Country Saxophonist Boots Randolph Dead At 80

His big hit was 1963's "Yakety Sax" which- I believe- was the British comic Benny Hill's TV show theme song.

Boots recorded more than 40 albums- many instrumental covers of country songs.

Mr. Randolph suffered a stroke in Nashville- the town he helped make famous- on June 25 and family removed life support Tuesday.
