April 20, 200619 yr Would I be spoiling the whole of this good thread if I admit that I always liked the intro to "Black Power"?? Not at all John - remember me & Dave Holland form Farnworth way standing by the stage at Wigan when this first got played - gobsmacked ! Thought it was f**cking brilliant when I first heard it - and confess that from a dancer point of view still do quite like it. Grant

April 20, 200619 yr I love tracks with really effective and convincing introductions - those which set a mood, build tension or make you feel as if you're about to set off an an amazing journey... Johnny Sayles - I Can't Get Enough (feels like an engine revving up before thrusting into motion) Eddie Parker - Love You Baby (...just shut up, woman, and LISTEN to me!) Bob Relf - Blowing My Mind To Pieces (swirling and rising up to new heights of ecstacy) Four Tops - Reach Out, I'll Be There (a racing heart, beating fast and absolutely determined) The O'Jays - Looky Looky (dramatic and insistant, demanding attention) Dean Parrish - I'm On My Way (a journey uptown as in "heading for the life of the city...") Jackie Lee - Do The Temptation Walk (...hold on tight, 'cause we're going UP!) William Bell - Happy (a joyful and uplifting intro, you just know the guy is on top of the world) Frankie & The Clasicals - What Shall I Do (setting a perfect mood of frustration) Edward Hamilton - Baby Don't You Weep (high drama, "I'm on my way...I'm coming home") Timmy Willis - Such Misery (dark and haunting, I'm feeling suicidal...) Eloise Laws - Love Factory (moody and intense, almost angry, definately a HURT woman) The Intrigues - In A Moment (a dramatic and stirring suspense; something's gonna happen...) The Fi-Dels - Try A Little Harder (very uplifting but also dark and moody) Tami Lynn - I'm Gonna Run Away From You (...get out of my way, boy - I've had enough!) Bernard Williams - Focused On You (a throbbing intro for confidence and determination) San Remo Strings - Festival Time (wake up, something really GOOD is about to happen) Edwin Starr - I Have Faith In You (more throbbing determination) The Ambers - Potion Of Love (a bubbling, magical feeling) Sidney Joe Qualls - Run To Me (more moody determination) Southside Movement - Do It To Me (get dressed, we're going OUT...) Loleatta Holloway - Mother Of Shame (she's definately on a mission) I think that's enough intros for now. Paul Mooney Great selection Paul! Let's add the superb Superlatives, I still love you. Short, but still gets me leaping onto the dancefloor! Colin
