Will update on Thursday, July 31, 2014
****** Grigsby was in the 11th grade of high school when his Motown career actually began...
He had won the South Carolina state drum competition, which gave him a spot in the back-up
band for Ricky Nelson and the Cascades," Listen To The Rhythm of the Falling Rains". At that
show in a small town in S.C. off of HWY 301 inside an old roller skating rink that still stands
today...were many people and musicians waiting to see Ricky, who ironically was not affiliated
with Motown at all.
After the show, Grigsby was approached by associates of Motown about the possibility of being
one of their drummers. Two weeks later he found himself sitting behind James Brown and the
Famous Flames at the Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, SC. From then on it was history. For the
next 8 years, between tennis tournaments, he was playing with many of the greats, The Four
Tops, Marvin Gaye, Martha & the Vandellas, the Miracles, the Supremes, the Temptations, Jr.
Walker & the All Stars, Major Lance...and the list goes on. At that time he was the only white
drummer they had on board. So, as a result of his bleached out white hair, they called him
'Cotton.'
To Grigsby, Motown is not just music it's passion!
