Mit seiner Band Jr. Walker and the All-Stars war er der einzige bei dem stilbildenden <a href="Soul" title="Soul">Soul</a>-Label <a href="Motown_Records" class="mw-redirect" title="Motown Records">Motown Records</a> unter Vertrag stehende Instrumentalmusiker, der bei dieser (ansonsten ausschließlich für ihre Sänger berühmten) Firma Aufnahmen unter eigenem Namen einspielen konnte. Der größte Erfolg der Band Jr. Walker and the All-Stars war ihr Erstling Shotgun, der im Jahr 1965 Platz 1 der <a href="Billboard_(Magazin)" title="Billboard (Magazin)">Billboard</a> <a href="Rhythm_and_Blues" title="Rhythm and Blues">R&B</a>-Charts erreichte. Im weiteren Verlauf der 1960er Jahre konnte die Band einige kommerziell ähnlich erfolgreiche „Party-Hits“ lancieren, darunter eigene Stücke wie I'm A Road Runner (1966), aber auch <a href="Coverversion" title="Coverversion">Coverversionen</a> von beliebten Motown-Sängern wie <a href="Marvin_Gaye" title="Marvin Gaye">Marvin Gaye</a>, etwa How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You), ebenfalls aus dem Jahr 1966.

Die All Stars waren – abgesehen von den Anfangsjahren, die nicht auf Tonträger dokumentiert sind – keine Band mit fester Besetzung, sondern sie setzten sich aus verschiedenen, bei der jeweiligen Session verfügbaren <a href="Studiomusiker" title="Studiomusiker">Studiomusikern</a> von Motown zusammen. So spielt beispielsweise auf der Einspielung von Shotgun der erst posthum zu weltweitem Ruhm gelangte Bassist <a href="James_Jamerson" title="James Jamerson">James Jamerson</a>.

Jr. Walkers bekanntestes <a href="Solo_(Musik)" title="Solo (Musik)">Solo</a> ist jedoch nicht auf einer seiner eigenen Produktionen zu hören: 1981 spielte er (angeblich als sogenannten First Take und ohne mit dem übrigen Stück vertraut zu sein) eine kurze Studiositzung für den Gitarristen und spiritus rector der britisch-amerikanischen Band <a href="Foreigner" title="Foreigner">Foreigner</a>, nämlich <a href="Mick_Jones_(Musiker%2C_1944)" title="Mick Jones (Musiker, 1944)">Mick Jones</a>, deren Resultat kurze Zeit später als Teil des Songs Urgent um die Welt ging. Von Kollegen wie <a href="David_Sanborn" title="David Sanborn">David Sanborn</a> und <a href="Grover_Washington%2C_Jr." title="Grover Washington, Jr.">Grover Washington, Jr.</a> wurden diese 16 Takte als eines der bedeutendsten Saxophon-Soli im <a href="Popmusik" title="Popmusik">Pop</a>- und <a href="Rock_(Musik)" class="mw-redirect" title="Rock (Musik)">Rock</a>-Bereich gewürdigt.
