By request, here’s my short version of Jazzman by Carole King The inspiration behind “Jazzman” was a real-life musician named Rahsaan Roland Kirk. He was an American jazz multi-instrumentalist who played the tenor saxophone, flute, and many other instruments. Carole King had the opportunity to see him perform in the late 1960s, and she was inspired to write “Jazzman” as a tribute to his music. #caroleking #jazzman Carole King #dollyrappaport #blueeyedsoul #coversong | Dolly Rappaport
