Earl Cyril Palmer was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. As a member of Dave Bartholomew’s band, he played drums on the first Fats Domino session in 1949. He soon became the first – and sometimes only – call drummer for New Orleans R&B record dates, recording with a variety of artists that included Little Richard, Smiley Lewis, Bobby Mitchell, the Spiders and Shirley & Lee, and he is generally credited with bringing the New Orleans street beat into the studio. He moved to Los Angeles in 1957 and continued to be a top studio drummer for many years.
