How is this possible?! What can we do?
Let him know that we heard his funky beats, that we loved every remix (even Sinead O'Connors...ok, maybe not hers), that we care what he did, and that he will finally get paid. It's easy: Give 'em a buck! http://www.nevergotpaid.com/
