Jr. Walker And The All Stars Songs

(with biography below if available)

Autry DeWalt Mixon, Jr. (June 14, 1931 - November 23, 1995), known by the stage name Junior Walker, was an American musician. His group, Junior Walker & the All Stars, were signed to the Motown label in the 1960s, and became one of the label's signature acts. The only Motown instrumentalist to make recordings under his own name, Junior Walker scored a number of hits between 1965 and 1970. Featuring his dynamic tenor saxophone solos and raspy voice, Junior Walker was one of Motown's more idiosyncratic performers.

Walker continued recording in the '70s, including a stint with ex-Motown producer writer Norman Whitfield's label in 1979, but was never as commercially successful as he had been with Motown. He provided the saxophone solo for Foreigner's 1981 hit "Urgent" and re-signed with Motown in 1983. Junior Walker and The All-Stars toured into the '90s.
