Yep, that’s me blowing my face off on# the sax solo on "French Kissin' in the USA" by Debbie Harry from the Rockbird album, produced by Seth Justman. I heard the composition in my head and Seth went with it. It remains one of my favorite if not my favorite sax solo of my career. In the United Kingdom, the song was released as the album's lead single on and became Harry's biggest chart hit, reaching number eight on the UK Singles Chart and becoming her solo Top 10 single there. In the United States, the song climbed to number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100. Crispin performed with Debbie Harry for a live performance of "French Kissin' in the USA" and "In Love with Love" on Saturday Night Live (SNL). #debbieharry #blondie #rockbird #sethjustman #frenchkissingintheUSA #studiomusician #saxophonist #saxophone

Lyrics
I wanna mambo, sambo, do my number
Hold my baby all the summer
Every time I hear that mellow saxophone
I wanna rip it, rock it, really bop it
Flip it, flop it, Davy Crockett
Every time I hear that mellow saxophone
I wanna rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll
Bop, bop, bop
I wanna rip it, rock it, really bop it
Whooo, Davy Crockett
Every time I hear that mellow saxophone
I wanna rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll
Bop, bop, bop
I wanna mambo, sambo, do my number
Hold my baby all the summer
Every time I hear that mellow saxophone
I wanna rip it, rock it, really bop it
Flip it, flop it, Davy Crockett
Every time I hear that mellow saxophone
I wanna rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll
Bop, bop, bop
I wanna rip it, rock it, really bop it
Flip it, flop it, Davy Crockett
Every time I hear that mellow saxophone
Every time I hear that mellow saxophone
Every time I hear that mellow saxophone
