And, in all of my email communication with others over the past 3 years I have never seen Pepper connected to the song.

My info came directly from Mike Sharp's friend who lives in Atlanta. I am now interested in more imput about this connection. is some info about Pepper and a quote from the second web page, which does suggest that he played on a single by the Classics IV so I can see where your teacher got the connection. If you will email me I will send a list to show your teacher. That is why we are trying to get it right and give credit where it is due. Shihants, you will find, as many of us did during an ongoing project that traces the sax players who appeared on the Top 40 hits, that there has been a lot of confusion through the years about who really played and who was credited on the LP or CD. Cobb and Buddy Buie wrote and produced most of the Classic IV hits and Paul Goddard went on to the Atlanta Rythem Cobb played guitar in Billy Joe Royal road band along with Mike Clark 'Stormy' was released and was with the band for a little less than 2 years.ĭean was the only musican that played in the band and in the recording Jerrel played sax on some of the recordings.ĭean Daughtery joined and became a member of the Classic IV about the time Paul Goddard on bass, and Dean Daughtery on keyboards. The studio musicans for the Classics IV were J. I am sorry to hear of his passing according to one response.

'Traces' because I was there in the recording studio when they were being I do not know who played sax on 'Spooky', but Ray The solo was the challenge here, to find something with the structure of the melody but keeping it full sounding at the same time.įilmed in the Van by Mark Dyde our super tech on his iPhone 5S. I found myself having to workout an acoustic version of “Luka” so we could easily do these quick hits without us having to slug all of our touring equipment in and out of these radio stations.

We play one or two new songs but also invariably we get asked to play the hits like “Luka”. Suzanne has a new record out called “Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles”īecause there is a new record out we have a pretty hectic schedule of not only proper shows but almost everyday we have to pop into a radio station or TV station to do quick acoustic versions of the songs. I am on this crazy road trip throughout Europe right now with Suzanne Vega and our crew of two, Mark and Phil.
