Without a doubt, Kenneth Gorelick (63) is one of the most recognized jazz players in the world. Even so, much of the population does not recognize him by his name or his surname, but by his stage name, Kenny G, in addition to his defined curls. On the other hand, Kenny G also has great milestones that have propelled him to fame, such as his 17 Grammy nominations, having worked with Sinatra and Andrea Bocelli and, surprisingly, for appearing in the Guinness Book of Records for having executed the longest note with a saxophone: 45 minutes and 47 seconds. However, after the 1990s - his golden age - Kenny G's popularity did not hold in Europe andin Spain the trail was lost. Although, during these decades, Gorelick has caused a lot, but a lot of noise.

Kenny G's career began at age 10, in his native Seattle, when he sparked his interest in saxophone. According to numerous interviews, Gorelick was not as good as he thought at first. In fact, he didn't even make it to his school band the first time he auditioned. However, with a lot of practice, he finally managed to stand out. Thus, seven years later, when he was still in school, Gorelick got his first professional job when he was invited to participate in Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra. And since then, his career has been unstoppable. Above all, after he released his fourth album Duotones , in 1986, which reached the sixth position in the Billboard ranking and led him to worldwide success.

Subsequently, Gorelick worked on the soundtrack of the well-remembered movie The Bodyguard and his music was included in films such as Milagro en la calle 34 . He has also recorded 12 albums in total, which would have helped him forge a fortune of $ 100 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Despite this, not many musicians seem to support him in his triumphs. Moreover, several established jazz players have been against the music of Kenny, whom they consider too "simple". For example, jazz legend Pat Metheny said in 2000: "Kenny G is not a musician I have much to say about. (...) There wasn't much of what he played that interested me. My first impression was that He was a person who had spent a lot of time listening to pop-oriented sax music, but was not an advanced musician, even in that style. "

Also, those who don't want to be too close to Kenny G are Chinese politicians either. Because, in 2014, Gorelick attended a demonstration of the so-called umbrella revolution -related to pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong-, which caused stupor in China and of course, on Twitter. "In Hong Kong, witnessing the demonstration. I wish you all a peaceful and positive conclusion to this situation," Gorelick wrote, after the Chinese foreign ministry itself asked foreigners to stay out of it.

What happened after? Kenny G was rained by criticism on social networks . Even after deleting the tweet, saying that he had come to the demonstration by chance and that he did not support the protesters. "It is unfair for me to be used to say that I support them," he said then, according to the BBC. On the other hand, that has not been the only controversy in which the saxophonist has been involved in recent years. Because, in 2012, Gorelick generated numerous headlines for divorcing the mother of his children, with whom he had been married for 20 years. The reason? According to TMZ, the two allegedly had "irreconcilable differences". A concept widely used in Hollywood, which neither the musician nor his ex-wife decided to delve into before the press.

Despite this, the separation did not sleep Kenny's romantic side. Because recently it appeared in numerous media following a romantic gesture. In February 2019, rapper Kanye West asked Kenny G for a home serenade for Kim Kardashian. "It will be in a room full of roses, you will be among the flowers and you will play," West's publicist informed Gorelick then. However, neither he nor the influencer himself could have imagined how special (and media) that Valentine's Day would be. Similarly, Gorelick has also specialized in other surprises, because two years ago, he surprised with an impromptu concert in the corridors of an airplane.

In April 2017, Delta airline told its passengers that if they donated $ 1,000 (together) to the Relay For Life Foundation, Kenny G himself would delight them with a private show. So it was. However, the situation has not been repeated, although the saxophonist spends half his life on airplanes ... And, the other half, at his home in Malibu, where he practices his favorite sport: golf. A discipline that says it wants to experiment to the sound of its own emotions. "With the saxophone I learned the technique well enough to make it feel like part of my body. This is exactly how I want to get into golf," he told Golf Digest in 2008 , where he was presented as a great promise of the sport and, of course. , like the unrivaled idol of the saxophone.
