The Saxophone
It was in so many songs in the 80's. It was a rock and pop staple and it added to the character of every song it was included in.
Clarence Clemons played with Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band....
Charles Dechant played a mean sax for Hall & Oates...
Greg Ham kept the reeds active for Men At Work....
Johnny Colla was the guy that Huey Lewis was talking to when he said "Johnny"....
Lee Thompson was the sax man for Madness....
Steve Norman made the Spandau Ballet song True into a classic with his sax....
Heck, even this guy (Rob Lowe) used a sax to seduce the ladies (in this case, Demi Moore) in St. Elmo's Fire...
But in the mid 80's that all ended. Ever wonder why?
Its because of this guy....
Yep, Kenny G killed the sax as a rock instrument. Thanks a lot, Kenny.
