Remembering the one and only Cozy Powell today. 🕊️
On this day in 1998, rock lost a true powerhouse. Cozy Powell was killed in a car crash near Bristol, England at just 50 years old.
A thunder behind the kit, Cozy left his mark across generations—playing with legends like Jeff Beck, Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group, Gary Moore, Robert Plant, Brian May, Whitesnake, Emerson, Lake & Powell, and Black Sabbath.
With appearances on 60+ albums and a style that inspired countless drummers, his impact still echoes loud.
Turn it up for Cozy today. 🥁🔥

@TheRealJamieKay Oh yes. Used to be a regular Friday lunch. Two of them and a couple of bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale. Back to work afterwards. The good old days.
@allrockmusic Sun King, Across The Universe, Helter Skelter, Flying, Help!, Within You, Without You. I actually also enjoy Revolution #9 as well. Ahead of its time
@20th_Centurygal Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565
Bach rocked harder. Bach rocked first.
Nothing modern heavy metal bands do with electronic amplification rock harder than what these old masters were doing in churches with bellows powered pipe organs 300+ years ago.
