Tribute to Jim Gordon, featuring Sheldon Zoldan

  • Résumé

  • Jim Gordon was a brilliant and successful drummer who played with some of the biggest names in music. He also had a tragic life.

    Longtime writer/editor Sheldon Zoldan wrote this tribute to Gordon, who received a writing credit for "Layla," one of Eric Clapton's most popular songs. This is one of 44 short yet illuminating episodes about significant figures in the music industry who passed away in 2023.

    Sheldon also writes Song of the Day, a music-related story sent daily to an email list of subscribers. All of those stories and these tributes include links to the featured songs. Here, you can link to “Layla" on YouTube.

    To get on the Song of the Day subscriber list, email shzoldan@comcast.net with the subject line ADD ME TO SOTD.

    If you want to learn more about Gordon, you can check out Joel Selvin's book, "Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon," published in 2024.

    Audio engineer Mike Villegas (who’s also a musician) and I are publishing all 44 tributes in the coming weeks. Hope you find them as intriguing as I do.

    This is Kate Jones. Thank you for listening to the show!
