A Legend at the Red Bar in Grayton Beach

In Memorium: John Henry “Jabo” Starks (October 26, 1937 – May 1, 2018) anchored the Red Bar Jazz Band for many years. He was our beloved American funk and blues drummer. He was best known for playing with James Brown. Starks played on many of Brown’s biggest hits, either as the sole drummer or in tandem with Clyde Stubblefield, including “The Payback”, “Sex Machine”, “Super Bad”, and “Talking Loud and Saying Nothing”. He also backed many of the artists produced or managed by Brown, most notably Lyn Collins, The JBs, and Bobby Byrd.
