Somewhat of a discussion today on FB regarding technique and favoured opinions of guitar players - So what is your favourite solo on a song that is not a guitar solo 

3 from me to get it going

Hazel O'Connor - Will You Just Politely - sax solo - mainly the long fade out
Steely Dan - FM - again sax solo by Pete Christlieb  - and again the long fade out
Nat King Cole - Let there be love

    Duran Duran's Rio sax solo with a kick ass bass.

    Nice sax solo that integrates perfectly with Mick Taylor's guitar solo.
