You Can Play Funky Clav, Too!
(via Stevie Wonder - Superstition (1972)
Bobby Ogdin (Born 1945) joined the TCB Band in early 1977, replacing David Briggs on clavinet. His solo was filmed for the television special, Elvis in Concert, but not used in the final edit.
New musicians were afforded no stage rehearsal time and were given cassette tapes to familiarise themselves with the setlist. The band were also not involved with soundchecks, everything was set up for them in advance by the road crew.
He wrote some notes and cue cards for his first show, but was so blinded by the spotlights he was unable to read them. When Elvis arrived onstage, he made a point of shaking Ogdin's hand to welcome him to the group.
On August 16th, 1977, members of the touring band were enroute to Portland, Maine, by private aircraft. The plane had departed Los Angeles with scheduled pickups in Las Vegas and then Nashville, where Bobby Ogdin and some other members of the touring party were waiting. Upon notification of Elvis' death, the flight was cancelled and the plane landed in Pueblo, Colorado.
According to Bobby Ogdin's interview with The Spa Guy, news of Elvis' death reached them through the private airport's traffic controller, and following a phone call to Colonel Parker by producer Felton Jarvis, the 'Act of God' clause was invoked, meaning all their contracts were voided then and there. They were simply told, ‘everything is cancelled, go home’; their pay was stopped, and they were left to their own devices.
