Here are two early favourite tracks by the saxman. Just listen to his sax solo on Foreigner's "Urgent". His mix of controlled Motown magic with the wild sax playing is fantastic. Steve Cropper's guitar is pure dynamite on this track.īut my hero is Jr Walker. "Home Grown" on Stax is still a favourite of mine. & The MG's was my first love in instrumental soul.

Years later it would be sampled in a rap song called "Bust A Move."īy TonyRussi (68.210.2.104) on Thursday, Ap10:04 am: We didn't seem to mind because was a great record-and still is. Imagine on rainy school days having to listen to this record over & over in the gym. It was Dennis Coffey's "Scorpio" 45! If it wasn't the only record there, it was the only one we played. I remember at Monnier Elementary, it seemed like we only had ONE record that went along with the school's phonograph player. Scorpio by Dennis Coffey and The Detroit Guitar Band with that incredable rhythym section not to mention Babbitts solo.īy Uptight! (24.55.6.144) on Thursday, Ap10:03 am:
