I'd have to say that BMB's was "Riders In The Sky".

Though that song was re-issued on 45 by A&M in late 1972 (AM-1389). But I was thinking of their signature during their A&M run (the live version, B.T.W.), thus above.daveK said:
But here are some more signatures (I.M.H.O.) . . .
Billy Preston : Instrumental - "Outa-Space"; Vocal - "Nothing From Nothing"
Styx : "Babe"
Janet Jackson : "When I Think Of You"
Bell & James : "Livin' It Up (Friday Night)"
Ozark Mountain Daredevils : "Jackie Blue"
Amy Grant : "That's What Love Is For"
Joe Cocker : "Feeling Alright"
Bryan Adams : "Heaven"
Free : "All Right Now"
Jeffrey Osborne : "On The Wings Of Love"
Lee Michaels : "Do You Know What I Mean"
Quincy Jones (Featuring James Ingram) : "Just Once"
Jimmy Cliff : "Wonderful World, Beautiful People"
OK, this is subject to change, but I'll shoot this one in here before I head out the door. I'm undecided on one or two entries, but otherwise, it's pretty clear cut.
To me, "signature song" means a song that, the second you hear it, you identify it with the artist or band. As if they had only recorded one song, this would be the one they're forever identified with. (And as a result, my picks are a bit obvious, but that's the nature of the beast.) So here goes!
Herb & The TJB: Taste of Honey
Solo Herb: Rise
Procol Harum: Whiter Shade of Pale (even if it wAS a licensed album)
Peter Frampton: Show Me The Way (a classic rock staple)
Sandpipers: Guantanamera (is this unanimous or what?? )
Wes Montgomery: Road Song
Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66: Mas Que Nada
Sergio Mendes: Never Gonna Let You Go
Nazareth: Hair Of The Dog ("ain't no messin' with the..."
)
Chuck Mangione: Feels So Good
Supertramp: Logical Song
Carpenters: We've Only Just Begun (a very iconic song, don't you think?)
Captain & Tenille: Love Will Keep Us Together
We Five: You Were On MY Mind
Police: Message In A Bottle
Sting: If You Love Sombondy
Styx: Come Sail Away
Gino Vannelli: I Just Wanna Stop
Chris Montez: Call Me
Bros. Johnsons: Stomp!
Baja Marimba Band: Georgy Girl
Roger Nichols: Love So Fine
Janet Jackson: What Have You Done For Me Lately?
Bell & James: Livin' It Up (Friday Night) (or file this under "one hit wonder" )
Oingo Boingo: Only A Lad
Burt Bacharach (among his own A&M recordings): Wives and Lovers
Bob Regan/Lucille Starr: We're Gonna Stand Up On The Mountain
Cat Stevens: Morning Has Broken
Billy Preston: Will It Go 'Round In Circles
Joe Cocker: With A Little Help From My Friends (or You Are So Beautiful)
Tamba 4: Dolphin (one of Luiz Eça's finest and most recognized tunes)
A.C. Jobim: Wave

When I did mine this afternoon, I was doing it on the fly, missed a few acts, I see! 
Time to rectify that...
The only omissions I made were of jazz cats like Wes and Jobim, whose best work, I feel, was done elsewhere...and of course I'm ignoring the minor acts or those I've no use for, but that's just the contrarian in me...
Mo:
Montez: Call Me
Procol: A Salty Dog(live '72)
Brothers J: S Letter 23
Styx: Lorelei
Supertramp: Logical Song
Frampton: Do You Feel Like We Do(live)
Armatrading: The Weakness In Me(great, great record! How did this NOT become a hit?!?)
One-shots:
Diddy Wah Diddy--Captain Beefheart
Livin' It Up--Bell & James
A Song Of Joy--Miguel Rios
Run Home Girl--Sad Cafe
I'm sure there will be more to come, there usually is!

Wow! This is about the best topic we've had in the last few months. Good job, Chatsworth Steve, for coming up with it...
Before I jump into my list I think I should point out that A&M licensees in many thrid world countries did this very thing. I am the proud owner of a 5 volume Philippine set and have seen Mexican and Japanese sets that are similar. These sets didn't always limit themselves to one tune per artist but more like one tune per million LPs sold (or so it would seem). Anyway... on to my list (which naturally will match many selections my corner cohorts have come up with)!

These two entries courtesy of A&M's proofreading
department. Why they perpetuated the incorrect "Mais Que Nada" is a mystery. And "Iemanja" is all one word (or name, as the case may be). Amazon even had it listed as "Lemanja" 
...incidentally, e-mailed them last night to fix the entry.I forgot one in my list:

Yes, Harry. Shawn Phillips actually recorded it on a '45' (A&M 1405) as a B-Side of "Landscape", from his Faces LP; (A&M SP 4363).
I have seen and played a little of it on a Double-Sided W/L Promo I saw at one of my record haunts, recently.
