Check out John Laughter at the 1:03 mark! It was performances like this that made me, and so many others, want to pick up the sax in the first place!
John's contributions to the sax community are truly phenomenal. His absolutely invaluable history of sax solos from 1955-2015, has been widely recognized and hailed by his fellow players, such as Plas Johnson who wrote the Preface;
" Preface
Plas Johnson: John Laughter is performing a great service for the many unheralded and unrecognized sax soloists who played on hit records over the decades. For many years the record companies excluded the names of all musicians on their records. There are albums that I played on where the commentary on the back cover speaks about the artist and tunes, then proceeds to describe the recording technique and equipment - nothing about the musicians...So, many thanks to John Laughter for his efforts in digging out and publishing this information."
and many more:

Plus, his great "Rock & Roll Saxophone" book/CD, available from many outlets, continues to inspire and lead.
Thanks John!
