After playing with Buddy Holly and on tracks like the Coasters' "Yakety Yak," he began cutting his own pop/soul/jazz records, ultimately scoring a hit with the swinging "Soul Twist" in 1962. His prolific output and session work continued -- Curtis offered a notable performance on John Lennon's <I>Imagine</I>, for instance -- until he was murdered outside his New York apartment in 1971. - Jon PruettBlues Jazzen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:43:53 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44168&rws=%2Fking-curtis%2Ftop-tracks.rss With his beginnings as a sessionman in the '50s, King Curtis perfected his hard-playing tenor sax skills.
