Performing with the band Pockets, featuring Tata Vega with Bill Champlin on the Otis Redding classic "Try A Little Tenderness."

Although a saxophonist himself, Craig's vocals are in demand for other saxophonists' recordings, this time with the late E Street Band's Clarence Clemons, for two songs on his "Hero" album. First up is "Cross The Line" written by Meade Brown, Lloyd Landesman, and "Christina" written by Narada Michael Walden and Jeffry Cohen
From the movie "Maid To Order" starring Aly Sheedy, Merry Clayton, and many other well known actors, Craig sings "I'm On My Own" written by Ralph Jones. The song starts at 3:55 in the video......
Since Craig is both an accomplished saxophonist AND vocalist, here's a session where he plays and sings on the same track.....with Jermaine Jackson, on the song "Next To You."
