One of the many things we did right in the 80's was the sax solo in a pop song. From "Careless Whisper" to "Rio" to the Soul Glo jingle, the saxophone had you covered.

Sadly, by the turn of the millennium, the saxophone had slowly faded away. Where did we go wrong??

Well this guy on instagram is restoring the sax to its rightful place of prominence. His best work may be on Sia's "Chandelier". Anyway, pretty fun. We really could use some more sax in our lives.
