Jr. Walker and the all stars


Jr. Walker and the all stars.  What an album cover.  I am sure that this kind of artwork never pass muster and make it out of the record company's legal department.  It's trademark lawyer's dream!  And you likely know much about Jr. Walker.  But I had forgotten this nugget:  He played that most awesome sax solo on Mick Jones' Foreigner track Urgent.  On the recording, apparently that "solo" was cobbled together in the studio from bits and pieces of earlier recorded tapes he had made previously with the band.  I got this record for fifty cents last weekend at a record collectors tradeshow.
