Happy Birthday Mel Collins! [View all]



Such a supremely talented and in-demand musician. According to Wiki he's worked with more than 40 acts over the years, including two stints with King Crimson, plus Bryan Ferry, Roger Waters, Robert Palmer, Phil Lynott, and The Rolling Stones to name a few. That's Mel playing the sax on "Miss You." I've had the good fortune to see him four times with King Crimson, twice with Camel plus one show with Joan Armatrading.
