Rock & Roll Saxophone-foreword by Scott Page, was published in
1989. Contemporary Saxophone-foreword by Ernie Watts and preface
Jay Davidson, was published in 1992 followed by the 2nd edition of
Rock & Roll Saxophone in 1996. Over the years I have received many
questions about the players whose solos were heard on the Top 40
"Pop" music hits. Many of the solos inspired students of all ages
to pick up the sax and join a band.
In the 50s/60S it may have been King Curtis, Boots Randolph, Lee
Allen, Ace Cannon or Junior Walker. In more recent years Marc
Russo, Dave Koz, Kenny G, Kirk Whalum, Ernie Watts, Candy Dulfer
or Gerald Albright. In addition, many UK artists led the
inspiration overseas. The list continues to grow.
Many of the hits featured sax players who never received credit,
either on L.P. covers, CD liner notes or history books. The
following list represents a long overdue salute to these
musicians. A CD set (480) pages in MS Word) with bios/photos and
17 music tracks can be purchased by contacting John Laughter @
JSAXL@aol.com
The New Sound
The year was 1955. The new Top 40 hits of Fats Domino, The El
Dorados, Billy Vaughn, Bill Haley and the Comets, and Pat Boone
were filling the airwaves and jukeboxes across the globe.
Teenagers were tuning in and dancing to the new beat. In 1956,
Little Richard, Johnny Dankworth, The Dells, Ken MacIntosh, The
Cadillacs, The Five Satins, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, and
Bill Doggett also joined in and were recording the new Top 40
hits. It was an exciting time for many teenagers. International
popular music was about to change forever and one unique sound
that was common to many hit records was the versatile styles of
the saxophone.
Who were the musicians who inspired many of us to learn to
play the sax during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s?
Where are they today?
Unfortunately, for many years in the world of pop music most
session musicians were never given credit on the LP covers or CD
liner notes. In some cases, had it not been for the studio
musicians, the record might not have become a hit for the singer.
Even in some recordings that used the singers own band, credit
was not always given to those who made it happen.
In most historical documents there is room for error and
misinformation. I have used Internet resources, email responses,
and various books to confirm as many dates, names, and songs as
possible. However, as I concluded the research and prepared this
book to be published, I knew that an updated edition would follow
in the future as more songs, names, and corrections surface.
If you have additional information to add to the future
editions, please contact me at JSAXL@aol.com and I will add your
updates to the text. I hope we will one day have a complete and
comprehensive account of these musicians.
The majority of the listed hits contain an obvious solo.
However, a few of the hits have a dominant sax line in the
background but no solo per se. According to the contributors the
background sax line was a vital part of the song so it was added.
Lets take a trip and go back in time. Do you remember that
song and solo that inspired you to pick up the saxophone?

I could not confirm the names of the recording session players for
Pat Boone. His agent indicated that Mr. Boone recalled the name
Justin Tubbs as being the sax soloist. However, according to a
web site by Don Rose;
His (Joe Daley) career has been diverse: he was one of the
brothers in a Woody Herman Herd of 1950-51, and worked with the
Maynard Ferguson and Nelson Riddle bands. He also played tenor in
the studio band that backed Pat Boone for most of his recording
sessions during the 1950s.
Another name that was given to me is Justin Gordon. Gordon also
appears on the Billy Vaughn hits.
The Bear Family Records collection credits the following sax
players for Boones sessions which include all of his Top 40 hits;
JOHN ROTELLA, WILBUR SCHWARTZ, PAUL HORN, JOE KRETCHER, JULIAN C.
MATLOCK, RYLAND WESTON, JOSEPH KRECHTER, HAROLD HUGH EHRMANN,
HUBERT MAXWELL MYERS, JULIAN "MATTY" MATLOCK, JUSTIN GORDON, BILLY
VAUGHN, BENNY CARTER, GENE CIPRIANO, MAHLON CLARK, JEWELL L.
GRANT, DAVE PELL and JOHN JOHNSON. (In the Pat Boone list of
players, John Johnson is probably the same as Plas John Johnson.
He may have been under contract to another label at that moment in
time and used his middle name). Gaye, (Johnsons good friend)

It was released late in 1956. Fee Bee was just too small a
label to handle the sales, so it was leased it to Dot, which
put it out in early 1957. The record exploded onto the scene
and remained on the charts for 31 weeks, reaching number four
on the pop chart and number three on the R&B chart.

However, according to;
Lloyd_Price
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Merritt Mel Dalton was the lead Sax Man on the recordings of
"Personality, Stagger Lee, I'm gonna get married etc..,"
Merritt, was in the traveling band as well and appeared on
the Ed Sullivan show with Lloyd Price.
In addition;

Dear Mr. Laughter-Richard Weize from Bear Family forwarded me your e-mail--I

Another Norfolk resident at the time, Gary Anderson, who
recorded as Gary US Bonds for Frank Guida's Legrand Records,
had a minimal hit titled "New Orleans." Guida put together a
studio rhythm section and featured Earl Swanson (who was once
married briefly to Ruth Brown) on tenor sax.
http://hamptonroads.com/2008/06/sax-man-blows-town
The sax player on U.S. Bonds' first two singles, "New
Orleans" and "Not Me" is not Gene Barge, but Earl Swanson
(Ruth Brown's second husband).

specific credits for this track (and three other tracks
recorded on the same day). The album credits that you have
are for the entire album, so not quite as exact. Recorded

Hi, John

COLD SWEAT - JAMES BROWN
I think youll find Maceo Parker played (admittedly lightertoned) TENOR - not alto - on this and his other J.B. solo
features. He eventually switched to ALTO at the boss's behest
at the beginning of 1973 upon returning to the fold: reformed as Fred Wesley & The JB's. N.B. Doing It To Death
plus the album track Damn Right I Am Somebody which I
vividly recall hearing as it blared out of a boutique and
going "Hey, that alto players Maceo!, dashing in and

(46) SPOOKYCLASSICS IV
MIKE (SHARP) SHAPIRO
TENOR
Once the group signed with The Lowery Music Group out of
Atlanta, Georgia and Capitol records, The Classics IV rerecorded Spooky. The song was originally an instrumental
regional hit by Mike Sharp, a talented saxophone player. J.R.
Cobb and producer Buddy Buie added lyrics to it and the rest
is history.
Two web sites that credit Jim Pepper as the soloist;
http://www.inmotionmagazine.com/pepper.html
http://tools.search.yahoo.com/language/translation/
translatedPage.php?tt=url&text=http%3a//www.jazzpoint.at/
chronik/jim_pepper.4.php&lp=de_en
The only reason I can figure a few sites credit Jim Pepper is
because one started it and the others follow. Try checking
the internet and some fairly accredited recording
publications, like ROLLING STONE, and ALL MUSIC GUIDE, and
they all credit Wally Eaton on rhythm guitar and Joe Wilson
on bass. WRONG! Wally was the bass player and Joe Wilson
played keyboards. They only played their true instruments on
their very first records on the Capitol Label and also
contributed other instrumentation in the studio for the hits,
but they were the touring band and the ORIGINAL Classics IV
members.
Joe Glickman
www.classicsiv.com
By the way, Mike Shapiro recorded under the name Mike Sharpe
because Shapiro wasn't Gentile enough for the recording
industry at the time. That is a comment made by Buddy Buie to
me. Shapiro played at The Houndstooth in Atlanta with Harry
Middlebrooks early on and Emory Gordy, Jr. and Dennis St.
John both played on Mikes instrumental version, as well as
The Classics IVs, which came out nearly a year before The
Classics IVs version. Mike Sharpe recorded on the same
label, but at a studio down the road from Lowerys. Buie and
Cobb heard the instrumental and added lyrics to it. The rest
is history.
Thats the story.

Yes; the saxophone was played by Jim Horn, who also did all

(3) BAKER STREET-GERRY RAFFERTY
CHARLES LLOYD
RAPHAEL RAVENSCROFT
TENOR
ALTO
"In fact, most of what I played was an old blues riff," says
the sax musician. "If you're asking me: 'Did Gerry hand me a
piece of music to play?' then no, he didn't." Ravenscroft's
fee was a cheque for 27, which he says bounced anyway and is
now framed and hangs on his solicitor's wall. Rafferty has
not attempted to make further payment, and Ravenscroft has
chosen not to pursue the matter of a song that guarantees
Rafferty a yearly income of 80,000. Since the song thrust
Rafferty into a spotlight that has made him deeply
uncomfortable ever since, maybe Ravenscroft is right to
regard the riches of 'Baker Street' as tainted money: "If I
had received pots of money, I wouldn't have known what to
do," he remarked recently. "It might have destroyed me."
Note: Raphael Ravenscroft is given credit on the LP cover.
My father, though very well known in both the jazz and the
session world, has never sought the limelight. He is now in
his 80s and has retired. It is sad to me that the truth has
never come out, that Rav took credit for this, and that my
father never got the recognition he deserved.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Newman

Jonathan, it is good to hear from you!
I will be glad to add your email to the list if that is okay
with you? I have followed the comments on SOTW and will be
glad to add your comment to the list so that everyone can

Is it okay to add your email statement to the book?

I'm surprised I didn't catch this when your book first came
out, but in your sax on the web post I was enjoying looking
through all the soloists you'd compiled through the years and
was surprised to see that you had Lou Marini as the soloist
on the record "King Tut" by Steve Martin. Actually that was
me on tenor for the solo and I also overdubbed the bari and
the flute parts. The rest of the section was made up of guys
in the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Steve, the Dirt Band and the
band I was in at the time all shared the same manager, Bill
McEuen. (John McEuen's Brother) The song was recorded at Bill
McEuen's Studio in Aspen Colorado. Bill even gave me a gold
record of the tune once it became a hit, which I still have.
I'm sure where the confusion came in was that Lou Marini was
in the Saturday Night Band at the time Steve Martin appeared
on the show after the tune was a hit. They of course used the
Saturday Night Live Band for Steve's live rendition on the
show and Lou played the tenor solo, dressed in the Egyptian
costume (lucky guy!). I'd love to hear back from you on this
if you have the time.
Bryan Savage
Good to hear from you Bryan. As you can imagine it has been
a long road trying to confirm the credits on the list so any
help is appreciated. And we have had a lot of help.
I recall that the information was taken from some web sites
which are not all accurate as follows but it stands to reason
that Lou would have been given credit for the "live" version.
Bryan, I will gladly enter your info to the list!
Thanks for the help.
John Laughter
Hi John
Thanks for the quick reply! And thanks for doing the
correction. Sounds like you have a job for life with this
cool project!
That was interesting to see those links you sent. They seemed
pretty accurate, other than one implying that the TV
performance came before the record--the record was already a
hit by the time the Saturday Night Live performance occurred.
I remember when Steve was booked for the show and the tune
was already big on the radio, there was some talk about
having the Dirt Band and I do the show with Steve as the band
but it didn't take them long to figure out they already had a
house band (with Lou) that would do a great job!
Thanks again for making the correction,
Bryan Savage
5/18/2011
Hi again John,
I stumbled onto another post from you dated last September
asking for credit info and one of the tunes was the Dirt
Band's "Fire in the Sky" from 1981. In case you still need
the info, I played the solo on that one and so did Al Garth!
We are both on the same cut, just in different sections if I
remember correctly. Al was a member of the band about up to
that time but was leaving and they had me come in to add the
solo to the cut. Jeff Hanna of the Dirt Band was producing
and it was recorded in L.A.
Thanks

It was me. Alan Holmes on the final version.
Other sax players did play on the track but my unique
growling style was what they really were looking for.
Alby Donnelly was getting the broadcast royalties until a
couple of years ago.
I also did 'Good Morning Good Morning'on Sgt Pepper plus four
years of playing on all the Kinks rock opera stuff.
Bob asked me about working with the Beatles.
The Musicians Union demanded that I was paid every time Bob
mimed to my playing on TV because he did not want me to
appear in person.
I started out by playing with Gene Vincent and Little
Richard. 'Dont knock the Rock' shown on Granada TV.

Hi!
During the time my brother Kristinn played with the group
Mezzoforte, he played all the sax solos (i.e. soprano, alto
and tenor). The additional sax players only played in the
background.
Kind regards,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. There were a few
different versions of this song, the single, movie, and movie
soundtrack may be different in some ways including lead
singers. I thought Edgar played Sax, however I just cant be
sure, there may have been a few people tried on Sax I cant
recall which one we used.
Ill look into this for you and see what I come up with, and
yes I recorded this and worked on the mix with another
mixer.

I cant remember who played it. Either me or a guy called

both . . .!

John, I was reading your book today and had a little extra
info. Michael Bolton released 2 versions of Georgia on my
mind. The album and initial release was Michael Brecker on
the sax solo. Another single version was released shortly
after with Kenny G on the solo. Thanks for all you do for the
history of saxophone. Karl Wingruber, 5/8/13
12/5/13, Michael Bolton did have a top 40 hit with Georgia
on My Mind with Kenny G playing the sax.

Dear John,
if I am not mistaken it was Jim Horn. But I would have to
call the Brooks & Dunn guys to tell you for sure. Is there no
credit on the CD?

Thanks again for this awesome repository information! A
quick update/validation on Page 101, the last song listed for
2004. I confirmed with Jeff Coffin that the soloist on Honky
Tonk Girl was Jim Horn. I went to school with Jeff, we
roomed on the road together long ago and still keep in touch
these days while hes on the road with the Dave Matthews
Band.
