Don't know where you got the info from but 'Beans' did NOT play bari on any of the songs you credited him with. All were played by Andrew 'Mike' Terry with the exception of 'What's going on' which was early 70s by which time Mike had left. Without going through every track, I can categorically tell you that Mike Terry played baritone sax on EVERY session that featured the instrument until he left Motown in 1966. His sound was never replaced and, unless it was a track recorded before his departure, the baritone wasn't used again. Bowles may have played flute on some tracks and may (and I say this cautiously) may have played tenor in the very early days, but it would have been less than a handful I can tell you. It was always an irritation to Mike the way Bowles would always be interviewed with his bari in the background or give the impression that he played bari on records but he did not. One musician actually told me that the top brass at Motown put Bowles on the road as tour manager in the early sixties to get him out of the studio. He certainly did not play baritone on any recordings after 1959. I have written an extended article on Mike (c 5000 words) and am working on his biography.” Best Rob Moss Mike Terry Biographer 5/12/2009 #22 IF YOU WANNA BE HAPPY-JIMMY SOUL GENE BARGE a/k/a DADDY G TENOR £30 KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY BABY- LITTLE EVA ARTIE KAPLAN TENOR lead with SAX SECTION #20 LET’S LIMBO SOME MORE-CHUBBY CHECKER ?
