Subject: 80s instrumental song
Written By: HersIsAngels on 08/12/03 at 00:24 a.m.
Does anybody remember any 80s songs that were instrumentals(i Think ) and had a saxophone as the lead instrument. Possibly a song from a movie. I can only think of you belong to the city by Glen Frey but that has words. I think the song I'm thinking of is an instrumental.

You might be thinking about "Love Theme" from the St. Elmo's Fire soundtrack, an instrumental with a saxophone lead.

Are you thinking of "Songbird", a very mellow instrumental piece released in the late 80s?

I think there may have been an all instrumental version of "You Belong To The City." Another 80's instrumental that I can think of right now is "Axel F."

If the song had an up-tempo, you may be thinking of "One Step Beyond" by Madness.

Tina Turner's "One Of The Living" (from the mid-80's) is not an instrumental, but it had a long saxaphone lead. It was also featured in the movie "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome". Could this be the song you're looking for?

You'are not thinking of "Lilly Was Here" are you?
It is a movie and the main Theme is "Lilly Was Here" by Dave A Stewart (of the Eurothimics) and Candy Dulfer (Alto Sax Player).
Hope this helps.

could you be talking about an 80's song that has a saxophone solo? It is heard on "Pretty in Pink", however, it's not on the soundtrack. It only plays for a few seconds. A guy sings it for about 2 and 1/2 minutes and then the saxophone solo comes in. I'm looking for it as well, I'll keep you posted if I find out what it is.

Still havent heard the song yet. I hear it on tv sometimes for one of those compilation cd's. I'm pretty sure it's not Kenny G. I think it was a one hit wonder type song. I also think it was from some movie.

I was going to say it might have been the fabulous JAN HAMMER, who made spectacular instrumentals back in early 80's, but I don't think they used saxophones that much.... ???

Oh! I have to say I loved the theme from St. Elmo's Fire (I also thought Rob Lowe was such a babe! :P) and the other theme from Miami Vice.
That's all I have to say! :)

I'm sorry. I was wrong. The song I was thinking of was Gerry Rafferty singing Baker Street. I wonder if this was in a movie? I'm just glad I finally found it out.

There was a song that used saxophones called 'Garden Party' by a group called Mezzoforte. It hit the UK charts and was classed as Jazz Fusion. It's a nice song if you haven't heard it already.
It's one of the few songs that haven't been mentioned here.

Wierd. I was looking for the same song just a month or two ago. I heard it on a simpsons episode and it sparked a memory. When I was reading the top of the msg, I said baker street immediately :) If only I had seen the post sooner!! :)

LOL
When I saw Angela's question, I knew exactly which song she meant. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember the name or artist either!
And then last week after she posted the answer, I heard it on the radio! Some help :)
