Chicago did some pretty smokin' stuff on their first two or three records, including this horn gem that starts with a break at about 3:04, and then a trombone solo starting at 4:15.

This is a cover of a Ray Charles and Willie Nelson song but really like how the sax is featured in it

This song, which came out in 1965 (I believe) is the earliest instance I know of a real "jam" song, complete with flutes, trombones, and crescendos. Also, a classic in salsa music, before it was known as that.

One of my favorite horn songs of all. Joe Henderson on tenor sax from about 1966.

I see your Johnny Carson and raise you one Star Trek: Voyager:

Sorry, it had to be done,....

A couple more classics from the early 60s.

I include this mainly because it's one of the most un-Doors-like songs The Doors did.

Appropriately, it’s the opening track on the band's least Doors-ish LP.

Back in the 1980s Iowa Public Television aired a program called Live at the Maintenance Shop. One of the acts recorded for an episode was Tower of Power. At the end of the song you can see the stained glass behind the stage.
It's amazing to think that they could fit the entire band in such a small venue.

Edit...oops...Mean Dean already had this one...
Use of horns for the Beatles was not common...

From Wikipedia, Got to Get You Into My Life
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Got_to_Get_You_into_My_Life

... The song seems to have been hard to arrange until the soul-style horns, strongly reminiscent of the Stax' Memphis soul and Motown sound, were introduced.[11] . . . . . This session, on 18 May,[16]marked the first time that the Beatles had used a horn section.[17][18] [1966, edited to add]

By Paul McCartney (though credited to both Lennon and McCartney).

It was was a top 10 hit in 1976, which you heard on AM radio all the time that summer. That always seemed a bit odd then, as The Beatles broke up in 1970.

"Leftover" track from the Pet Sounds Album.

Nobody thinks "Beach Boys" and "Horns/brass" together so this is a bit of an oddity.

You guys and gals are just too good. You don't leave much but I am surprised this is still available:

I'm late to the party, but let me submit these 3 off the top of my head.

US3 - Cantaloop

I feel like US3 - Cataloop can be used in every single "On that note" somehow. It is a versatile song.

 

[HFCS]

My favorite horns in any song. Is it cheating to use jazz? I'm not even really a jazz fan but I'll listen to this on a loop.

David Bowie - Awesome
Tina Turner - Awesome
Sax player thrusting his crotch at 2:29 - Awesome.....?



I love that sax crotch man gets highlighted, then 10 seconds later they show his crotch pumping again just to confirm it was very intentionally in the video.
