This was Carole King's biggest hit after the release of the album Tapestry. Here, she celebrates the jazz musician, particularly the most gifted ones who "lift me above the old routine," and requests a song.
King wrote the music, and the lyrics were written by David Palmer, who was a vocalist on some early Steely Dan songs, including "Dirty Work."
Tom Scott played the role of the "Jazzman" - that's him on saxophone. Scott is a prolific player who has worked as a solo artist, performed with The Blues Brothers and appeared on the song "Terminal Frost."
