A phenomenally successful instrumentalist, Kenny G's sound has been a staple on adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio since the mid-'80s, making him a household name. Kenny Gorelick started playing professionally with Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra in 1976. His fourth solo album, Duotones (which included the very popular "Songbird"), made him into a star. Soon he was in demand for guest appearances on recordings of such famous singers as Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and Natalie Cole. Kenny G's own records have sold remarkably well; his total album sales top 30 million copies. The holiday album, Miracles, released in 1994, and 1996's Moment continued the momentum. He also recorded his own version of the Celine Dion/Titanic smash "My Heart Will Go On" in 1998. The following year, he released Classics in the Key of G, a collection of jazz standards. In 2002 Kenny G dipped into tropical territory with Paradise. Perhaps in a bid to shake up his discography a bit, in 2004, Kenny G released At Last...The Duets Album, which featured "duets" with LeAnn Rimes and Chaka Khan. Two years later, smooth jazz's king of the soprano sax returned to a purely instrumental approach on the brassy, big-band-inspired albums Holiday Collection and I'm in the Mood for Love. In 2008, Kenny G released the Latin-inspired Rhythm and Romance. The sax player next drifted toward R&B for 2010's Heart and Soul, which featured guest vocals from Robin Thicke and Babyface. In 2012, Kenny G released Namaste. He continues to wow audiences all over the world.
