Arguably the greatest soul horn section ever, the Memphis Horns were a critical part of the Stax formula during the '60s and '70s, as well as prolific contributors to numerous other sessions since the label's demise. Though today the name is identified with the duo of trumpeter Wayne Jackson and tenor saxophonist Andrew Love, the band at one time also included tenor saxophonist Ed Logan, trombonists Lewis Collins and Jack Hale, and baritone saxophonist James Mitchell. This was the lineup that recorded for RCA in the '70s, cutting LPs produced by <a href="spotify:artist:6J3pUmw6KX1LqyLQkP0k9U">Booker T. Jones</a> and others. They also backed <a href="spotify:artist:0WxOgeRxUt0MwPrI7A5atQ">King Curtis</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7nwUJBm0HE4ZxD3f5cy5ok">Aretha Franklin</a> in the '70s. But they are best known for appearances on songs by virtually every Stax artist. The duo of Jackson and <a href="spotify:artist:7bE9OZdKvqgLYxJWabpNL6">Love</a> issued their own LP in 1992 for an independent label. <a href="spotify:artist:7bE9OZdKvqgLYxJWabpNL6">Love</a> was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2002 and died ten years later at his home in Memphis at the age of 70. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
