		Felix's original claim to fame was his work with Clapton, Bruce, and Baker in Cream.
		But besides all the front office work, Pappalardi found plenty of time to rattle the walls with his bass and on the first album he played some great organ and moog.
		Still, to give the devil her due, Collins was given co-writing credit on almost every song Felix wrote and her paintings and photography gave mountain's albums a very unique and beautiful look.

		Felix Pappalardi was most famous as the producer of Cream and the bassist for one of the first American hard rock acts, Mountain; sadly, he's also remembered for the tragic shooting that claimed his life at age 43.
		Pappalardi was born December 20, 1939, in the Bronx and studied classical music at the University of Michigan; upon returning to New York, he was unable to find work as a conductor and soon drifted into the Greenwich Village folk scene.
		However, it was Pappalardi's late-'60s work with the psychedelic blues-rock outfit Cream -- beginning with their second album, Disraeli Gears -- that really established his reputation; Pappalardi sometimes contributed additional instrumentation for his imaginative studio arrangements and he and wife, Gail Collins, co-wrote "Strange Brew" with Eric Clapton.

		The year was 1968 and Pappalardi was involved with producing the future super band CREAM, so ENERGY toured Canada and most of New England.

		Felix had more influence on this recording and seemed to tighten the grip on the West energy level; hence, the big man’s toughness and brashness did not prevail and neither did his sledgehammer guitar.
		Corky Laing’s role as the drummer was certainly as crucial as Pappalardi and West, and Steve Knight was the unsung hero in the background that did a superb job on the keyboards adding the necessary layers of music that helped to perfect the Mountain sound when Pappalardi was delivering his smooth vocal style.
		Laing commented-”We weren’t pretty, Leslie was 350 pounds and Felix was like a moustache with ears.” When the fans get their opportunity to speak there are nothing but accolades for West as being one the greatest rock- blues players of all time.

		Pappalardi was also heavily involved in Cream’s ‘Wheels Of Fire’ and Goodbye’; albums, but the demise of both Cream and The Vagrants meant that Felix and Leslie had time on their hands by the time that West resumed contact.
		Pappalardi was little more than "a tyrant", says the drummer, though Felix’s ruthlessness certainly paid off as the band became tighter by the day.
		Among the reasons that Pappalardi cited for leaving Mountain in 1972 was the damage that the group’s excessive concert volume had inflicted upon his hearing.

	Mountain
		Felix Pappalardi was the 'wimp' in this company, scooping up tiny flowers and weaving them around Leslie's thick rod of power (don't take that too literally, please); nevertheless, frizzed, messy hair and enormous overcoats were a must for him as well.
		Mountain disbanded in 1974, and when Felix Pappalardi died in 1983 (and a famous death it was, too - shot dead by his own wife!!!), all hopes for any subsequent reunions seemed to be quelled, what with Leslie West being a serious druggie and all.
		Felix is gone, and nobody is going to compensate for the essential element he brought with him that made Mountain such a unique group for the early Seventies: psychedelia.

		Felix offered and was accepted to rework the basic recording into something more commercial.
		Ironically, Felix, when installed as producer of the May sessions, was to make good use of these in the rush to record an album in four days.
		The basic harmony is written to suit Felix’s falsetto style, who provides some of the harmony vocals on the chorus, but Eric makes a good fist of it, which is the harbinger of things to come.

		Trouble is, Pappalardi and Smart stay in the background, leaving everything on West's shoulders, and at this point his guitar style is little more than imitation Clapton (the "White Room" clone "Baby I'm Down").
		The creation of guitarist Leslie West and former Cream co-conspirator Felix Pappalardi, Mountain had quickly reached a mass audience with a hard rock formula that recalls both Cream and early Led Zeppelin ("For Yasgur's Farm").
		Pappalardi's wife Gail Collins did the cover artwork and wrote many of the lyrics; years later she shot him to death in a domestic dispute.

		Pappalardi, whose hearing had been damaged by Mountain's excessive in-concert volume, returned to production, while West and Laing teamed up with ex-Cream bassist Jack Bruce under the name West, Bruce and Laing.
		Pappalardi had a slightly more impressive track record, coming from the modern East Coast folk-rock movement (The Youngbloods), before he applied his production skills to Cream.
		In retrospect, its easy to understand why the strange chemistry (pun intended) struck between boogie-loving, Clapton-worshiping guitar hero Leslie West and eclectic bassist and Cream producer Felix Pappalardi was fated to be a short one.

		I can only guess that Felix wanted to highlight Jack’s playing, which he held in the very highest regard.
		Jeff Aarons confirms that Eric is playing the Firebird I and the tonal chanbge I noted above is the result of "hard, crunching picking, more passionate grasping and muting by the left hand, a very slight probable shift of his picking hand toward the bridge.
		Felix plays bass and sounds like Jack, a clear indicator of what was to come.

	Planet Mellotron Album Reviews: C6
		There's some Mellotron strings towards the end of the song that I'd never noticed before, too, from producer and later Mountaineer Felix Pappalardi, although Doing That Scrapyard Thing thing is the track that's usually quoted as being the album's 'Tron highlight.
		Mountain were long washed-up by 1976, and bassist Felix Pappalardi fell in with a Japanese band, Creation.
		Real strings on a couple of tracks, with Pappalardi's 'Tron only cropping up with a few string chords on She's Got Me and a slightly more substantial part on 'Ballad Of A Sad Café, though that would seem to be it.
