	King Curtis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Curtis Ousley (February 7, 1934– August 13, 1971), who performed under the name King Curtis, was an American tenor, alto, and soprano saxophonist who played rhythm and blues, soul, rock, and soul jazz.
		Curtis guested on John Lennon's Imagine and was capable of attracting the best session musicians to put in appearances for his own albums, including guitarist Duane Allman on Instant Groove and organist Billy Preston on Live At Fillmore West.
		King Curtis' "Whiter Shade of Pale" plays during the beginning of Withnail and I, and was chosen as a symbol of the end of 1960s idealism.

		Howard worked for Curtis for a short period on a contract basis, but filed a civil complaint in small claims court in July 2001 seeking payment for the one week's salary on the vacation time he was refused.
		Curtis moved to disqualify Howard and the Daly firm from representing King.
		Curtis argued that his former associate might use confidential information about the law firm in connection with the fee dispute; that Howard's professional judgment had been impaired by his personal interests; and that it was likely Howard would be called as a necessary witness.

	The Cowboy and the Dandy
		To say that Curtis dresses up Buddy's sound (as he did the sound of so many artists, including that of Aretha Franklin, the Shirelles, and Wilson Pickett) is an apt and historically exact metaphor to use to describe both the tune and the larger genesis of Curtis's horn.
		King Curtis perfects the Jordan-Bostic line--he doubtless knew Bostic in New York once he had settled there as a young session aspirant in the early 1950s--and shows how rock and roll can take the logic that invented jazz itself another step further.
		King Curtis was originally from Fort Worth, and his yakety horn is an audacious transformation of what is customarily called Texas tenor, a broad, open sound like Jacquet's, a sound more stomping than the beboppers' despite their own profound bluesiness, and the jazz counterpart to the big, open stance of the cowboy himself.

		Curtis played like a man taking double-time stutter steps, and for all the Coasters' skill at comic vignettes, musicians knew that without King Curtis, "Yakety Yak" wouldn't have come close to the No. 1 position it reached on the pop charts.
		The generic term for Curtis' style was "honking," and he was not the first to realize that blowing boldly into a tenor saxophone was a good way to get a crowd's attention.
		Curtis Ousley was born in Fort Worth on Feb. 7, 1934, and at the age of 10, he heard sax player Louis Jordan on the radio.

		King Curtis was in New York when I quit high school to go play with Duane.
		So, I traded in my Selmer Tenor for a King, got a new mouthpiece, then came back the next day and sat down with King Curtis and learned how to growl and tongue and play differently, because I was going to be a jazz player all through high school.
		King Curtis helped me, he actually saved my gig, 'cause that next show I went out with Duane and I had a whole different sound, and on Rebel Rouser I got all excited and jumped up and leaped up in the air, and Duane loved that and said "Leave that in".

		Curtis occasionally gets lost in the mix, but it doesn't matter; with so much great music going on, you probably won't notice.
		The first solo album by the former leader of the Impressions, Curtis represented a musical apotheosis for Curtis Mayfield -- indeed, it was practically the "Sgt. Pepper's" album of '70s soul,...

		Curtis was the ultimate rock and roll sax man, he defined the idiom, he was the idiom.
