John Henry „Jabo“ Starks, born October 26, 1938 – Starks died on May 1, 2018, at his home in Mobile, Alabama, at the age of 798 ) was an American funk and blues drummer 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, Talkin loud and sayin’Ä nothing. He also backed many of the artists produced or managed by Brown, most notably Lyn Collins, The J. B.’s, and Bobby Byrd. Along with his colleague Stubblefield, Starks ranks as one of the most sampled drummers on contemporary hip hop and R&B recordings.
In his long career, Starks played with a number of major figures of the blues, including Bobby Bland and B.B. King. Starks appeared on some of Bland’s most successful records, among them I Pity the Fool (1961), Turn on Your Love Light and Stormy Monday Blues. With Stubblefield, he recorded an instructional video.
Starks lived in Mobile, Alabama and performed in Grayton Beach, Florida. When not touring or recording, he performed five nights a week at the Picolo Restaurant and Red Bar, a local restaurant.
On December 22, 2007, Starks, Stubblefield, and Bootsy Collins performed in Covington, Kentucky for the first tribute concert remembering James Brown.

Clyde Austin Stubblefield born April 18, 1943 – February 18, 2017, was an American drummer best known for his work with James Brown. A self-taught musician, he was influenced by the sound of natural rhythms around him. His drum patterns on Brown’s recordings are considered funk standards. He recorded and toured with Brown for six years and settled in Madison, Wisconsin, where he was a staple of the local music scene. Often uncredited, samples of his drum patterns were heavily used in hip hop music. He was the recipient of an honorary doctorate in fine arts.
In 1965 he joined James Brown’s band. Over the next six years the band had two drummers, Stubblefield and John „Jabo“ Starks who had joined the band two weeks earlier. Starks‘ style was influenced by the church music he grew up with in Mobile, Alabama
.
The two drummers had no formal training. According to Stubblefield, „We just played what we wanted to play (…) We just put down what we think it should be.“ The two „created the grooves on many of Brown’s biggest hits and laid the foundation for modern funk drumming in the process.“
.
Stubblefield’s recordings with James Brown are considered to be some of the standard-bearers for funk drumming, including the singles Cold Sweat, There Was A Time, I Got The Feelin, Say It Loud – I’m Black And I’m Proud, Ain’t It Funky Now, Mother Popcorn, Get Up Get Into Get Involved, and the album Sex Machine
.
His rhythm pattern on James Brown’s Funky Drummer is among the world’s most sampled musical segments. It has been used for decades by hip-hop groups and rappers such as Public Enemy, Run-DMC, Raekwon, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, and Prince, and has also been used in other genres. Though the sole creator of his patterns, Stubblefield was not credited for the use of the samples
