Glenn Frey - "You Belong to the City"

If you don't know what every 1980s hit required, then you must be new to Growing Up Adult Contemporary.  (And, if that's the case, welcome!)  Every good 1980's hit must include the saxophone.  You could say that a good sax solo in 1985 is the modern-day equivalent to Pitbull dropping his own name in his songs ("Mr. Worldwide!").  Glenn Frey's "You Belong to the City" arguably has the second-best sax solo in all of music (with Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" being the best).  "You Belong to the City" appeared on the Miami Vice Soundtrack and quickly made it the best-selling TV soundtrack, and with good reason...just listen to that saxophone and try not to shit yourself.
