Happy Birthday, Dick Parry! The man whose saxophone solos have single-handedly convinced generations that air-sax is just as cool as air-guitar. From the iconic riffs on Pink Floyd's "Money" to the soulful melodies of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," your music has been responsible for countless spontaneous jam sessions and questionable dance moves worldwide.Beyond Pink Floyd, your smooth sounds graced Bloodstone's "Riddle of the Sphinx," proving once again that every album benefits from a little more sax appeal. Here's wishing you another year filled with timeless grooves, endless applause, and fewer people asking if you can play "Careless Whisper."
