R&B, Surf,doo-wop, rock and pop all had a tenor (usually) wailing in the middle of the 2 and 1/2 minute tune.<br />I grew up on this. and still wail on my tenor to this day.Rev. bIGhIGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459364451518001062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-18115732325499448532014-08-17T05:52:34.449-04:002014-08-17T05:52:34.449-04:00Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" may ...Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" may not be technically 80's (1978), but surely its superb sax solo is what influenced all those subsequent solos in this article.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-41332620447130987202013-04-21T10:08:15.491-04:002013-04-21T10:08:15.491-04:00I did a list of my Top 20 80s Songs with Sax Solos...I did a list of my Top 20 80s Songs with Sax Solos several years ago and you may be interested in checking it out><br />http://OldSchool.tblog.com/post/1970096974<br /><br />I think you'd enjoy a lot of what we do over at Kickin' it Old School and hope you stop by often.OldSchool80shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360446517390771381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-91106630028948768792013-04-19T09:08:37.456-04:002013-04-19T09:08:37.456-04:00Great post!!

I am reminded of the movie St. Elmos Fire where the incidental background music seemed to have sax often... and where one of the characters ("Billy") played sax in a band. ** sigh** To be back in the '80s, in the St. Elmo's Fire bar in my own mind, with a saxy song playing in the background.Lazlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02037087843637735080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-28372004063900307662013-04-18T21:47:59.831-04:002013-04-18T21:47:59.831-04:00My Little Corner -- not familiar with any of John ...My Little Corner -- not familiar with any of John Tesh's songs...not really into Michael Bolton...I picked songs that I liked and remember most for their saxworthiness.

The sax was played by lead singer Rindy Ross.<br />Other great sax songs of the 80s would include "Walking In My Sleep" by Roger Daltrey, "Waiting On a Friend" by the Rolling Stones and "Same Ole Ange Syne" by Dan Folgleberg (Forgive my spelling).
