Does anyone know what happened to Sandy?

Anyone here hip to Cold Blood?
Just received 2 of their LPs. Sandy McKee was the drummer. He had a major
Clyde Stubblefield thing going on, nice chops, played the heck out of the
band, and had his own thing going on.
Can't find much on him in any of the web searches I've done.
Over to you,

Great to hear all this talk about Cold Blood. I loved them from the beginning -- since 'Thriller.' And I've featured Sandy and Cold Blood four times on my radio show, beginning in 2005. Cold Blood is even scheduled for the next edition of Ain't That a Groove as well. But I've never found a comprehensive bio (or discography) for Sandy anywhere on the web. Because Sandy and Cold Blood seem to be enjoying 'a revival' I'll try chatting again with their PR guy and some original members of the band.

Sandy was a BAD drummer. He also sung too.I can't stay I believe. I play keyboards and our group in Seattle was Acapulco Gold.We played all their songs in the 1970s

Sandy was a good friend of my older brother who was also a drummer. He spent holidays at our house and he was the funniest man I know. It was hard to eat cause he kept us all laughing so hard. I miss him so much.

Would love to hear more about Sandy, Cecil as I know him. I am his son Christopher Stoltie.

I was a young kid playing drums in a local Bay Area soul band the Mystic Knights. I was invited to Cold Bloods practice session in a Richmond CA wArehouse. I was thrilled to watch Sandy and the band play. This left a huge impression on me and my playing. I still practice very hard and play along with Sandy on the Cold Blood albums. After 40 years plus of practice, I must say I have the grooves together. I was fortunate to also play with Michael Sassaki the guitar player of CB....Back to Sandy
A great drummer with a fantastic style. Not to many drummers could hang with him .... I found him giving a 30 minute drum lesson on you tube...audio only. Discussing playing live

Hi Christopher,
I knew Sandy, (Cecil) very well. He was my drum teacher on and off for about a decade, starting when I was around 9 or 10.
My email is ***@gmail.com If you'd like email me and I'll give you a call.
best,
Joshua

Hi Josh,
It's been a long time. How do I get a hold of you? You can email me @ ***@hotmail.com

Oh, I LOVE Cold Blood and Sandy Mckee's drumming! Sadly, I understand he passed away in 1995. I was fortunate enough to see Cold Blood live twice with Sandy on drums and once with Gaylord Birch on drums, he of the Thriller album.

Yes most all off them are available on CD. Gaylord Birch was the drummer for Missing My Love from the Thriller Album.

Does anyone know what happened to Sandy?

Yes, I was his wife until he died. When I met Sandy he was playing with a band called "Souvenirs". That was in 1982ish. I met Sandy at the Keystone in Palo Alto. Lots of stories. Anyway tell you more later.
