      I agree B.F., and always have. I got to see them in '82 (the following year of release) at the Inglewood Forum as part of the '4' tour. Fantastic! There's an aspect to that sax solo that reminds me of something that would have been a hit in the sexy, fun Roaring '20s; not the total nightmare '20s we're in now. '4' was really Foreigner's last album for many, many fans. Lou Gramm was very unhappy about Mick Jones' decision to go the 'cry baby' ballad route of Journey with the next album featuring "I Want to Know What Love Is". Millions felt betrayed, still do. Regardless, this was a peak album with 'Juke Box Hero' 2nd runner-up to Urgent. That will never change. We'll always have those 4 albums.

      @@giggle_girrl2306 In this video it may be, but the album was recorded with Jr. Walker. He was in the studio at the time, and they talked him into doing a solo for them. He listened to the song, went to his studio, and gave them a tape with a few solos on it, and told them "I think you'll find something on there you'll like". I've always been curious as to if there were several to choose ftom, or just this one. Jr. Walker is one of my favorites ftom the 60s, along with his band. " Jr. Walker & The Allstars"

      Really? Ever heard of Charlie Parker? Sonny Rollins? I mean this player in this song does just fine and it’s a perfect solo for it’s place- but if you want to hear the “Stairway to Heaven” sax solo listen to anything that Charlie (Yardbird) Parker, John Coltrain, or Dexter Gordon played.
