Three musicians changed my perspective on music. A rock and Roll Star, and two saxophonists.
Buddy Holly
King Curtis
Clarence Clemons. RIP Clarence

Gary - I'm pretty sure King Curtis was the guy that changed it all for Mr. Clemons.

By the way, his nephew Jake is killer on sax too, and plays a lot with another of my favourites, Glen Hansard.
