And, compared to modern Americans, they are all so slim. <br /><br />And at the end of the solo Junior plays a real high note - right at 1:30 - as a former reed and double reed player, all I can say is - damn!<br /><br />Junior, you rocked.

Wait, there was a bass player too, right? <br /><br />The key (argh!) to it being successful is the magic that happens when someone with a vision makes it all come together in a stew of rhythmic funk - and if one knows how to do that, one could be very successful at making good music. Alas, the specific formula is a mystery, which explains why most music sucks. <br /><br />Jr. Walker was a magician. I attribute some of my hearing loss to listening to his music turned up way too loud - but that's a small price to pay for getting the tenor fix. What?
