BOOTS RANDOLPH, CHET ATKINS & FLOYD CRAMER - YAKETY SAX
BOOTS RANDOLPH, CHET ATKINS & FLOYD CRAMER - YAKETY SAX
(in colour)
The video here is a live performance of YAKETY SAX - widely known as the closing music of THE BENNY HILL SHOW.
Jointly composed by saxophonist Boots Randolph and James Q. “Spider“ Rich, Randolph popularized the selection in his 1963 recording, which reached number 35 on the rock charts. It has since become Randolph’s signature work.
Randolph was inspired by a saxophone solo in the Leiber and Stoller song “Yakety Yak“, recorded in 1958 by the Coasters. The tunes are similar, and both feature the “yakety“ saxophone sound. Randolph first recorded “Yakety Sax“ that year for RCA Victor, but it did not become a hit until he re-recorded it for Monument Records in 1963; this version reached number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Guitarist Chet Atkins recorded a version of the song in 1965 called “Yakety Axe“. Atkins’ version used a similar tempo and showcased his country guitar picking style in place of a saxophone.
In 1971, Chet Atkins, pianist Floyd Cramer & Boots Randolph teamed up to record a studio album which included this song.
