Grover Washington, Jr.
This pioneering Smooth Jazz saxophonist was also a dedicated and talented Hard Bopper who always gave back to the community.
Washington was already a jazz name when his 1980 album Wine Light crossed him over to pop stardom.
Grover went from R&B-tinged sideman to solo star with Inner City Blues (1971).
Washington's Soul Jazz saxophone forefathers include Hank Crawford and Stanley Turrentine.
In the mid-1980s, Washington recorded a fine duet album with guitarist Kenny Burrell.
