"Whip It Up" maybe?

EDIT: No, probably "I Could Have Stood You Up".

Definitely.
I usually accept "celebrity" deaths pretty easily, even if I've admired their work a lot.
I remember when Lou Reed died, and it didn't seem real, didn't seem plausible (and then two months later my sister died of pancreatic cancer. Really fucking fast too).

How very sad, and what a great loss to the world of music. I send my prayers to Bobby, his family, friends and fans. Bobby’s contribution to the Stones’ sound was immense and immeasurable. Of course, he added his magic touch so many songs by other artists as well. For decades, I would crank up the sax solo on Dion’s “The Wanderer” whenever it came on the oldies station, reveling in the melody and groove. It would send chills down my spine every time. It never occurred to me that Bobby was the player, probably because I assumed he would have been far too young. Only when his book came out did I learn that the solo was played by a 17 year old Bobby (then I thought to myself, “AHA! No wonder I love it!). I’m not a musician and can’t articulate my thoughts in technical terms, but he just had THAT FEEL. The melodies and rhythm that his brain & gut told his fingers and breath to play were just natural, grooving, rocking PERFECTION. I feel so fortunate to have seen him onstage so many times. In addition to his spectacular playing, his relaxed, charismatic, “good ole boy” presence onstage was always a treat. I would just grin from ear to ear when he was playing his heart out, and he will be dearly missed at future Stones shows. I was fortunate to have had a lovely conversation with him after a Winos show in ’93, and I echo what scores of other fans have reported over the years - he was kind, funny, down-to-earth and definitely had that endearing, mischievous “twinkle” so many have mentioned.

Many thanks to you, Bobby. Your musical legacy on earth is rich. You can play your horn for the angels now (and maybe even teach Gabriel how to groove).

Bobby’s solo (played at age 17)  on Dion’s “The Wanderer” @ 1:39

The song SweetCharmedLife was referring to was indeed 'I Could've Stood You Up', Mr. Yeats...listening to it right now.

I had read Jim Carroll's "Basketball Diaries" long ago, and was wondering about him recently. 

RIP Jim Carroll.

Always thought that the Stones could have nailed The Wanderer and that Mick would have been a great lead for the song -- given his escapades.  HAd no idea Bobby played that sax.

Learn sumpin' new every day -- thanks Plink.
Welcome to the nut house -- wish it were under better circumstances.

Welcome, Plink.

Nice first post.

I dont think thats Bobby on 'The Wanderer' though (never saw it mentioned anywhere before and the wiki entry for the song credits two other sax players) - if it was, that would have been his 'signature' song as much as 'Brown Sugar' is, as its every bit as famous a record.

Your comments about what he was like as a person mirror my own. Really nice, down to earth and approachable guy.

Was just thinking last night that the last time I got to meet him would have been in Madrid with Mary (Gottorollme) in June 2007. Both of them now no longer with us, due to liver disease. Sad.

And I was just thinking that one of the first people who'll greet Bobby on the other side will be our fiery redhead from Bayonne "Hey kid. Jagger really is a rat bastid, isn't he?" Wink
