I sometimes get asked by my friends why I like the rock ‘n roll of the 50s so much. The answer is very simple: The saxophone played such a dominant role in those bands, that I’m automatically drawn to the music like that of no other decade. (Well perhaps the 80s, but that’s a whole other story…) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
One of the artists whose music I absolutely love is Little Richard. He was a true pioneer of rock ‘n roll. He of course used a horn section, and featured saxophone solos in many of his greatest hits.<\/p>\n
One such hit was Keep On Knockin’<\/em>, which featured the saxophone stylings of: Grady Gaines\u2014who also did all the solo work\u2014Clifford Burks, and Wilbert Smith AKA Lee Diamond.<\/p>\n
