Clyde Stubblefield was Brown's drummer for at least two years (he joined the band in early 1968 and "Funky Drummer" was recorded 69/11/20). If he really "never saw a pennny," wasn't he a fool to stay with the band for as long as he did? I have serious doubts about the veracity of your claim. Unless you can provide documentation, I'll assume it has no merit. C.
