Colin Flooks , znamy ako Cozy Powell (* 29. december 1947 , Cirencester , Anglicko ? † 5. april 1998 ) bol britsky rockovy bubenik. ^[1]

Powell za?al svoju hudobnu karieru v skupine The Sorcerers v roku 1965 . V roku 1971 vstupil do Jeff Beck Group s ktorou nahral dva albumy , potom hral solovo a zalo?il skupinu Bedlam . V roku 1973 sa jeho solovy singel Dance With The Devil umiestnil na tre?om mieste v britskom rebri?ku hitov. V nasledujucom roku sa Cozy preslavil, ke? hral na?ivo v televizii a urobil rekord ako najrychlej?ie hrajuci bubenik. U?inkoval aj v televiznom programe BBC pre deti s nazvom Record Breakers.

V roku 1976 sa stal ?lenom skupiny Rainbow Ritchieho Blackmorea . Z jeho u?inkovania v skupine je najpamatnej?im 16. august 1980 , kedy sa Rainbow preslavili na historicky prvom koncerte Monsters of Rock v Castle Donington v Anglicku . Nasledovala uspe?na LP Down to Earth z ktorej pochadzaju single Since You've Been Gone a All Night Long .

So spevakom Grahamom Bonnetom neskor opustil Rainbow, aby za?ali prace na novom Bonnetovom projekte Bonnet & the Hooligans . Ich spolo?nym najvyznamnej?im singlom bol Night Games ( 1981 ).

Powell vystupoval s mnohymi znamymi skupinami - Michael Schenker Group od 1981 do 1982 , Whitesnake 1982  – 1984 , potom s Keithom Emersonom a Gregom Lakeom v roku 1986 a nakoniec so skupinou Black Sabbath v rokoch 1989  – 1991 a 1993  – 1995 .

Spolu s Neilom Murrayom (byvalym ?lenom Cozy Powell`s Hammer , Whitesnake a Black Sabbath) sa stal ?lenom Brian May Bandu a u?inkoval na albumoch Back To The Light a Another World . Na jese? 1998 mali naplanovane spolo?ne turne.

Cozy Powell zomrel 5. maja 1998 , na nasledky dopravnej nehody na dia?nici M4 pri Bristole , ke? viedol svoje auto Saab 9000 v nepriaznivom po?asi. Pred nehodou nahraval v ?tudiu so skupinou Fleetwood Mac .

U?inkoval ako bubenik na najmenej 66 albumoch. Mal ve?ky vplyv na hru mnohych rockovych bubenikov a jeho pred?asny odchod je ve?kou stratou pre rockovu hudbu.

V oktobri 2005 sa objavil na trhu novy album s Cozy Powellom. Tony Martin , byvaly spevak Black Sabbath, vydal ?tudiovy album Scream , na ktorom pou?il hudobnu nahravku s Powellom, ktora pochadzala z roku 1992 . Obaja hudobnici boli vtedy v skupine Hammer a Cozy mu ju dal na ? ?al?ie pou?itie “. Existuje e?te ?al?ich devatnas? Powellovych in?trumentalnych nahravok, ktore mo?u by? v buducnosti pou?ite.
