Jr. Walker & The All Stars – Sax Appeal (1976) LP Review

 

 Soul Records 1976  – S6-747S1

notes:

Released in 1976 on Soul Records, Sax Appeal finds Jr. Walker & The All Stars

riding the late-70s wave of funk-infused soul while staying true to their 

signature sound: gritty rhythms, smooth grooves, and Junior Walker’s 

unmistakable tenor saxophone lead.

Junior Walker (born Autry DeWalt Mixon Jr.) was one 

of the most iconic saxophonists in R&B, known for 

his blistering tenor lead and crossover soul hits.
