While his name may not sound familiar to those of us without extensive music knowledge, Clyde Stubblefield was one of the most influential drummers of all time. He worked extensively with James Brown, and his drum patterns have been heavily sampled, particularly in hip hop. Having survived cancer in 2000, Stubblefield died in February 2017 from kidney failure.
