Fifty years ago..............................

Boots Randolph................................Yakety Sax



Homer Louis Randolph III, aka "Boots",  first recorded this tune in 1958.  It did not become a big hit until it was re-recorded on the Monument label in 1963.   The song reached the #35 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.  Faithful viewers of The Benny Hill Show (post 1969) may recognize this as its theme song.
