Description

Written by Wilton Felder, arranged by David Van DePitte and produced by Johnny Bristol.

Autry DeWalt Mixon Jr. (June 14, 1931 – November 23, 1995), known professionally as Junior Walker, was an American saxophonist and vocalist who recorded for Motown during the 1960s. Walker was born Autry DeWalt Mixon Jr. on June 14, 1931 in Blytheville, Arkansas, and grew up in South Bend, Indiana. He began playing saxophone while in high school, and his saxophone style was the anchor for the sound of the bands he later played in.

You are the sunshine of my life. Killing me softly with this song. Disc 2 (with the charted hits Way Back Home, Groove Thang, Walk In The Night and Gimme That Beat ) features 1972’s Johnny Bristol-produced Moody J. and the 1973 set, Peace & Understanding Is Hard To Find which marked a change in creative direction with production by Motown stalwarts Hal Davis, Willie Hutch, Gloria Jones & Pam Sawyer and Junior himself.
