He is a highly respected musician who began his transition to becoming a professional drummer playing with Joe Sample and the Crusaders.  Though probably best known for his groundbreaking drumming with Earth, Wind, and Fire; Sonny has performed with a virtual "who's who" in pop and jazz music including Stanley Clarke, David Sanborn, Bette Midler, Al Jarreau, Paula Abdul, Jean-Luc Ponty, and Boz Scaggs. 

We had a great conversation!
