Delilah by Tom Jones has some pretty good horns. And Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire does too.
Glenn Frey - You Belong to the City
Dire Straits - Your Latest Trick
Anything from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Lucretia McEvilby Blood Sweat & Tears, the horns kinda carry the song. The guitar break seems weak by comparison.
No Doubt uses horns in a lot of their songs. The horn section (Gabe and Steve) should be officially part of the band as they usually tour with No Doubt. Examples include The Climb and Squeal.
Morrissey featured horns on some of the songs and b-sides on his album Ringleader of the Tormentors. I Just Want to See the Boy Happy (near the end)
Human Being (New York Dolls cover)
Sir Duke, Stevie Wonder
Barry Manilow - Copacabana
Paul Simon - Call Me Al
This wasn’t a hit (I don’t think it was even a single), but not only does John Entwistle’s I Wonder(from the Whistle Rhymes album) kick serious posterior, he played all or most of the horns himself.
J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame
Oingo Boingo - take your pick
Wow. I haven’t heard that song in 25 years, and yet it was completely familiar to me on hearing it again.
Another one with kick ass horns: Just A Gigolo. Louis Prima or David Lee Roth, take your pick. Prima’s version is, well, primo, but DLR’s version is quite good, too.
Vehicle, by Ides of March.
ETA: Ha! I swear I searched the thread and somehow missed this was in the OP!!!
Thorn in my side–Eurythmics
No love for the Average White Band? Here’s Pick Up The Pieces live at Montreaux.
Squirrel Nut Zippers Hell(They had an awesome horn horn section)
I guess it would be pop for it’s time but if you want horns check out Fly Me To The Moon from Sinatra at the Sands.
I Can’t Turn You Loose by Otis Redding
NOPE the Horns are the real deal on Sledgehammer on purpose
