The old song "Shame" by Evelyn Champagne King has a most wonderful saxophone throughout. It matches the song perfectly, wailing accordingly.  To this day, it's one of my top fave sax displays all the way to the end!  Check it out Bob.  Another favorite of mine is the sax in "Can't You Hear Me Knockin" by the Stones. Great instrumentation section later in the song with a fantastic sax!
