One of my all time favorite you tube videos. I don't know if this fits your description, but if you like brass, you'll love this, from the movie BRASSED OFF.

Fats Domino was known for his awesome rhythm sections on his records, led by saxophonists Herb Hardesty and Lee Allen (Walking with Mr. Lee) Here's Lee Allen with a robust saxophone solo.

The Lonely Bull by Herb Alpert and the TJB was the first one that came to mind but this is the first one I thought of that wasn't purely instrumental, or just backing horns.

Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street

 

[Woof 101]

This thread has to have King Curtis early in. One of the all time greats that played on so many records in his day as the studio sax man. Also his solo stuff while being the leader of Aretha's band for years.

 

[Aluminny69]

This official video always brings a smile to my face.

With Tower of Power horn section, Greg Rollie on vocals and 16 year old Neal Schon on lead guitar. Rollie and Schon would later go on to start Journey.
