Alto saxophonist David Sanborn is a respected smooth jazzer in his own right (just check out 1982's Backstreet), but he was also all over the pop charts in various solos. Here's a few off the top of my head; I'm sure I'll have to come back and augment this list. Please let me know if you can think of a guest Sanborn solo not listed here.
Linda Ronstadt - "Ooh Baby Baby" (1978)
Carly Simon - "You Belong To Me" (1978)
Pure Prairie League - "Let Me Love You Tonight" (1980)
James Last Band - "The Seduction" (1980)
Eagles - "The Sad Cafe" (1980)
Kenny Loggins - "Heart to Heart" (1982)
and, if you want to expand our parameters of 1976-85 a bit:
David Bowie - "Young Americans" (1975)
James Taylor - "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" (1975)
and a deep album cut from The King of Comedy soundtrack
Donald Fagen - "The Finer Things" (1982)
Update: Faithful listener Dirk Digglinator suggests the following (as long as we're expanding our parameters):
Esther Phillips - "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" (1975)
Regina - "Baby Love" (1986)
