Don't you know he was the king of saxophones [00:00:12]

Yes indeed he was[00:00:20]

Talkin' 'bout the guy that made it sound so good[00:00:22]

Some people knew him by the Bean[00:00:29]

But Hawkins was his name[00:00:32]

He sure could swing and play pretty too[00:00:35]

Sounds good to me should sound good to you[00:00:39]

I love to hear him playing Body and Soul[00:00:43]

Very pleasing to the ear[00:00:46]

When I first heard it on the record[00:00:51]

I just stopped right there[00:00:53]

Sounded like a band of angels in the sky[00:00:57]

And I have never ever heard a sweeter tone[00:00:59]

In fact I payed no attention to the saxophone[00:01:03]

Till Coleman Hawkins came along[00:01:07]

And spoke to everyone[00:01:10]

Saying better listen won't you hear me[00:01:12]

While I play for you [00:01:15]

Sometimes it's hot then again it's blue[00:01:17]

My soul just seems to wander[00:01:21]

Pleasing each and everyone[00:01:23]

It's what I've long been craving for[00:01:25]

The doors have not been always open[00:01:28]

But I am trying to please you[00:01:31]

Please don't stop me[00:01:35]

Hope you like it folks[00:01:36]

And then he started cookin'[00:01:37]

Every time he played[00:01:40]

Some melodic melody fast or slow[00:01:41]

You could tell that it was Hawkins[00:01:43]

No other one ever has quite captured his tone[00:01:45]

Just he alone has the sound that penetrates[00:01:51]

It will sure go right through you yes it will[00:01:56]

And every chorus gives you just another thrill[00:02:00]

Then along came Eddie Jefferson[00:02:03]

He sang the melody like Hawkins played it[00:02:05]

He sang it true he sang it blue[00:02:09]

Made words for it too[00:02:13]

All his fans in New York loved him[00:02:16]

There's no one above him[00:02:19]

Here in the U S A[00:02:21]

I've heard 'em say old Eddie was the man[00:02:23]

Oh how he could sing[00:02:27]

Man did he swing[00:02:29]

Sang on the wing did his own thing[00:02:30]

Yes he did[00:02:33]

Throughout the country[00:02:35]

Music lovers are still wiggin' on Eddie's singin'[00:02:37]

All around the world he is known[00:02:41]

Rhythm was his special joy he swung it like a horn[00:02:45]

He must have been born to be a singer[00:02:51]

'Cause his lyrics were so sincere and true[00:02:54]

Funny sad or blue oh yeah [00:02:57]

And we've got to remind you many years it took him[00:03:00]

Singing every day to achieve his first claim to fame[00:03:05]

He was twenty years ahead of his time[00:03:09]

And he knew it but he kept right on a singing[00:03:13]

He went all around the world making rhythm[00:03:17]

'Cause music sure was in him and he knew it was[00:03:19]

Sang with Moody and Richie Cole[00:03:25]

He could sing it just like Bird[00:03:27]

But his forte was the words he wrote to[00:03:29]

Music that he sang[00:03:31]

So he sang and he sang[00:03:34]

And he sang his words so clever[00:03:35]

And I know they'll silence him never[00:03:38]

'Cause he cut this masterpiece[00:03:42]

And now we're trying to sing it for you[00:03:46]

Hope the Bean and Eddie both would still approve[00:03:50]

There we go we didn't mean to reminisce[00:03:54]

You can surely bet that we won't forget[00:04:02]

'Cause we hear them yet goodbye[00:04:06]
