The Hot Horns of Rock, Pop, Soul, Rhythm & Blues

[Silkie]

Not sure whether this might have been better in 60s/70s, but how many rock & roll, pop, R&B or even soul tunes can you think of in which there was a prominent presence of a brass section? More than we tend to think, perhaps.

We have practically anything and everything from Chicago, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Herb Alpert, but what about the influence elsewhere?

Technically a reed, one of the woodwinds. No argument as to Clarence's greatness on the sax, however.
