Hank Crawford - Don't Cry Baby

A little trivia: the bari player here, Howard Johnson, played and recorded with Crawford in the '60s.

I know David Sanborn was digging being in Hank's section for this. Hell, I would too! That arrangement is just ace.

Damb. This is sooo damn slanky. I woulda killed to have heard Hank with Ray or his own small group back in the '60s! Chill bumps.

I have been trying to work out what make of sax Hank is playing, does anyone know? RIP HANK

memmber his LP hank crawfords back? it had a picture of him showing his back. w

So incredibly beautiful - brings tears to my eyes.

He got me into saxophone. Too bad he never got the attention he deserved. But I guess he didn't care at all.

I know it's a crime, 90% of people are like Hank who?

Wow! I just on a lark thought about HC and did a yahoo search(I knew he had been sick but I'd heard he was back playing about a year or so ago......) and read the brief l.a. times article. I was blessed to see him twice live. The 2nd time in our conversation, I was trying to let him know how much his music meant to me. That small band of Bro. Ray's with HC writing those killer charts-had a horn section that held its own with ANY. From Earl Bostic to Sanborn is the most SOULFUL player ever. HCRIP

that tone....Im losin' it.
