In honor of classical music trumpeteer David Mason<\/strong>, who overdubbed the legendary piccolo trumpet solo on The Beatles’ “Penny Lane”<\/a> and who died today at 85 years of age, let us honor non-rock musicians known to rock music lovers primarily for their essential overdub on a rock ‘n roll song<\/em>. I stress the importance of these musicians being known primarily to rock fans for their overdub to exclude<\/em><\/strong> an already\u00a0legendary and likely known to rock fans non-rocker’s appearance on a rock recording, such as reknowned jazzman Sonny Rollins<\/strong>‘ solo on The Rolling Stones’ “Waiting on a Friend.” Got me?<\/p>\n

You may know these musicians’ names off the top of your head or you may look them up and list them here. But remember, this is a Last Man Standing<\/em> competition, so don’t bogart\u00a0that Comments box! You may enter as many entries as you like but only one entry per Comment, please.<\/p>\n
