One of the most commercially successful American saxophonists to earn prominence since the 1980s, David Sanborn has released 24 albums, won six Grammy Awards, and has had eight Gold albums and one Platinum album. Having inspired countless other musicians, Dave has worked in many genres which typically blend instrumental pop, R&B and lately, more and more traditional jazz. He released his first solo album Taking Off in 1975, but has been playing the saxophone since before he was in high school when he was inspired by the great Chicago blues artists near his hometown of St. Louis.
Having contracted polio at the age of three, Dave was introduced to the saxophone as part of his treatment therapy. By the age of 14, he was able to play with legends such as Albert King and Little Milton. Dave went on to study music at Northwestern University before transferring to the University of Iowa where he played and studied with the great saxophonist JR Monterose.
Later traveling to California on the advice of a friend, he joined the Butterfield Blues Band and played Woodstock with Paul Butterfield. Following that, Dave toured with Stevie Wonder and recorded for Wonder’s Talking Book album, played with The Rolling Stones, and toured with David Bowie with whom he recorded the famous solo heard on “Young Americans”. At the same time, Dave was touring and recording with the great Gil Evans, dividing his time between the two. After moving to New York City and studying with George Coleman, Dave started his solo career where he later collaborated with such artists as Paul Simon and James Taylor.

Just like any wife who saw a photo on the Internet of her previously philandering husband sitting shirtless on a bar in a Barcelona nightclub with two young women, Vanessa Bryant was "embarrassed" and "furious" last week when she saw a photo of Kobe in a compromising spot at a Team USA basketball function in Barcelona, according to TMZ.
TMZ says Vanessa wasn't upset because she thought Kobe was cheating on her, she was upset that he allowed himself to get in a position where such a picture was taken. The couple has had a tumultuous public relationship. They recently called off divorce proceedings in an attempt at reconciliation.

Celebrity Pamela Anderson Sex Story - from Gossip Cop
Yes, the words “fake” and “Pamela Anderson” are often used together, but in this instance the fake part has less to do with the surgically enhanced bombshell than with the story circulating about her workout routine.
Basically, The Sun – and the dozens of blogs that routinely fail to fact-check – ran quotes from an alleged interview with Anderson in which she credited her good body and skin to – that’s right – sex. According to The Sun and others, Anderson said, “Looking good to me has always been because of the amount of sex I’m getting… I’ve hardly ever been a member of a gym and I can’t follow diets.”
Well, Gossip Cop suspected the story was somewhat phony, and even phoned a mutual friend of ours and Anderson’s, who told us that the “Stacked” star once gave somewhat similar quotes . . . but well “over a year ago.”
