Победитель премии Грэмми, он был одним из наиболее востребованных сессионных барабанщиков в конце 1960-х, 1970-х годах, делая записи альбомов со многими известными музыкантами того времени, в частности был барабанщиком блюз-роковой супергруппы Derek & The Dominos.
Прогрессирующая шизофрения вынудила Гордона в начале 1980-х оставить музыку. А в 1983 году случилась трагедия: он убил свою мать, и после этого был приговорён к шестнадцати годам тюремного заключения.
