I like the sax in is and them
Sax Appeal Us and Them*
Raul Mejia great comment!!
I love supertramp
Dude, thanks for posting this. Even is it was 8 years ago when I was 23. 23 year olds don’t understand what good music is.
Same man, I was around that age too 8 years ago. You're very welcome.
I personally think the sax solo in Jungleland is the best sax solo of all time, also played by Clarence Clemons
Ricky Lahey ricky, ha. He used that name in an episode. Also jugleland is the best
Baker Street solo. One of a kind, never be equalled.
He is the
Man, love his music, thanks
listen up i just told u number 1
absolutely
Sweeet.. I heard "Born to Run" on the radio this morning and have that sax solo stuck in my head all day but couldn't remember a single word! Been searching for the song for like an hour, thanks so much! Great other picks too!
Woah woah woah guy, this video needs to be flagged for content. You can't just have something this sexy out there for anyone to see
Fuck yeah to sexy.. I'm with you
Just too saxy.
penis!
You belong to the city - Glenn Frey
Finally... Baker street! You saved my day, thank you!!!!
I am a learning sax myself and I love these!!!
Pink Floyd- us and them. That solo gave me the chills :)
seen it played live several times
What a great selection, congrats and thanks for recopilation! Who´s listening in 2021?
I totally agree except for one part. Clarence's best solo was totally Jungleland
I'm with ya on that.
My thoughts exactly
Also turn the page was Bob segers best
Thanks for posting this. It's good to hear all the greats together in one place. Good research for my practices and rehearsals.
Urgent, us and them, shine on you crazy diamond...
yes again seen that 1 played live several times that what they opened with in 87 in Lexington
Chills down my back from these solos
Year of the cat and careless whisper are my two favourite 👍🇬🇧♥️🙏
Men at Work (the late Greg Ham on tenor) "Who Can It Be Now", (Greg Ham again on soprano) "Overkill", and can't forget Romeo Void (Benjamin Bossi on tenor) "A Girl in Trouble". These are a couple of my early 80's favorites. 79' The Chuck Mangione Band featuring (the late Gerry Niewood on tenor) "Give it all you Got". And then there's late 60's thru 70's, and early 80's Chicago - (Walter Parazaider on flute, soprano, alto, and tenor) song that features him well "Just You & Me"
'Walk on the Wild Side' - Lou Reed, 'Us and Them' - Floyd, 'Will You' - Hazel O'Connor, 'Sweet Virginia' - Stones.
Rock in Paradise Alto Reed
The 80's had a lot of great sax songs
I've been searching agonizingly for the song/artist Baker Street for years. Not knowing any info on has been a painful search. THANKS for posting this. Awesome!!!
Just what I was looking for, right in the intro. Thanks!
Thank you so much, i was going nuts trying to figure the name of the song for number 2 on the list, you are a life savior sir
Αξέχαστες επιτυχίες σημάδεψαν εποχές!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! LOL I have had Baker St in my head for 3 days!!!! The saxaphone was the only thing I could remember!! Lol this video saved my brain!!!!!
A sax player named alto reed, your kidding right?
Nope, although Alto Reed is just a stage name. His real name is Thomas Neal Cartmell.
Both the fictional band Eddie & the Cruisers and the real band (John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band) had the same [professional] sax player. In the film, his character name was Wendell Newton; in real life, he's Michael "Tunes" Antunes.
Great List.
2:30 thank you man! I was looking for this song and had no idea who played it xp
Tears For Fears' The Working Hour definitely deserves to be on this list. Mel Collins of King Crimson just dominates and kills it! Still amazing.
Thank you so much! I've heard it before but forgot the name.
I cannot complsin....Great job assembling these clips!
great list
careless whisper by George Michael, one of the most famous sax solos and easily recognizable
class selection dude!!!
Good selection. Don`t know if these are the best but definitly are really good. Thanks for educating us! ! !
As ever, "the Best music", like beauty, is in the Ear/Eye of the perceiver. Completely subjective.
That Baker Street solo inspired me to pick up the saxophone. still playing after 40 years.
Best video on UA-cam ever!
wow...love it
Thank you very much
amaizing i alreaddy found the sound i've been looking for!!!
I believe the sax and real rock were made for each other. Gerry Rafferity truly used it well
Bro forgo about drums
"Dire Straits - Your latest trick" should have been there
Absolutely mate!!!!!!!!!! :) Probably best and sweetest melody ever...
No one could play the sax better than Clarence
Very true
excelent!
george michael- Careless whisper. one of my favorite songs, currently tied with Chris Isaak's Wicked Game on my list of faves.
Awesome
Low spark of high heel boys ~ Traffic
listen to on the road live in germany best alltime recorded version best sax alltime
love it
Shine on you crazy diamond by Pink should be here
We can't forget Who Can It Be Now
What a pity Mr. Ravenscroft already plays in heaven. But- that is the best place for him, because he plays like an angel.
Clarence Clemons Jungleland - Burce Springsteen
Careless Whisper -George Michael
1. I'm going to throw in 'Take the long way home' by Supertramp. Yes I know it's a clarinet, but it's worth a mention.
2. 'The logical song' also by Supertramp, as has been mentioned elsewhere.
3. 'The working hour' by Tears for Fears with Will Gregory on Sax - an outstanding song in so many ways.
Thanks to this video I was able to satisfy my curiosity of a single certain Sax piece that had been bugging me for the past hour and a half. For the whole time I was trying to figure out something. The answer was Bob Segar’s sax piece
The sax solo in Supertramp's "Logical Song" is transcendent.
Great list. Same taste as what I have for saxophone music
70's poco "heart of the night" has a unforgettable rift half way in.
great to see & hear my old mate Phil Kenzie at No 3 on the list. Played with him for many years back in the Liverpool/Hamburg/London etc days. He was good then too. Check him out.....
nice top !
David Sanborn's solo career has garnered him six Grammys; he should rank higher IMO, as should Sonny Rollins. Phil Kenzie (Al Stewart's 'Time Passages') and Raphael Ravenscroft (Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street') performed two of my all-time favorit sax solos. All-in-all, good list.;)
Gracias
careless whisper - george michael
I learned all these songs!
Thanks!!!
Strong freakn' list!!! Would have love to see one or two Eddie Money tracks in there. I was totally unaware of some of those colabs.
BAKER STREET FTW
the intro was the one I was looking for lol
you missed Foreigner's URGENT with Jr. Walkers hot sax solo
Amen to that... The Logical Song FTW!
Thanks I was looking for the song I don’t know the name, now I got it “Baker Street” by Jerry Rafferty. 👍
the first sax music...my first dance and first kiss...............
Thought Phil Kenzi's sax solo on Al Stewart's Song on the radio was slammin! So great! I'm disappointed that it wasn't on the list as well!
couldn't agree more with the first place
well cooooooool
Raphael Ravenscroft ❤❤❤❤
The instrumental bridge in Deacon Blues does it for me every time, though that's more of a ballad...
@Geoff Angus - that tenor sax licks on that song and "FM" done by Pete Christlieb for Steely Dan. My favorite sax work of all time.
Thanks, very nice groupings I Googled for "Phil Kenzie" for his work with Al Stewart and found this. Also may suggest Steve Gregory on Chris Rea's "Fool If You Think It's Over." Clarence Clemons is great as the "big man on the sax."
thought the bari/tenor solo in Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond was pretty awesome. Also, the tenor sax solo in the Rolling Stone's Can't You Hear Me Knocking was damn good as well.
The first song is called I'm never gonna dance again by George Michael. Another group called Seether made an attempt at playing it as well.
Agree! Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
JOJO.. Boz Scags.. A can't miss on this list.
it has been written in the top of the comment section for 7 months..
The ones I find myself going back to again and again are Rollins’ work with the Stones. His cool restraint is timeless. Lots of sax gods on this list though!
What about the solo in Urgent by Foreigner?
That's what is was thinking!
Junior Walker was a great sax player!
100%
Positive Touch Steve Perry one of the most underrated Songs and sax solos of all time if u haven’t heard it go Now!!!!
now I know the title!!! thanks!
David Bowie's 1975 album "Young Americans" is a MUST for all who are passionate about saxophone in popular music.
Veryy good!! my favorite Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
Careless whisper by George Michael
Thank you for including Canatta's brilliant work on the most underrated song ever written "Scenes from An Italian Restaurant"
hey anyone know what is the very first song before the countdown?
if anyone answers it will be greatly apreciated
" Careless Whisper " by George Michael . The sax is so sultry & soulful !
The list failed to included to sensational tenor solo on Huey Lewis " Heart of Rock & Roll " by Johnny Colla
Careless Whisper by George Michael
David Sanborn also played the solo in The Eagles' The Sad Cafe.
RIP Big Man :(
Junior Walker's sax solo in 'Urgent' by Foreigner way outdoes all of the solos presented here.
Sonny Rollin's solos are amazing.
