One more from Ronnie. This Billy Joel cover. And not too shabby of a backing band, either.
Gary Brooker and Alan White both played on this one.
Jim Stewart, co-owner of STAX records in Memphis, where so many great records were issued, especially in the mid to late '60s.

I believe this was the first big record from this label:
Jim Stewart, Unlikely Entrepreneur of Soul Music, Dies at 92 (Published 2022)
His background was in country music. But Stax, the label he founded with his sister, achieved a level of success with Black artists that rivaled Motown’s.

Midway through the recording of Free For All Derek St. Holmes quit working with Ted Nugent so Meat Loaf was brought in for vocals on 4-5 songs
C.W. McCall playing our favorite sing-a-long "suite" party song when we lived in the dorms at ISU.
@flynnhicks03 mentioned the brilliant drummer Darren Eric Henry, AKA D.H. Peligro
I was fortunate enough to see DK a few years ago albeit w/o Jello Biafra. With most bands I'd pass if an integral member weren't there, but Peligro and East Bay Ray are so good and so unique that I had to see them live. They were fantastic. And they did my favorite DK tune...
RIP D.H. Peligro

Don't know if we've had a reference yet (I haven't fully caught up with the thread since last night)
Taylor Hawkins (1972-2022)
Best known as drummer for Foo Fighters … but he was prolific in other ways — solo work, numerous bands/“supergroups” & involved as session/touring musician (such as w/ Alanis Morissette).
Tip of iceberg:
Wrote or co-wrote all songs on Taylor Hawkins & The Coattail Riders (this is first of 3 albums the group released) .. Drums & vocals. It does have a Foo Fighters blueprint sound to it, but ... that isn't a bad thing.
"Louise"
"It's OK Now"
For fun (and an excuse to play this specific song) ... First appearance in a Foo Fighters music video (although song was recorded prior to his joining the group)

Bill Pitman, Wrecking Crew Guitarist, Dies at 102
"In 1965, when Columbia Records was cutting the Byrds’ debut album, the label used session musicians from The Wrecking Crew including drummer Hal Blaine, keyboard player Leon Russell, and Pitman, among others, to accompany Roger McGuinn’s 12-string Rickenbacker guitar on “Mr. Tambourine Man.” The single reached #1 on the Hot 100."
"Pitman subsequently played his Danelectro guitar on scores of recordings including such hits as the Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations” and Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’.” He also performed music for the TV series The Wild Wild West for five years. “That was fun because I really got to play the instrument the way I envisioned when I bought it,” he said."
