After more listens, I have grown to like this more. I would rate it 3.75 stars now if I could.
Edit: I am referring to Fire Down Below - Hymn Of The Cosmic Man.
Club Noveau - Life, Love, & Pain (1987)
Dated and derivative (of numerous of its predecessors and contemporaries) but still catchy and kitschy in the way a favored ear-worm ought to be. Not quite a one-hit wonder because they had several good songs on this album, but fairly designated a one-album wonder. Most people who were not fans of 80s R&B probably never heard of CN, but their remake of "Lean On Me" is judged both a classic and a miscarriage of musical justice -- I still love that remake.

Fatso Jetson - Power Of Three (1997)
Joyce Sims - Come Into My Life (1988)
Almost certain to be an unknown name to most, and disliked by anyone not fond of the time's R&B However, this is rated 4.5 stars by AllMusicGuide, though for some reason there is no site-review of it. Discogs has it at 4.3. This was a MONSTER album in my day around my crowd. DJs loved it. (R&B) music geeks loved it. Club heads loved it. Listening to it now brings nothing but sheer joy.

Brett Smiley - Breathlessly Brett (1974/2004)
Really good album that went unreleased (other than 2 songs on a single) for 30 years.

Fun. - Aim and Ignite (2009)
Edit: this isn't the original album cover, but it's kind of nice, and I'm too lazy to change it (but not lazy enough to edit and type this)

Brand new release. Funk/R&B/Blues artist. I don't know of much sax music outside of jazz. Glad to have it as a feature instrument in R&B rather than background.
