That’s ok, we can all be wrong at times.

Err, are we talking about the same Tony Allen?

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/may/03/tony-allen-obituary

Creator of the beat behind afrobeat which in turn is behind most of modern dance / hip-hop? The guy Brian Eno said was possibly the greatest drummer ever?

No idea why Ringo comes into it, but he gets a lot of undue stick

 

[Rui_CostCo]

Clem Burke possibly the hardest working drummer in music speaks very highly of Ringo , but not as highly as Keith Moon

 

[Tony Towner]

Doesn't it come from the apothecarial John Lennon Joke?
