Cherry Hill Park- Billy Joe Royal- 1969...great tune and intro!!

That one almost has an "Eleanor" sound to it (The Turtles)
Another good Billy Joe Royal intro: "I Knew You When"

"We've Got More Soul"--Dyke & the Blazers

 

[oldies76]

How about "On the Road Again" Canned Heat (1968)...that psychadelic (buzzing sound) intro. I also like the intro to "I Say A Little Prayer" (1967) by Dionne Warwick and "Spooky" Classics IV (1968)

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.

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. :

Who's Dave Ingram?

my next door neighbor.

There is always another way of putting it so that it isn't verbalized:

"Light My Fire", by The Doors, answering, "I Gotcha", by Joe Tex

 

[GridLeakBias]

"Fire" - the Pointer Sisters

Life in the Fast Lane--Eagles

 

[cyberdad]

Mystic Eye.....Them

 

[radioman148]

"Shakin All Over" --Guess Who or Johnny Kidd & the Pirates

Shadows In The Moonlight - Anne Murray :-*

 

[cyberdad]

Okay.....If we're moving this into Can-con (again), I say no Anne Murray intro beats the fuzz guitar on "You Won't See Me".

Another great (or at least unusual) Can-con intro would be the castanets on Paul Anka's "Dance Dance On, Little Girl"

Speaking of Paul Anka. On You-Tube is a video of him performing his hits (live). He is backed by an all-female orchestra, all of whom are dressed in white.
