Both of his cd's I bought when they first came out. And I discovered I had heard his great playing on Al jarreau and Anits Baker albums in 86
I had the pleasure to meet Ricky while on tour with Phil Collins. The two of us had a nice Italian dinner in Stuttgart/Germany. Ricky was such a sweet person and an incredible drummer very dedicated musician. I miss him. RIP Ricky never forgotten.
Loved his work with Steely Dan. He's from my hometown in Detroit. RIP.
