Was lucky enough to meet him and he was a delight! sat and chatted for a couple of hours. Great drummer and a great man.
From Keith Jones Christian session drummer in the North Devon area for many years, now retired to Bude Cornwall. Enjoyed reading your book Clem from a top top player, with so many hits you have been on. The book was a good read. You have been well blessed with your life's work. Take care, thanks for the sound track to our lives over these many years. May God Bless you and your family each day. Shalom to you all. God Bless, take care (K.J.). Like you recorded with folk musicians, rock and pop musician writers, recorded with female singers with jazz and Christian groups as well and with various members of Hawkwind.

"I`m not a musician - I`m a drummer!" - what a lovely character! Clem Cattini played on 42 Nr 1 Hits in the UK, amongst them Rock`n`Roll classics like "Shakin`all over", "Telstar", "The Sun ain`t gonna shine anymore" and "Something in the Air". In the end Clem enjoyed session work more than being constantly on the road. Became part of the inner circle of session cracks along with guitarrists "Big" Jim Sullivan and "Little" Jimmy Page; John Paul Jones on bass and drummers Bobby Graham and Tony Meehan.

ginny white Thanks for your comment. Please SUBSCRIBE to my channel for more great videos.
I’d forgotten that “Save Your Love” was one of the songs Clem played on. Renato was such a lovely bloke, he wanted to buy Aston Villa FC at one point.

@@destongTV Will do, Des, great stuff.
I'd love to see an interview with Polly Brown, a very underrated talent from yesteryear.
Legend.
Bobby Graham has nothing but good things to say about Clem and Bobby had to learn how to read as well and as someone who use to be able to read music very well and let it slide kids if you can do it DO IT
He did fantastic work on Hurdy Gurdy Man with Donovan.
what is the name of Clems book
My Life, Through The Eye Of A Tornado
@@destongTV thanks he brings up a point i have heard from a couple of people who played for Motown about not know the names of songs when they were playing them or the titles got changed later on. he was blessed having two drum kit. reading Bobbys book-that was insane what he used to go through going from one gig to another and having to set up his own drums. I remember Hal Blaine finally hired someone to do his for him
