If listeners didn’t know Hardesty’s name, they would certainly know his saxophone, which is heard on such Fats Domino-Dave Bartholomew hits as “Ain’t That a Shame,” “I’m Walkin’,” “Blue Monday,” “I’m Gonna Be a Wheel Someday” and even Lloyd Price’s 1952 classic “Lawdy Miss Clawdy.”

multiple olympian Sammy Leehttp://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/03/sports/sammy-lee-dies-asian-american-olympic-gold.htmlquoth wikipedia:
Lee's parents moved to Highland Park, a suburb of Los Angeles. At the time, however, Latinos, Asians and African-Americans were only allowed to use the nearby Brookside Park Plunge in Pasadena, on Wednesdays, on what was called "international day": the day before the pool was scheduled to be drained and refilled with clean water. Because Lee needed a place to practice and could not regularly use the public pool, his coach dug a pit in his backyard and filled it with sand. Lee practiced by jumping into the pit.
