Greatest Sax Riff Ever

Clarence Clemons is another outstanding saxophonist. His "Jungleland" comes to mind right off the bat.

His solo on "Born To Run" (Bruce and the E Street Band) is memorable also. 8)
 
Anything laid down on tape by Hank Cosby of the Motown Funk Brothers; along with riffs by Sam "The Man" Taylor or "King Curtis" Owsley on dozens of early Atlantic/Atco/Cat Records sessions-that's Taylor on "Shake, Rattle and Roll," with Jerry Wexler, Ahmet Ertegun and Tom Dowd (Wow...what a lineup of R&R Hall Of Famers!) as backup singers; and King Curtis on all the Coasters Atco releases, along with Mike Stoller on piano).

Speaking of Motown, an answer for a friend to his question: Who is talking in the studio deadroll prior to the accepted take on the unedited version of "Dancing In The Street," complete with slate and studio count-off? (I've got several dozen raw versions of Motown hits like this.)

The voices are those of bandleader Earl Van Dyke, producer/co-writer William "Mickey' Stevenson-also Kim Weston's husband,
drummer supreme William "Benny' Benjamin, percussionist/co-writer Marvin Gaye, lead singer Martha Reeves, and Van Dyke again with the count-off into the take.
 
Can't argue with any of the above - all great artists. 8)
