What about "Lady Madonna"???? I hear a sax.

There are horns in "Got To Get You Into My Life"--but not sure if a sax is involved; definitely trumpets & maybe trombone

checked Wiki: Re: Lady Madonna

The saxophone solo was played by British jazz musician and club owner Ronnie Scott. The mix used in the single had much of Scott's saxophone playing removed, but the versions on Anthology 2 and Love[6] In a BBC documentary, Timewatch, McCartney explained the decision behind this saying that, at the time, Scott had not been impressed that his music had been hidden behind other instruments, so McCartney had decided to fix it with the most recent mix. feature a more prominent use of Ronnie's solo, at the end of the song.

Here's a tribute version with horns--I think there might be a sax in there...back row in the middle--he's kinda hidden

just a tiny bit off the subject, but while we're discussing the Beatles, I wonder if many of you recall the discussion we had prior to the recently released 16 CD remasters series? We were wondering if they'd be popular even though CDs themselves don't seem to be as vital as they once were. Well, I've since seen the 16 CD sets available online, brand new, for as little as 59 bucks. 9/13/2010

LADY MADONNA yes !!
GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE ...maybe....lost within the horn section of which trumpet and trombone dominate

saxophone was definitely not a defining element for The Beatles sound .....

although apparently not at John Lennon's resistance:



Ringo on the other hand
...where a Sax would've worked fine ....seemed to prefer the kazoo!!! (wide-eyed X 3)

you could NOT get away with this video today .....and it is creepy


odd to say this, but in this case did the sax work toward making this song less disco??
