"San Tropez" is the title of the fourth track from the album Meddle by the band Pink Floyd. The song has an upbeat, jazzy tempo, with a tropical feel to it, including a short slide guitar solo from guitarist David Gilmour and an extended piano solo by keyboardist Rick Wright at the end. Unlike the other tracks on Meddle, "San Tropez" was not written collaboratively; instead, Roger Waters wrote the piece himself and brought it into the studio already finished. [1]
