Greatest Intros in Rock

How about this. There were so many great rock and roll songs during the fifties and sixties, and so many had fabulous intros.. How does anything compare to Baby I Love You by the Ronettes, or I'm Hurtin' by Roy Orbison. Those are some of my favorites. How about yours?

I disagree. Neither the guitar nor the sax is out of tune as far as I can determine.

"Angel Baby" was a single recorded in a rented recording studio on a two-track machine when lead singer Rosie Hamlin was only 15 years old. Neither Rosie nor the background musicians were polished performers, and the master suffered some degradation due to overplay before it was ultimately released in 1960 by Highland Records. If the guitar was off key, it wasn’t by more than a quarter tone, if that.

The root of this song is in the key of C which causes Rosie to almost strain to reach the top when she ups an octave in the chorus, but she makes it. On stage in her later years you hear Rosie singing this song in Bflat, a key which better fits her vocal abilities.

I’m willing to give Rosie Hamlin a break on this recording, it is an R&B classic despite its less-than-professional production.

Off key sax? I don't think so, see above reply.

I'm certainly not critical of Rosie. If you ever listened to Dan Ingram he used to comment whenever he played that song on CBS-FM that that was the worst sax he ever heard. I have to agree with him. Now what may have caused it, that's another story.

Hmmm, just for grins I checked a listing of the top 100 greatest saxophonists in Jazz, R&B and Rock.
Didn’t find Dave Ingram’s name on the list. ::)
