The Memphis Horns were an American horn section, made famous by their many appearances on Stax Records. The duo consists of Wayne Jackson (November 24, 1941 – June 21, 2016) on trumpet and Andrew Love (November 21, 1941 - April 12, 2012) on tenor saxophone. An "offshoot of the Mar-Keys," they continued to work together for over 30 years. They lent their sound to 83 gold and platinum awards and over one-hundred high charting records, including Otis Redding's "Sitting On The Dock of the Bay," Al Green's "Let's Stay Together," and Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds."
