provided the “solid stickwork and feverish backbeat” that laid the foundations for rock and roll drumming; his distinctive style was notable on such recordings as Little Richard's “Tutti Frutti,” the Righteous Brothers' “You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin',” Fats Domino's “The Fat Man,” Smiley Lewis's “I Hear You Knockin',” Sam Cooke's “You Send Me,” and Ike and Tina Turner's “River Deep, Mountain High.” Palmer's credits extended to thousands of session recordings, and he worked with such varied artists as Bonnie Raitt, Ringo Starr, the Monkees, Neil Young, and Frank Sinatra. Palmer, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000, was one of the few sidemen to earn the honour.
