Kenny G - "Silhouette"

If we've learned anything about 1980's music, it's that no song was complete without the saxophone.  In certain rare instances, songs even ditched the vocals in favor of all saxophone (a phenomenon known as: NBS or "nothing but sax").  Enter Kenny G whose hair looked much like that of Howard Stern and whose sound exemplified a new radio genre known as "smooth jazz".  Kenny's instrumentals found their way into mainstream music starting with the song "Silhouette" in 1988.
