Hello, I'm trying to locate the name of a song (possibly from the 80s) with a famous saxophone line. Haven't been able to track it down yet via various searches on Google. I have a jpeg of a rough estimate of part of the song in music notation, however I can't find a way to include images in this post. Thus I've made it available through You Send It at:

Hi all, I managed to produce a crude approximation of the tune on a PC synth (wma format), have a listen and see if it rings any bells:

Hi all, a better estimate of part of the tune, if anyone can let me know what it is that'd be great:

The line is played by a sax, possibly an alto. Pretty high likelihood it's an instrumental as I don't remember any vocals. The tone of the sax was a bit similar to Baker Street, The Heat is On, Freeway Love.

First thing that comes to mind - Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street...
What a tune!

It sounds like Theme from Local Hero by Dire Straits. Mike Becker plays the saxophone on the track, please let me know if this is it :) The sax starts around 2.30 min.

The question is from 2 years ago. Doubt that the asker is around.
