"Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty is a GREAT one. One of my faves.
For jazz, the first one that comes to mind is "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Ultra cool.
For R & B, "What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)" by Jr. Walker & the All-Stars. Very soulful.

"Shake and Fingerpop" (which also has maybe the single most murderous bass riff in rock and soul . . .)
Other classic sax appeal:
John Coltrane (with the Miles Davis Sextet), "Bye, Bye Blackbird" (from Miles & Coltrane, 1959 Newport Jazz Festival)
Paul Gonsalves (with Duke Ellington and His Orchestra), "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue" (from Ellington at Newport)
Sam (The Man) Taylor (for Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters), "Money Honey"
Jack Lancaster (with Blodwyn Pig), "It's Only Love" (from their first and best album, Ahead Rings Out)
Andy Mackay (for Mott the Hoople), "All the Way From Memphis"; (with Roxy Music), "Do the Strand"
Stan Getz, "The Girl From Ipanema" (Getz/Gilberto).
Paul Desmond (with Dave Brubeck), "Blue Rondo a la Turk"
Johnny Hodges (with Duke Ellington), "All of Me" (from The Great Paris Concert)
. . . just to name a few . . .
