When Kenny G., 31, a saxophonist from Seattle, recorded 'Songbird' well over a year ago, little did he expect that it would become one of the biggest pop instrumental hits of the 1980s.

'I wrote `Songbird` to submit as possible film-score material,' Kenny Gorelick, who professionally shortened his last name to an initial, recalled last week.

'But I ended up liking it so much that I decided to put it on my album

`Duotones.`

'The idea for the song came out of imagining what it would be like to fly. When I picked up the soprano sax, I decided to pretend I was playing live in concert and show off what I could do rather than try to be commercial.'

With its rippling high-speed saxophone improvisations growing out of a simple romantic theme, 'Songbird' is the first pop instrumental hit that could fit into the category of what has been labeled 'new-age' music.

A moody, impressionistic ballad that evokes the image of a single bird wheeling against an ocean sunset, the hit has pushed sales of Gorelick`s fourth solo album, 'Duotones,' to more than 1.6 million copies.

Gorelick`s label, Arista Records, has high hopes for the follow-up single, 'Don`t Make Me Wait for Love,' which is climbing the charts. The song is a duet between Gorelick`s saxophone and Lenny Williams, the pop-soul singer who used to work with the Bay Area horn band Tower of Power.

'My biggest influence was Grover Washington Jr.,' Gorelick said. 'I discovered him in 1973 when I was a junior in high school, and I couldn`t get enough of him. I was impressed with his emotion and with the way he played the saxophone as though he were singing it.'

Gorelick has been performing professionally for many years. While majoring in accounting at the University of Washington, in Seattle, he supported himself by playing in various bands, and has played with

entertainers from Barry White`s Love Unlimited to Liberace. Before his solo career, he spent 4 1/2 years as the saxophonist in the Jeff Lorber Fusion.
