"Windplayer" magazine a number of years ago published an excellent article about the Memphis Horns including interviews with Andrew Love and Wayne Jackson.

As well as playing on all the hits with the Memphis Horns, Andrew Love played sax on the original "Takin' To The Streets" by the Doobie Brothers and the sax riff on the Nicolette Larsen song "Lotta Love" as well as many others. Apparently played a King Super 20 tenor with a Berg Larsen mouthpiece.

Rest in peace sax bro...

Great saxplayer. Both Love and Jackson were important to the Stax, Atlantic, Hi .... sound. When I think about the 2-piece horn section in Rock, Soul .... Memphis Horns is a milestone.
