Rick Marotta is a US-based drummer and percussionist who appears on many recordings by leading artists such as Aretha Franklin, Carly Simon, Steely Dan, James Taylor, Paul Simon, John Lennon, Hall & Oates, Stevie Nicks, Wynonna, Roy Orbison, Todd Rundgren, Roberta Flack, Peter Frampton, Quincy Jones, Jackson Browne, Waylon Jennings, Randy Newman, Peter Gabriel, Kenny G., The Jacksons, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt and many others.
Marotta has composed music for the TV show, Everybody Loves Raymond. His brother, Jerry, is also a noted drummer and percussionist, and has recorded and toured with Peter Gabriel.
Marotta also spent a year in the early 70's as drummer for his own group; the short lived Brethren. Tom Cosgrove sang and played lead, Stu Woods played bass (he would later appear on Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything? album), and Mike Garson played keyboards. They released two albums; the first was just called Brethren and was mildly successful. The second, released as the band was crumbling is almost impossible to find. The band had a unique sound, a mixture of rock & country, with traces of jazz, and a bit of influence from Dr. John, who wrote the album notes and wrote a song ("Loop Garoo") for them.
Hot lover, turn up the heat
I want your sugar, girl your love tastes so sweet
I feel a fire burnin’ under me
I’ve got a hunger that you love’s gotta feed
You make me sweat, you turn me ’round
You get me up, you never let me down
You make me rock hard, baby all night
Love’s like a glove and it fits just rights
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight
Come on baby, let’s rock hard, baby all night
I’m under a physical spell
I’m a prisoner and your love is my cell
Once I get started I can’t stop
I can’t cool down ’cause this love is so hot
You make me sweat, you turn me ’round
You get me up, you never let me down
You make me rock hard, baby all night
Love’s like a glove and it fits just right
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight
Come on baby, let’s rock hard, baby all night
You make me sweat, you turn me ’round
You get me up, you never let me down
You make me rock hard, baby all night
Love’s like a glove and it fits just right
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight
Come on baby, let’s rock hard, baby let’s
Rock hard, baby all night
Love’s like a glove and it fits just right
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight
Come on baby, let’s rock hard, baby all night
All night, all night, yeah, all night, hey
You make me rock hard, baby all night
Love’s like a glove and it fits just right
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight
Come on baby, let’s rock hard, baby let’s
Rock hard, baby all night
