That solo by Wesley, is as near musical perfection as you can get. Balance of longing, rasping and straining notes amplify the emotion. Just wonderful.
Your sax playing inspired me to buy a second hand sax, unfortunately I can't play a note! Never mind, I'll just mime whilst listening to the track for now, must learn how play at some point. Btw, I have two alto saxophones. A truly moving saxophone piece!
Tony Visconti wanted the entire song repeated with me playing in my unique style. It was a combination of pieces I had had in my head for a while and it all came together. wesley
One of my favourite pieces of any music, utterly beguiling ,stunning performance,few saxophonists can ever come close to the emotion you put into it,best ever...and then some x
Never in life will a saxophone be played better than this. It is just mindblowingly beautiful many have tried to copy it but they don’t have the soul you gave this
A shiver runs down my spine every time i hear this song. The combination of Hazel O'Conner's voice and Wesley Magoogan's Sax is absolutely sublime. Music direct into my soul.
Thousands of very talented Sax players can play this, but not ONE of them in my opinion has ever captured the soul, and the magical feeling you get from Wesley. This is his and only his, its amazing, I could never ever get tired of this stunning work.
In 60 years time when this song is a century old Wesley, people will be watching/listening to this and going "wow what an incredible legacy to leave" (or something like that). Timeless, beautiful & simply will never tire of it.
Mr Magoogan excuse my bad english. I was a teen boy in a house very cold in winter. I was covering myself with blankets and waited for the radio station. Every night your saxophone in this song was warming up my hurt. I was a poor boy in a poor family. Every night i was listening to this song and i was crying for my life and for my family but every night i also knew that there was hope. You must know that this song kept my soul alive . Now i am 47 and i m crying as i write this comment to you. I have a warm room and i have plenty if food. Thank you from my hurt. A greek man.
Hazels voice and Wesleys sax combine to make one of the best songs ever written and played... this is real music, words with meaning and a sound to stir your sole.. utterly brilliant
The voice of this saxophone conveying deep emotion which we can find hard to express ourselves; so deep. This is what I look for in music - thank you Wesley Magoogan ❣
This is absolutely brilliant and the sax solo is so beautiful that it's terrifying. I'm 52 and loved this when it came out.. mainly for the sax. I loved Hazel too, of course. What a talent Mr. Magoogan. Thank you!
The best music moment in my 62 years life (and I heard a lot). This song, this vocal and especially this saxophone part are simply divine (the album version is even better).
That solo is immortality in the flesh. Long after Wes has gone,this will remain as a point of superlative excellence. I'm privileged to have witnessed it in it's originality.
this is music to die for. hazels voice and those great lyrics and my god wesely on that sax , each time i play this i get i chill in my spine and sometimes a few tears in the eyes. words fail me .it dosnt get any better thank you so so much hazel and wesley
This iconic saxophone piece defined the song for me, although the lyric is nicely done. It's the sort of composition that makes one wish they could play too. A top favorite of mine for decades, and on many mix playlists because I can "Air Sax" with my face screwed up with concentration on my commute (prompting more than one person to ask if I was having a "turn"). Thank you. Thank you muchly and very well done.
When I composed this,I wanted nothing to be repeated as an experiment.Well the experiment appears to have been ok ! Lots of people have their favourite sections which is cool. regards Wesley
Simply sublime. A master craftsman at work producing a masterpiece. 40 years later, with all of life's experiences and having dabbled musically myself, I appreciate this song and that incredible saxophone more than ever. Others may play it (and play it well) but Wesley owns it. I'd like to see Lisa Simpson have a crack at it though.
Wesley; this is part of my soul. I remember the first time I heard it at work. I still love it as much now. I am transported back as soon as I hear it. It's become part of me. Only music can do this and only an artist like you can realise the magic.
Along with the Baker Street saxophone this is just as magical and I could listen to it for hours. If I was ever able to play that sexy instrument then that’s how I would love to play it.
Still the best sax solo even after all the years, I always get goosebumps listening to it. So much feeling, Wes i still hope you are still sharing the magic
Just played this for my 22 year old daughter and she shed a tear or two, she said its a beautiful song and the Sax was sublime. Thanks Wesley for the moment.
THE best sax solo (piece and playing) that I have EVER heard, in my opinion. Loved it in 1980 and love it just as much today. Timeless; beautiful; captivating. 40 of my 53 years are so much better for having this song to listen to at various points along the way.Wish I had got the opportunity to hear it live.
Never has the Alto sounded better. Pure genius, even beats Baker St. I saw Wesley play this live back when he was still playing and my heart was in my mouth!
Yes, I agree, The Wesley's sax and the final solo especially is the best sax piece I ever heard, brings tears and goose bumps BUT, it is first a perfect response to the so emotional Hazel's lyricks
Randomly searching through UA-cam,clicking on links down the side and came across this song. I remember this from my teens and then the Sax solo ( Wesley Magoogan ) made my hairs stand on end and listening to it now does the same. Thank you Wesley Magoogan for the haunting sound of the Sax................
So glad I found this so I can tell the man himself how much I enjoy listening to this, I got the single in 1980 and have never tired of it, its my all time favourite piece of sax. I even started to learn to play in 84 but gave up after a few years after not having enough time to practice. Absolutely brilliant! Kind regards David, Scotland.
Thanks Wes (and Hazel, of course). I remember getting goose bumps to this as a youngster. My internet at home has gone all cocked-up and I'm sat in an internet cafe having listened to this for the sixth time tonight. Thanks Wes for making me look like a right pansy ;-) I'm sat here bawling my 'kin eyes out over a BRILLIANT sax solo, and all these "tough guys" are looking at me like I'm some kind of weirdo. Do I care? No. A 48 year old man crying over something..just..perfect. Thank you.
Ah that immortal sax playing by Wesley absolutely brilliant a really haunting end to one of Hazel’s best songs- a masterpiece in saxophone playing-a timeless classic 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
In my 50's now and have to say its still the greatest piece ever played on a sax. The amount of debates ive had with people saying Baker street. It doesnt hold a match let alone a candle to this line from Wes. Still sends shivers up my spine today, how one man doesnt play a sax but brings a crafted piece of metal to life like some wizard, and enchants it to sing beautifully, like female soprano singer. God ! If i wrote this let alone could play it i would have a statue built of myself 😁😁. Never will a sax line ever beat this
Wesley, this is one of my all time favourite songs. More than 4 decades on and I am still rendered somewhat emotional by your wonderful sax playing. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for creating something so beautiful.
I’m 56 and still listen to this regularly. I know a lot of sax players and have listened to gazillions of hours of sax music...this is by the far the best. People used to bang on about Baker Street, but your tone and composition are far superior. It’s simply, just a beautiful piece of music played in such a way that it moves you to the very core. It never ceases to make me feel this way, even after all these years. Thank you Mr G! X
This beautiful song has been sending electric shocks up and down my spine for over forty years. Wesley, your sax on this is completely transporting and ethereal ❤️
WOW...I have never heard that solo played so sinuously. This has always been one of my favourite songs since the time when I bought the album and watched the film back in the day. Oddly enough, even though I have a male voice, this is one of the songs that I can sing quite well. I think it's the sheer unashamed emotion in both the music and lyrics that takes me away.
What a phenomenal piece of playing. It is so evocative. You dont listen to it, you feeeeeel it. So powerful. An absolutely stunning piece of playing. Thank you for gifting it to us. Truly is a masterpiece.
OK So many of us oldies still think its the best sax solo we have ever heard. I agree with perfection but to be honest , you can hear the emotion in every breath. I may be wrong but I suspect Wesley was miles away, feeling every moment of that performance, the rise and fall of emotion is overwhelming, so much so that I don't mind admitting it still brings a tear to my eye after all these years. Its hard to find 'Exceptional' amongst the bland these days but that performance was truly exceptional and I am glad I lived to hear it. Thanks Wesley!
A wonderful, flawless performance which sounds every bit as fresh today. Wesley's impeccable sax is so much part of the song. It's up there with Tony Peluso's guitar solo on The Carpenters' Goodbye To Love. You just never want it to end.
Well, I've loved this track since the beginning and only just found out by watching this video the identity of the god who wrote and performed it! only taken me 35 years! Good grief! where did that go...? Best sax solo EVER!
I remember my mother playing this a lot when I was a child. The solo was stuck in my head ever since. Now I'm 36 and it's still one of my most favorite pieces of music.
+WESLEY MAGOOGAN This is the most amazing and brilliant example of sax playing I have heard in half a century. Congratulations on your staggering talent and thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Thank you Wesley and Hazel. This song is like finding an old treasure chest in a field of poo. Just fantastic, I appreciate it completely unlike when I was 12....😊
No one ☝️ can play this like Wesley.. it’s so good!!! In life we all have something ... just want to say thankyou.. it’s haunting and emotional at the same time.. watch the video to the film breaking glass.. and the sax in the background makes it so special.. not to mention Hazels acting.. her fascial expressions suffering and pain is something else.. we don’t make performances like that now..
Heard this at work yesterday walking round the warehouse. Took me straight back to the early 80s. I thought what a wonderful song it is. Sax is so touching.
the greatest song ever written accompanied by the world's best saxophone player. If my biography has ever hold a timeless melody inside to tell about the soundscapes of my life this song will be the chorus...forever.
I can't stop listening to this. I adore it and surely the sax solo must be the best ever composed and played. Nothing else compares, not even slightly.
Beautiful. Just utterly beautiful. I just heard this on the radio and suddenly I was 15 again! Totally transported. Loved the lyrics and Hazel's performance, but the sax never fails to bring me out in goosebumps. Thanks so much for posting
Brings memories flooding back, such a brilliant and emotional piece. I loved it in the day and still love it today. Its been such a crap year it was fantastic to hear this. Brought a tear to my eye. Thank you Wesley, so glad your still with us lol
As someone who got hooked by the smooth tones of the saxophone score, I can safely say that at the age of 59 I’m still hooked, I have 3 saxophones and that’s because of you Wesley , I’m not very good at playing them but I still love the uniqueness of there design engineering and the sounds that can be created, you sir will always be the top gun of sax. Thank you for brilliance ❤❤

That solo by Wesley, is as near musical perfection as you can get. Balance of longing, rasping and straining notes amplify the emotion. Just wonderful.
Wesley Magoogan - one of the greatest musicians I've ever heard
I'm still here and not dead yet !!!!!
Your sax playing inspired me to buy a second hand sax, unfortunately I can't play a note!
Never mind, I'll just mime whilst listening to the track for now, must learn how play at some point.
Btw, I have two alto saxophones.
A truly moving saxophone piece!
That was badass playing
@@soulreaver555 I play air sax nearly as well as air guitar. It just needs practice! My air drumming is pretty good too!
Love love love
Absolute Quality ❤️
Tony Visconti wanted the entire song repeated with me playing in my unique style.
It was a combination of pieces I had had in my head for a while and it all came together. wesley
This solo encapsulates everything that music is about, emotive beyond words🙏
Wes playing is the most beautiful sax I've ever heard. Thanks Hazel for writing this masterpiece and you Wes for playing it so suberbly. ❤️
👍💋💛
Wes co wrote that .
Great to hear that todays youth appreciate my composing and playing,nice one.
One of my favourite pieces of any music, utterly beguiling ,stunning performance,few saxophonists can ever come close to the emotion you put into it,best ever...and then some x
Sublime
Wesley Magoogan...true founder of the purist relationship of a human Soul and the Saxophone..period! Bless you for your immortal talent
Great work mate
Never in life will a saxophone be played better than this. It is just mindblowingly beautiful many have tried to copy it but they don’t have the soul you gave this
Without doubt, the best sax solo ever.
Amen!
Agreed, shiver enducing
@@mafbaby It really is . Awesome ❤
So true
after hazel o Conner ...will you
A shiver runs down my spine every time i hear this song. The combination of Hazel O'Conner's voice and Wesley Magoogan's Sax is absolutely sublime. Music direct into my soul.
Wesley. This is simply the best Sax solo played by the best saxophonist. Never to be repeated. Thankyou for my most favourite piece...…...
Many thanks James for your comment.
@@lexicrane Thank you Wesley. I love this song mainly for your saxo contributions. Its a great song, well balanced and very well performed!
WESLEY MAGOOGAN legend
True Legend !
Got his autograph when I met him ...a lot of years ago haha
I came here for that sax solo. After all these years it still sends shivers. Utterly stunning.
Thousands of very talented Sax players can play this, but not ONE of them in my opinion has ever captured the soul, and the magical feeling you get from Wesley. This is his and only his, its amazing, I could never ever get tired of this stunning work.
tom sowerby Yes you are so right
Peter Dolan m
Claire Hirst more than does it justice too
tom sowerby 👍
ile second that,...she`s spine chilling
In 60 years time when this song is a century old Wesley, people will be watching/listening to this and going "wow what an incredible legacy to leave" (or something like that). Timeless, beautiful & simply will never tire of it.
What a cool comment, many thanks.
That is just incredible, just wonderful Wesley. On another note, I hope Hazel is recovering well.

The voice of this saxophone conveying deep emotion which we can find hard to express ourselves; so deep. This is what I look for in music - thank you Wesley Magoogan ❣
Thank you for your lovely comment.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. The first note of the sax sees the goosebumps break out.
Without doubt the best sax solo EVER
This song and sax solo will be played at my funeral .
Imagine being able to play like this and haunt millions of people's hearts forever with its beauty.
This sax solo has never been surpassed. Just beautiful :)
Best sax solo ever? I would vote yes. Outstanding.
Yes the best.
Hell....just beautiful....I’m 56 and have loved this from day one..🥰x
Magical sax solo, charged with so much emotion - still unsurpassed
Performances like this are extremely rare. Thank God, someone recorded the track for us to enjoy. Brilliant music. Thank you.
Best. Sax. Ever. I burst out laughing with joy listening to this. Just what the doctor ordered
This is absolutely brilliant and the sax solo is so beautiful that it's terrifying. I'm 52 and loved this when it came out.. mainly for the sax. I loved Hazel too, of course. What a talent Mr. Magoogan. Thank you!
Cheers Roy for your well chosen words !
The best music moment in my 62 years life (and I heard a lot). This song, this vocal and especially this saxophone part are simply divine (the album version is even better).
That's got to be the greatest sax solo in musical history, Truly amazing
What a combo, the amazing Hazel O'Connor with the sexiest sax music of all time
That solo is immortality in the flesh.
Long after Wes has gone,this will remain as a point of superlative excellence.
I'm privileged to have witnessed it in it's originality.
this is music to die for. hazels voice and those great lyrics and my god wesely on that sax ,
each time i play this i get i chill in my spine and sometimes a few tears in the eyes.

The whole song is hauntingly beautiful but that Wesley Magoogan sax solo is just...😍

Wesley Magoogan, nonchalantly stepping forward at 26 seconds before eventually delivering the best sax solo ever
I just don’t get bored of this song no matter how many times I play it back to back timeless classic well done hazel and Wes .
Unforgettable. Etched in the musical memory of so many of us 80s kids. Thanks Wesley for acting as a conduit straight to our soul...
I'm up in the clouds with tears in my eyes, listening to this. OOh - that saxophone is mmmmm......
Never fails. Superb sax solo.
I was 15 now 55 and still love the chilling pice of wonderful magical musical sax and song !
When I composed this,I wanted nothing to be repeated as an experiment.Well the experiment appears to have been ok ! Lots of people have their favourite sections which is cool.
regards Wesley
My favorite section is from the first sax section till the very end. Not one note of filler is involved, perfection
Simply spine tingling beauty throughout, one of the most stunning pieces of music ever written ...
Simply sublime. A master craftsman at work producing a masterpiece. 40 years later, with all of life's experiences and having dabbled musically myself, I appreciate this song and that incredible saxophone more than ever.

Will always be my favourite bit of sax playing. Absolutely eerily brilliant.
I am 54 and still love this
I'm 50 so we're in the same ballpark 🏴
Still the best sax solo even after all the years, I always get goosebumps listening to it. So much feeling, Wes i still hope you are still sharing the magic

There never has been or ever will be a sax player like Wesley again,pure class,pure genius! You sir are a legend
was 13 when i first heard this song and everytime i hear it now , the sax solo just stops me dead ...... amazing stuff wesley
...still gives me goose bumps after 40 years. Legendary!! Thank you!!
Wow, that is a lot of goosebumps !
@@lexicrane My daughter feels the same but with a few less bumps! 😄
Best sax ever played in a song EVER. No contest.
I agree, it’s on another level to the likes of Baker Street or Careless Whisper that often get mentioned when discussing the greatest sax solo.
Hazel O'Connor. She was my idol. I loved Breaking Glass. Amazing.
Yes, I agree, The Wesley's sax and the final solo especially is the best sax piece I ever heard, brings tears and goose bumps BUT, it is first a perfect response to the so emotional Hazel's lyricks

To play a sax like that is a true gift MAGIC

Thank you, fantastic song, best sax solo ever!!! Welcome from Hungary!
Well, I've loved this track since the beginning and only just found out by watching this video the identity of the god who wrote and performed it! only taken me 35 years! Good grief! where did that go...?

Hi Conan great to hear from you,hope you are well.
+WESLEY MAGOOGAN , listening to you play still makes my eyes well up, and I was old enough to see Breaking Glass when it first came out. Thank you.
+Claire Sexton Many thanks Claire. This piece seems to become more poplar as time goes by. Wesley
+WESLEY MAGOOGAN This is the most amazing and brilliant example of sax playing I have heard in half a century. Congratulations on your staggering talent and thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Wesley king of sax
Loved it back then and STILL that haunting sax solo lives on. Thank You for posting this
Thank you Wesley and Hazel. This song is like finding an old treasure chest in a field of poo. Just fantastic, I appreciate it completely unlike when I was 12....😊
First heard this as a 15yr old, I was 55 last week and this still stirs me as much as it did in 1980 Absolutely brilliant Hazel and Wes
No one ☝️ can play this like Wesley.. it’s so good!!! In life we all have something ... just want to say thankyou.. it’s haunting and emotional at the same time.. watch the video to the film breaking glass.. and the sax in the background makes it so special.. not to mention Hazels acting.. her fascial expressions suffering and pain is something else.. we don’t make performances like that now..
Man that sax, simple chilling.
I think it's still the most iconic piece of saxophone on any popular music. The playing is amazing.
Heard this at work yesterday walking round the warehouse. Took me straight back to the early 80s. I thought what a wonderful song it is. Sax is so touching.
Thank you Wesley and Hazel your music lifts my soul and makes my day everytime i listen, love forever
When a solo that you have heard for the umpteenth time still gives you goosebumps years later, you realise what the definition of a great musician is.
the greatest song ever written accompanied by the world's best saxophone player. If my biography has ever hold a timeless melody inside to tell about the soundscapes of my life this song will be the chorus...forever.
What a wonderful comment,many thanks.
Simply the best sax solo of all time. Still my favourite song after 38 years and makes me shiver every single time I hear it.
Thank you Wesley.
Technically wonderful and so rhythmically smooth, by far the best Sax solo ever played ........Thank you
I can't stop listening to this. I adore it and surely the sax solo must be the best ever composed and played. Nothing else compares, not even slightly.
Still listening & still loving this magical tune...Always my "go-to" tune when i want to reminisce of the good old days in the 80s.Thanks.
Beautiful. Just utterly beautiful.
I just heard this on the radio and suddenly I was 15 again! Totally transported.
Loved the lyrics and Hazel's performance, but the sax never fails to bring me out in goosebumps. Thanks so much for posting
nice one Wes you n Hazel have made a classic!be proud mate!
Brings memories flooding back, such a brilliant and emotional piece. I loved it in the day and still love it today. Its been such a crap year it was fantastic to hear this. Brought a tear to my eye. Thank you Wesley, so glad your still with us lol
An utterly flawless sax solo....mesmerising!
This is the first piece of music I heard that made me fully appreciate the saxophone.
As someone who got hooked by the smooth tones of the saxophone score, I can safely say that at the age of 59 I’m still hooked, I have 3 saxophones and that’s because of you Wesley , I’m not very good at playing them but I still love the uniqueness of there design engineering and the sounds that can be created, you sir will always be the top gun of sax. Thank you for brilliance ❤❤
Nice one and keep on playing.
