Steve Douglas was a renowned sax player who worked with a Who's Who of contemporary music including Phil Spector, Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys, Duane Eddy, Aretha Franklin, ELVIS PRESLEY, Bob Dylan and the Ramones, among many others. He also produced Mink DeVille's Le Chat Bleu (1980) and, in 2003, Steve was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In addition to being such a great player, Steve was also a remarkable and extremely down to earth person and was a well loved member of JJ Cale's Band for some time. After he passed away at a Ry Cooder recording session on April 19, 1993, JJ Cale dedicated this song to his memory. It was released on 1994's Closer To You album.
