According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which inducted him in 2000, Blaine played on 40 No. 1 singles. In 2015, Terry Gross estimated that Blaine had appeared on approximately 8,000 records.And Blaine himself told us in 2000 that over his career heād collected no fewer than 263 gold or platinum plaques ā and āmade literally a couple of million bucks.ā But the most impressive of Blaineās many numbers might be ā¦ six. Thatās how many times Blaineās playing helped a song win record of the year at the Grammys between 1966 and 1971 ā a remarkable stretch that illustrates just how in demand the drummer was by popās elite in those days.
