Grover Washington, Jr.について
Given a saxophone by his father at age eight, jazz musician Grover Washington, Jr., rose to fame as one of the originators of the smooth jazz sound.

∙ The Platinum-selling 1980 album Winelight earned him a Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance and was also nominated for Record of the Year.
∙ “Just the Two of Us”—his signature duet with Bill Withers—won the 1982 Grammy Award for Best R&B Song and was reworked by Will Smith into a Top 20 hit in 1998.
∙ Hip-hop duo Outkast prominently sampled his 1975 song “Knucklehead” on their 1994 hit “Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.”
∙ Washington appeared in Blues Brothers 2000 as a member of the fictional in-film band, The Louisiana Gator Boys, alongside such legends as B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and Bo Diddley.
