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.
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.
He had been involved in a long-standing affair with a younger woman, of which Collins had knowledge; however, a jury supported Collins' claim that the shooting was accidental, occurring while Pappalardi was showing her how to use the gun.

Pappalardi had been working as a producer, mostly with folk acts, before joining Mountain, and had written a number of hits with his wife Gail Collins, including Cream’s “Strange Brew”, which they co-wrote with Eric Clapton.
Pappalardi decided to concentrate more on producing, in part because he was experiencing hearing loss due to the extreme volume at which Mountain played.
Sadly, Pappalardi was killed by Gail Collins on April 17, 1983 in their bedroom by a single shot to the neck.

 DAVE LING - MUSIC JOURNALIST
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.
"Gail was fucked up on drugs, she shot Felix during an argument with a Derringer he’d actually bought for her – but then she said it was an accident," protests West, hard to hide his contempt.

Felix's wife, Gail Collins, also possessed a knack for writing, and collaborated with him on many of Mountain's lyrics, even designing their stage costumes and album covers.
Although Collins would claim that the death was accidental, most believe that it was murder.
But a jury of her peers acquitted Collins of 2nd degree murder, instead convicting her of criminal negligent homicide, which carried a maximum sentence of 4 years, which she received.

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.
Mountain was long defunct but were it not for Collins, Pappalardi might have been with us for Over the Top.
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.

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").
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 again dominated the songwriting, again often working with Gail Collins, who again did the artwork.

 Mountain - Nantucket Sleighride @ Soundbug
Life isn't fair.Cream got all the attention because of their supergroup status.Mountain were formed as a side project by Cream's producer Felix Pappalardi and were always treated like Cream's inferior cousin but I have to say that they were a better band in my opinion.
The songwriting team of Pappalardi and Gail Collins (his wife and lyricist) were at their brilliant best on this album.
Alas, Mountain are always going to be haunted by their tragic end.Gail Collins shot Felix Pappalardi dead in 1982 after a row so unfortunately, that's the end of the genius.He will be sadly missed.I'm sure he would have produced some more amazing work had he lived.

 Mountain platform still suits West fine
By the time Vagrants guitarist West (nee Weinstein) hooked up with Felix Pappalardi to form Mountain in 1969, he had developed a trademark sound that made the band a worthy successor to the British supergroup Cream.
It's a bit of whistling-past-the-graveyard humor, though, in that Pappalardi himself was shot to death in 1983 by his wife and frequent songwriting partner, Gail Collins, who did the intricate artwork on several Mountain album covers.
West holds no illusions that he'd still be making music with Pappalardi today, if not for the bassist's demise.
