Best-known for his long association with the Rolling Stones, tenor saxophonist Bobby Keys spent
several decades as an in-demand session man and touring musician, able to play blues, R&B, and
rock & roll with equal flair. Born and raised in Texas, Keys was playing in rock & roll bands as
early as the '50s, and worked with Buddy Holly and Bobby Vee, among many others.
Keys worked regularly at the famed Muscle Shoals studios in Alabama before meeting the Stones in
1969; his work on Let It Bleed (not to mention the simple fact of association) quickly made him a
hot property. Over the next few years, Keys played on albums by George Harrison (All Things Must
Pass), Delaney & Bonnie, Eric Clapton, Humble Pie, the Faces, Carly Simon, Nilsson, Joe Cocker,
John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and B.B. King. He also continued his relationship with
the Stones, appearing on classics like Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street, and striking up
an instant chemistry with Keith Richards. In 1972, Keys recorded a self-titled solo album for
Warner Bros., which featured an all-star guest lineup including members of the Beatles, Cream,
Mountain, and Traffic, plus his longtime trumpet-playing partner Jim Price.
By the mid-'70s, his activities with the Stones were beginning to tail off, though he maintained
a working relationship with the band over the years, both in the studio and on the road. He
continued to find work through his old connections, and in 1979 joined Ron Wood's touring band
the New Barbarians. In more recent years, Keys has continued to tour with the Stones and guest on
the occasional album (including Sheryl Crow's The Globe Sessions), and also performed with the
Lubbock, TX-based band the Ace Liquidators.

stampeding a pack of lions stalking her young on no less than three tracks which are sure to curdle the blood and produce surges of adreniline, goose bumps and symptoms of fight or flight in the most hearty of men."
I knew Michael Jackson and worked with Jermaine Jackson when I came to Los Angeles after leaving K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Michael Jackson was a gift from God that we were gratefully allowed to share our lives and hearts with through his wonderful music which will always live on...A shy man seeking peace in the midst of all of the storms that swirled around him in his life...It is my prayer that he is truely peaceful now. I intend to make great music in his honor and I hope all of our comtemporaries will do the same... In Jesus love, Oliver C. Brown
