I saw a brilliant bio-pic about Biggie Smalls a few years ago called "notorious" which documented his life right from his childhood through to his murder...
Well worth watching IMO.

Less than you might think. I respect his solo work and with Brownie McGhee but it's a bit primitive for me.

Michael Hossack, died this day in 2012, at 65 years of age, from cancer. He signed up as one of the Doobie Brothers' dual drummers/percussionists around 1971. He left them after recording their second, third and fourth albums and was later asked to participate in their 1987 tour - a series of benefit concerts for Vietnam vets, which he did. The tour was so successful that the band re-formed after its own five year hiatus, and Michael stayed on with them until he had to quit in 2010 due to his illness.
