Biography

Showing the Discogs bio

American drummer, born in 1954 and died 8 June 1987 when he fell to his death from a 17th-floor hotel window in New York.
In the 1980s Yogi was the go-to guy for hundreds of TV commercials, as well as recordings by Diana Ross, Stephanie Mills, Gladys Knight, Cheryl Lynn, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, Grover Washington Jr., The Alessi Brothers, Ashford & Simpson, and the late Luther Vandross. But Yogi's versatile playing skills went way beyond R&B.
