Safe Sax in the ‘80s

There was no other decade that loved on the saxophone than the ‘80s! In this series, we present the evidence…



Most people remember the Pure Prairie League as a country rock group from the '70s, best known for the radio friendly hit "Amie". But in 1979 soon-to-be country superstar Vince Gill took over lead vocals and earned the band this hit, which surpassed "Amie" as the band's biggest by reaching #10 on the Billboard charts. The sax-laced song was the lead off single from the band's ninth studio album, "Firin' Up". On the sax is none other than David Sanborn.
