Who was “Chet Forest”?

[Bassline101]

Does anybody have any info about Chet Forest, drummer on “What’s Going On”? This is what I have so far:-
Real name: Chester Filozof
Born 6^th March 1936, Hamtramck MI
Died: 20^th March, 1990, Las Vegas.

By all accounts, he was a big band, jazz drummer. He was in the Air Force [SAC], and played percussion in Air Force bands in the late 50s and early 60s. It seems like he was playing locally in Detroit when he was recruited by Marvin Gaye [via David Van De Pitte]. Does anybody know which bands? What else did he play on at Motown? And what became of him afterwards?


Any anecdotes would be much appreciated, or, hope of hopes, a photo!
