Walker was born Autry DeWalt Mixon, Jr. in Blytheville, 

Arkansas[1] and grew up in South Bend, Indiana.

His saxophone style was the anchor for the band's overall sound.

The other original members of the group were drummer 

Tony Washington, guitarist Willie Woods, and keyboardist Vic Thomas.

  "Shotgun" is a 1965 single by Junior Walker & the All Stars, produced by

 Berry Gordy Jr. and Lawrence Horn.[1] It reached number one on

 the U.S. R&B Singles chart for fournon-consecutive weeks and was

 a Top 10 Pop smash, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100.

Famous guitarist Jimi Hendrix performed the song live with the All Stars

. An unusual detail about "Shotgun" is that it uses only one chord 

throughout the entire song -- A-flat seventh.
