He was the "best of the best" saxaphone/singer/frontman/sideman/harmonizer/showman, that anyone could wish for. In his past, He grew up with & worked with Ray Charles & Quincy Jones, amongst his years of playing music. I had the privilege of working with him during my music experience in Anchorage, in the 70s, along with Derek Newman, a super keyboard specialist. Big Milt was born on January 11, 1927 in Wichita Falls, TX. Walton became an Alaska resident in the year 1964 and stayed a resident for 48 years. He will be missed by all, I'm sure!
