"Jazzman" is a 1974 song performed by Carole King, from her album ''Wrap Around Joy''. King provided the sheet music for the song, while David Palmer (formerly of Steely Dan) wrote the lyrics. The song is best known for its lengthy saxophone solos, performed by Tom Scott, while King sings an ode to "the Jazzman" and the effect he has on her. Curtis Amy, saxophonist, composer, and former musical director for the Ray Charles band, was the "jazz man" of the song. The single quickly rose to No. 2 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart in November 1974.〔(''It's never too late baby'' by Ken Barnes, USA Today 24 April 2004.
