## Resource

Jazz legend Sonny Rollins, who died at 95, reshaped the genre with his groundbreaking saxophone style and collaborations spanning decades—from Miles Davis to John Coltrane. His unexpected 1981 stint with the Rolling Stones on “Waiting on a Friend” became a chart-topping hit, surprising even him when he heard his solo blaring from a supermarket. Though he declined touring with the band, calling their music “derivative,” he embraced the crossover success as proof of his unmistakable voice. Awarded two Grammys, a Lifetime Achievement Grammy, and a Kennedy Center Honor, Rollins retired in 2012 after respiratory issues ended his final stage run.
