All above mentioned are good choices.
David Bowie - Young Americans
Lou Reed - Walk on the Wild Side
Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar / Waiting on a Friend
Bruce Springstein and the East Street Band - Born to Run
Hall and Oates - Maneater (the echo was actually a mistake in the original recording but they liked it so it stayed.)
Grover Washington Jr. - Just The Two Of Us
Billy Joel - Just the Way You Are
OMD - If You Leave
Wham - Careless Whisper
Spandau Balet - True
I know these might not qualify for the "killer" tag but they are some that stand out to me as being integral parts of memorable songs.

True will always qualify as a killer song in my book along with everything Hall and Oates ever did.

The first real hit for INXS, What You Need, has a very simplistic saxophone solo that I just love.
And I could go for some Pizza Shuttle right now.
