"Right On Brothers And Sisters" by Jr Walker & The All Stars

His name was Autry DeWalt-Mixom, but this saxophonist, vocalist, and songwriter from Arkansas was known to the world as Jr. Walker. He shot to fame with his classic hit "Shotgun," which reached #4 in 1965 and earned both Grammy and R&R Hall of Fame awards.

He and his "All Stars" would rack up a few other minor hits, including "(I'm A) Road Runner" (#20), "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" (#18), and "Come See About Me" (#24), before lunging back into the Top 10 with "What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)" (#4) in 1969.

Walker's final chart appearance was in 1972 when "Walk In The Night" reached #46, unless you count his sax contribution on Foreigner's 1981 hit, "Urgent." Walker died of cancer in 1995 at the age of 64.

"Right On Brothers And Sisters" is one of Jr Walker's more laid back offerings, but this groovy song and its message always needs to be heard. It comes from his 1971 LP, "Rainbow Funk."
