Who is Kenny G?
Born Kenneth Bruce Gorelick, he became his stage name, Kenny G, when he began his journey as a successful saxophonist. He played music all his life, from a sideman for Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra to a piece in a funk band called Cold, Bold and Together. After a time of being a staple in The Jeff Lorber Fusion, he started his solo career.
He was a hit very early on, his second and third albums receiving platinum status in the U.S. His fourth album, Duotones, sold over five million copies - his single Songbird reaching No. 4 on the Hot 100 charts.
