Who played the sax part on the “Pink Panther” TV show and movie?
A. That’s Plas Johnson, wonderful studio sax man who also did some yakety-sax solos on the 50s and 60s rock and roll dates, altho’, being black, he didn’t want his name on some of that rock stuff. Plas also was a fine live jazz sax man, some on the Beach Boys dates too. Normally in the 60s, it was the famous Steve Douglas who was known for all the hot rock sax solos (he was the #1 rock sax man in LA studios), the Jack Nitzchie dates etc. but Plas did do a few of those too.
