Jackie Ross - Selfish One......reused by Leon Haywood (It's Got To Be Mellow), the Explosive Dynamiks, and Purple Mundi. Is there an earlier version of this? More examples of the same intro?

Tomangos I relly love you

Major Lance You dont want me no more

Heiitations Im not built that way

Gotta have Manifesto in there ,

Lots ,more but each and evrey one captures your attention imediately you hear it ,turns your head starts that tingle makes you wanna move! like most questions of a similar ilk as soon as you think of one more keep coming like a non stop printout.

It's a goood job the thread isn't entitled "Intro's that Tony never fecking cottoned on to" then isn't it!

:wicked:

Mr P

:hatsoff2::D

One thing I've noticed about loads of the intros on this thread, they're really dramatic, explosive openings e.g joe hicks, Arthur Freeman, Del Larks, Mello Souls, Sandi Sheldon, Major Lance, Case of Tyme etc.

Drama makes for a cracking start of a song

ELOISE LAWS - Love Factory........ boom

reminded me of Curtis - boom, boom

That gazoo thingy at the start always makes me burst out laughing, it's just not right, keep expecting a Goons sketch to kick in.

im sure it MUST have already been mentioned,but just in case it hasnt...........

nf porter-keep on keepin on, superb intro

I was flicking through tracks I've imported to iTunes (vinyl and CDs), and just listening to the intro, and to be honest, I think in many ways the opening that stops you in your tracks is pretty much the essence of Northern. And not just Northern Soul, Funk, Deep, and probably many other genres too. I think the ones that appeal to me are the ones which are quite off-beat, so to speak.

I don't think Mr Flood's Party has been listed yet for instance, or Eddie Floyd "That's All". I love the tunes where there's some sort of odd chord, not knowing music enough to describe it, but it is some sort of flat maybe.

A little bit hurt - Julian Convey.Brilliant intro.

.

Key to my happiness - charades wow!!

jimmy its my desert island disc sheer brilliance

In the car Yesterday radio 2 on The Spinners Its a Shame came on. Now thats what you call a great intro.

Another fave intro Strange Neighbourhood. The Imaginations.

THE TWANS ...... Then it ain't all that :(

talking about the Spinners, what about One of a kind love affair on Atlantic, thats some intro!

Detroit Spinners - I'll be around beginning is pretty iconic imo.
