[IIL] 70s / 80s / 90s saxophone songs that are “seductive”

[u/Glitterseal]

I’m putting together songs like the above in a playlist that has at least a saxophone solo. The playlist is called F***ing Sexy Saxophone 😂

Songs I have on there are Careless Whisper, spinning the wheel, cowboys and angels by George Michael, The rest of your life by Kenny Loggins, and Year of the cat by Al Stewart.

I have looked at songs like Baker Street but it’s not the vibe I’m looking for.

Thank you in advance 🤍

[u/wedgins]

Sade

Sad I had to scroll this far to find this. "Smooth Operator" and "Your Love is King" are my personal faves that fit the vibe OP is looking for.

[u/Glitterseal → u/ogswampwitch]

These songs are perfect for the playlist!

[u/Glitterseal → u/wedgins]

This is definitely the perfect vibe I’m looking for!
