A couple of his more well-known pop solos on other artist records..."How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" by James Taylor, and "Young Americans" by David Bowie. He had polio as a child and was urged to learn a woodwind instrument to help with his lungs...spent teen years sitting in with bands in St Louis and went on to great success and acclaim.
We saw him in the last couple of years at Jazz St Louis, a great small venue. Very humble, humorous, talented.
