HARRIS JR. Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, The Wall Street Journal, May 4, 1981 STUDIO CITY, Calif. The four gold records hanging on Chuck Findley's livingroom wall commemorate his trumpet playing on hits by the Carpenters, the Rolling Stones. Helen Reddy and Boz Scaggs.
I was hoping he would have talked about his James Last experience, where he played alongside Keifer, and the brilliant Derek Watkins (rip). That was the pulling power of Last (100 000 000 records). He attracted the best from all disciplines. That plus J.L's unique arrangements.
Fascinating....He ain't wrong about the bends in Close To You. I've split them myself! BTW I suppose it's not strictly a flugal solo, because he is tracked with himself..details :)
Oh, those scooped notes in Close to You kill me whenever I have to play them. Thanks, Chuck! LOL.

Agree Brian! The same with Ack van Rooyen who played with Bert Kaempfert in his German days. They never talk about these periods in there lives.
