Surely the greatest ever sax solo.

I have to put this on repeat. Right click, and choose 'loop'

Still play this to my kids. One of the most evocative and original rock instrumentals of all time. More of a musical journey than a composition. Thanks Wesley. You absolute legend.

[@lexicrane]

Many thanks for your kind comments.

This is the part of the song I could not get tired listening to over and over again...

Best sax piece ever ! Thine be the glory and thanks from the whole mankind, Wesley Magoogan ! ❤

In my humble opinion this has to be one of the most heart-rending emotional sax pieces ever written. Even after 20 years of listening to this it still gives me goosebumps! ! Inspired me to want to take up the Sax

Best Sax playing what every upcoming sax player wants to sound like

The sax solo by which all others are judged...and rightly so.

[@VimyScout]

Absolutely stunning - beautiful sax solo. Timeless!

[@PsyMongazoid]

This is an absolute masterpiece. And I'll be back again in the not too distant to listen to it yet again.

[@millibass]

The best music moment in my 62 years life. Thanks for that.

About time this masterpiece was back.😍🤗😍🤗

I never forget the walk home from Lancaster University after a Hazel gig. 21 miles back to Preston.

Best sax solo I've ever heard. Makes me want to go out and buy a sax and then learn to play it. Can only dream of playing it like this guy.

[@Riksermon123]

Just the best ever, I’m 54, Thank you for this Wesley..🥰x

This guy is so talented I've had a go at playing this track its really hard , he was signed up but with having a bad accident stopped this fantastic guy from playing , my heart goes out to him , when I've managed to get to grips with this song I hope I can do it justice :-)

[@Only-Me-Again123]

I used to play this through a DX 21, people used to think I had got you hidden away somewhere, the old pitch bend wheel + velocity was pretty good.

[@lexicrane]

That made me smile !

[@rubytuesday1345]

I recall seeing this film at the Odeon cinema in Tunbridge Wells with a girl (a Dutch au pair) so far out of my league it wasn’t funny. I was a penniless teenage wannabe rock musician and needless to say our relationship lasted about as long as the film. Always loved this song so much as it seemed to sum up my angst the excruciating hopelessness of my doomed infatuation with this blonde beauty. Thanks so much for the enduring memories Wes.

[@briantack2058]

Just WOW

[@lexicrane]

Wow, must have been 40 years ago. Is the box and museum still functioning ?

[@grassamupson]

@@lexicrane Hello Wesley, probably1985. Sadly the museum closed down over 20 years ago and as for the donation box I suspect it would see us all out it was that well made. Having had the pleasure of lugging it away many a night filled with the copper change from shop sales. Your dad was a character and I especially fondly recall when something annoyed Bob he would rumble away in his made- in- Scotland accent. He was a skilled man and that clearly runs in the family, it was clear he was quite rightly proud of your achievements. I have been putting together a playlist of music with lots of saxophone based tracks when I thought of you. Best wishes mate.

[@sarajones4111]

Del - Fantastic as it ever was when I first heard it all those years ago in Hastings - along with 'Steppin Out' Roger, Titch etc!!

[@nickmander6088]

This has to be by far the most monumental sax music score of the 80’s , the technical arrangement and phrases that make up this piece excel far beyond any other pop sax solo that I can remember with the exception of the iconic sax soundtrack One step beyond by Madness. Absolutely blinding skills from Mr Mcgoogan.

[@Berry-fr5wj]

Such a heart rending retort . We listened to this along with La Folie by The Stranglers among others , Phil Collins Face Value alas on sturdy cassette as we chugged our way towards The Falklands Conflict 1982 . We were post punks and burgeoning new romantics unaware of the horrors of warfare ( No, holiday in the Sun for us or the conscripts RIP ) You reminded us of home . Thank you

[@lexicrane]

Remember the Falklands well,scary times.

[@Stefsax]

Superb, does anyone have the fill in sax parts before the solo starts? Been tryto find them for ages. Pure brilliance Wesley.

[@lexicrane]

Learn them using your ears. I composed them all so I guess I learnt them at the same time.

[@Tony_Hughes]

Wesley have you ever 'liked' anybody elses rendition or attempt of this on youtube? Also can I find this song on Reel to Reel?

[@davidmenary6909]

Hi Wesley this is my favourite sax solo of all time. I play alto and try my best to emulate your playing. There is one thing that I am curious about, it’s all to do with developing a lush tone. I was taught to play the clarinet with my bottom lip rolled back over my bottom teeth and this is also how I play the saxophone. I think my tone is big and nice to my ears and the reed is free to vibrate because I minimise the pressure to allow this to happen. However these days it is generally accepted that pushing the bottom lip out away from being rolled over the bottom teeth gives the best tone improvement and should be the desired method to follow. So the question is really what was your bottom lip position to achieve such a great tone on this recording. Many thanks David

[@lexicrane]

I have tried both ways over the years and I continued to use the clarinet type embouchure with bottom lip over the teeth. A lot of old tenor players from 1940's used lip out. See Paul Desmond lip in Brubeck's Take Five. Best of luck.

[@davidmenary6909]

@@lexicrane Thank you for this information. I am happier to do the same as I do not feel as secure with lip out for the altissimo notes. Others would have you believe a great tone is not possible this way but your solo on Will You tells it all. Kind regards David
