    the best sax version of unchained melody... kudos

      It’s definitely excellent, but I have to disagree. Boots Randolph did it best, in my opinion.

      @@TheMinecraftACMan I didn't even know who Boots Randolph was, but due to your comment, I looked him up. I agree that Boots Randolph did it best, in your opinion, because in my opinion, Johnny Ferreira far surpasses the skill that Boots Randolph seems to portray. I don't know why he kept stopping and blowing out short notes, but it interrupted the piece and really ruined the mood. Johnny's version is so smooth in comparison. I won't bash Boots entirely, as I only listened to this one tune, but if he stops and "enunciates", chopping up the tunes of everything else he plays, then it really is going to be a deal breaker for my opinion of his music. I know. Like my opinion matters, but still. Thanks for introducing a new musician, all the same.
