The Recording Academy® Statement Re: Wayne Jackson June 22, 2016

"A 2012 recipient of The Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award as a member of the incredible Memphis Horns, Wayne Jackson and his trumpet were a perfect pair. Primarily with his decades-long musical partner, saxophonist Andrew Love, he performed on standout recordings such as Otis Redding's 'Dock of the Bay,' Aretha Franklin's 
Respect,' Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline,' Elvis Presley's 
'Suspicious Minds,'
 Al Green's '
Let's Stay Together,' Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer,' and countless others. We have lost a brilliant musician and our heartfelt condolences go out to Wayne’s family, friends and all those who benefited from his tremendous talents."
