Information on artist: Joe Vitale

[Joe20697]

HI all...Looking for information on drummer and percussionist: Joe Vitale. He was drummer in Humble Pie (so I thought) but didn't see him listed on songfacts when I looked it up. Also, he played on Live tour with Eagles and with Joe Walsh. Why is there no information about him and why isn't he listed in any catagories here? Anyone have any info on his Biography, were is he originally from, who else has he played with and what is he doing now? He also played with Crosby, Stills and Nash on the Dark Star album. Heard he was originally from New Jersey and playd with a lot of local bands there. Is it possible there is more than one drummer/percussionist with this name floating around? I appreciate any help. Thanks.
