Songs with great saxophone








Comments:
I like the way you put them in rank order of quality.
 
Pink Floyd - "Us and Them"
Pink Floyd - "Shine on you Crazy Diamond Parts 1-6"
Pink Floyd - "Money"
Gerry Rafferty - "Baker Street"
Fishbone - "Party at Ground Zero"
Junior Walker - "Shotgun"
The Champs - "Tequila"
INXS - "Never Tear Us Apart"
Billy Joel - "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant"
 
maceo parker's album "life on planet groove" features some of the greatest, funkiest sax of all time.
parker, of course, was the saxophonist for the j.b.'s, james brown's early back-up band, which also featured fred wesley playing a killer trombone, if you can imagine that.
 
Oh, yeah-- I remember JB yelling "Maceo!"
 
one more

The Band - "It Makes No Difference"
 
Bobby Keys' sax solos on several Rolling Stones tunes including:
-Brown Sugar
-Live With Me (my fave)

He also plays on two great Lynyrd Skynryd tracks on their second LP, "Second Helping":
-Don't Ask Me No Questions
-Call Me the Breeze
 
Along with Shotgun, Junior Parker's "Roadrunner" is a classic tune with good Sax.
 
Where's Baker Street?!
 
"Glad/Freedom Rider" by Traffic!

Little Richard has some tunes with great sax solos like Rip It Up, Heebie Jeebies and more.
