Met Kenny G at a KJLH function. He's truly the perceived portrait of a jazz musician, cool, laid back, very approachable. I love his music. To this day I wonder if he was floating.

Here's another classic that everyone will recognize in about .5 seconds, but on this, at about 43 seconds in, is probably the greatest combination of wave riding and action filming ever.

Here's another instrumental gem, worthy of some Rib-bits:
This mega-famous group, not known for their many tasty instrumentals, had only one number one single in the UK:
Also, it is claimed, that a year after this, the band outsold the Beatles and the Stones combined in the UK.
They also did a "Santana song" years before he did.
Also, because Because was said by John to be inspired by this group, it is logically assumed, this is the song. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"

Hmm....just concentrating on Rock (and leaving out songs that are just instrumental solos, like Eruption):
Green Onions (Booker T & the MGs)
Jessica (Allman Bros)
Frankenstein (Edgar Winter)
YYZ (Rush)
Moby Dick (Led Zeppelin)
Fire On High (ELO)
That's a bad ass collection for sure on all counts that I am now going to make into a playlist.
But I'm going to add one. I know it may not count as a "hit" by itself, but it was an insanely great instrumental and a highlight of an album that was solidly on the charts for decades.
