Cesario Gurciullo was born in Siricusa, Sicily in 1924. At some point he came to the US and changed his name to Gary Chester.

Gary Chester supposedly logged over 15,000 studio sessions over three decades. Gary plays on:

"Save the Last Dance for Me", The Drifters, 1960
"Will You Love Me Tomorrow", The Shirelles, 1961
"Twist and Shout"", The Isley Brothers, 1962
"My Boyfriend's Back", The Angels, 1963
"On Broadway", The Drifters, 1963
"Remember (Walking in the Sand)", The Shangri-Las, 1964
"Walk On By", Dionne Warwick, 1964
"Brown Eyed Girl", Van Morrison, 1967
"Sugar Sugar", The Archies, 1969

I never knew the name of the guy who plays one of my all-time favorite rock and roll drum parts:

Gene Pitney - "It Hurts To Be In Love"
