Who was the drummer on this track, and what is acknowledged as his major contribution to popular music.

Spoiler: show

That would be Earl Young who went on to found The Trammps who had a hit with Disco Inferno!!

I have just had a look at a £10 note under UV light and apart from the general tinge of purple in the ink I can't really see anything!! I did notice the indentations on the top left corner which may be for a reason to do with the RNIB but other than that nothing to report!!

Either you've got a fake note or it'll be down to the quality of the UV source and the wavelengths it's creating. We've got a proper 'black light' here and even then the notes have to be held less than 6" away for a decent effect.

Yes, that's the bloke. I watched a programme on BBC 4 about dance music, not the valeta or the foxtrot, but disco, house, trance etc sort of stuff folk head to Ibiza for, and all can be traced back to Earl and his drumming on that track. From wiki

Young is seen as the inventor of the disco style of rock drumming (in Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes's "The Love I Lost" from 1973), and is often credited with popularizing four-on-the-floor bass drum beats, and as being the first drummer to make extensive and distinctive use of the hi-hat cymbal throughout the playing time of an R&B song. This led to DJs favouring his recordings because they could hear the cymbal quite easily in their headphones as they "cued up" records to be mixed

Dreadful, particularly the nineties one, the perpetrator of which I was discussing with my son last night, he hadn't heard of Heardle and probably just as well considering the trash they serve up.
