Happy birthday to the late Colin Flooks (December 29, 1947), better known as Cozy Powell, hard-working British drummer. Cozy played with The Jeff Beck Group, Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group, Whitesnake, Emerson, Lake & Powell, Black Sabbath, Brian May, and many others.

Cozy Powell died on April 5, 1998 following a car crash while driving his Saab 9000 at 104 mph in bad weather on the M4 motorway near Bristol. He was talking to his girlfriend on his mobile phone, not wearing a seatbelt and over the drink-drive limit.

Here's Cozy playing drums with a 9 year old kid on a TV show in the 70's:
