[@sauquoit13456]

Saxophonist Grady Gaines passed away on January 29th, 2021. He was 86 years old... Mr. Gaines was working as a session musician in 1955 when Little Richard asked him to join his backing band, the Upsetters. He became the band’s leader, touring extensively with Richard for the next few years as well as playing sax on recordings including “Keep A Knockin’,” “Ooh My Soul,” and “I’ll Never Let You Go.” Mr. Gaines had an iconic moment with Richard in the 1956 movie 'Don't Knock The Rock', he jumped atop Richard’s piano and played his solo sax on "Long Tall Sally"... After Richard stepped away from secular music in 1958, the Upsetters continued on, backing other greats including Sam Cooke (1931-1964) and James Brown (1933-2006). In later years, he formed a new band, the Texas Upsetters. He toured and recorded with the Texas Upsetters for years... In the 1970s he played with Millie Jackson and Curtis Mayfield... May he R.I.P.
