The Saxxy 80s: 'One Of The Living' by Tina Turner (1985)

Welcome back to The Saxxy 80s. Today's feature goes to Tina Turner and her 1985 hit song One Of The Living. Now the sax-portion of the song is a great sax-solo towards the end of the song, so if you are wondering where the sax comes in be patient, its loaded at the end. Tina Turner (Anna Mae Bullock) is an American singer and actress who has been active for over 50 years now and won various awards throughout her career. Interestingly (I didn't know this before this brief post) she has been dubbed by many as the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll. One Of The Living was recorded in 1985 for the soundtrack to the film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. It was one of two songs recorded for that movie, in which Tina Turner also starred as one of the central characters. So again, check out that sax solo at the end of the song, its done by allstar saxophonist Tim Cappello (same buff sax player from The Lost Boys).
