If you grew up listening to music in the golden age of rock 'n' roll during the 1950s and into the early 1960s, it's highly unlikely you ever heard the name Plas Johnson. That said, you definitely heard him in your record collection, with his sax gracing the grooves of literally hundreds of records for a myriad of record companies during that exciting period. He is perhaps best remembered today for contributing to Henry Mancini's "The Pink Panther Theme" as well as "Peter Gunn"; however on this collection we focus on his more rockin' output. This unique compilation presents 33 tracks on which Plas lent his excellent sax work, with artists like Duane Eddy, Fats Domino, Dodie Stevens, Eddie Cochran, Ricky Nelson, Sam Cooke, The Coasters to name a few. Although a mere glimpse into his career it is easy to see why Plas Johnson was arguably one of the top tenor saxophone soloists of the rock 'n' roll era, and at the time of writing is still with us today at 93!
