In 1959 Black joined a group of musicians which became Bill Black's Combo. The lineup was Black (bass), Joe Lewis Hall (piano), Reggie Young (guitar), Martin Wills (saxophone), and Jerry Arnold (drums). There were several personnel changes. While Young was in the army, his position was filled by Hank Hankins, Chips Moman and Tommy Cogbill. Ace Cannon replaced Wills on sax. Carl McVoy replaced Hall in the studio, while Bobby Emmons replaced him on tour.

@cky12qxz : Yes, that's a tenor sax, though Ace is known for his work on an alto.

I dig the stare down at 1:15 - 1:22 between Bill Black & Hank Hakins. Absolutely classic !! Backed up the video several times just see that part again.

Wonderful footage! Bill always makes me smile when he holds the stare and then winks at around 1:16, lol. Thanks for uploading!
