Cozy Cole
William Randolph "Cozy" Cole (October 17, 1909 – January 9, 1981) was an American jazz drummer who scored a #1 Cashbox magazine hit with the songs "Topsy I" and "Topsy II". "Topsy II" peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at #1 on the R&B chart. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. The track peaked at #29 in the UK Singles Chart in 1958. The recording contained a lengthy drum solo, and was one of the few drum solo recordings that ever made the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The single was issued on the tiny Brooklyn-based Love Records label. Cole also struck the Hot 100 with "Turvy II", which made it as high as #36 in the chart for the week ending January 4, 1959.
