What Does It Take Saxophone Music

This was a huge hit from the Motown label in the late 1960’s. Recorded by Jr Walker & the Allstars, it was his 2nd number one hit, the other being Shotgun.

Jr Walker was a rare Motown artist who fronted his band as a singer and a saxophonist as well. He had several hits and also played on other people’s records, most notably with Foreigner on their huge 1980’s hit “Urgent”.

Many artists have recorded What Does It Take but this backing track is similar to the Jr Walker original recorded version.

Our version here is transcribed in the same key as recorded by Jr Walker which is F major. This means G major for tenors and D major for altos.
