Ritchie Blackmore once said, "You can't get any better than Cozy, you
know. He's always up there on stage going crazy, he always pushes me on
when I look round. He always gives me that incentive to play because
Cozy won't let anybody take it easy." He wasn't wrong. Cozy Powell was a
talented, reliable and versatile drummer. A drummer of such calibre that
he played with Jeff Beck, Rainbow, Michael Schenker, Whitesnake, Emerson
and Lake, Black Sabbath and Brian May as well as being a hugely
in-demand session player. But before all that he initially came to
prominence with three Mickie Most produced top twenty singles under his
own name. An extraordinary feat for an instrumentalist, and a drummer at
that. Cozy Powell's career as a musician is a story that needs to be
told. Author Laura Shenton MA LLCM DipRSL has a Masters degree in music
and provides an insightful angle on Cozy Powell's abilities along with
detailed research that presents Powell's career in all its glory.
