The Vibrations - Cause You're Mine

What better intro could you get?

Mine would have to be Edwin Starr "I Have Faith In You"

BH

Landslide - Tony Clark springs to mind.

Or Suspicion

For me it's got to be Eddie Parker - I'm gone

FRANK BEVERLY & THE BUTLERS..IF THATS WHAT YOU WANTED...GREAT INTRO do agree with both karens..vibrations & eddie parkers intro shake yer bones!

The Vibrations - Cause You're Mine

What better intro could you get?

One of the earliest & longest intros - "HEATWAVE"

Brilliant

It always leads back to my all time favorite song:

STICK BY ME BABY-THE SALVADORS

When that one starts .... GAME ON! TIME FOR SERIOUS SOUL!

Suspicion by the Originals ain't too shabby either!

KTF

Jas

Velvets--Fine me somebody

Jades- I'm where its at

The Flock - take me back....the best ever start---sound file anyone????

Martha Reeves- Nowhere to run.

For me it's got to be the intro to 'Shing A Ling' by The Cooperettes

It always leads back to my all time favorite song:

STICK BY ME BABY-THE SALVADORS

When that one starts .... GAME ON! TIME FOR SERIOUS SOUL!

KTF

Jas

FOOKIN SPOT ON!

Chubby Checker....You Just Dont Know

not everyone's cup of tea but..

So is the sun - World Column

stompin' baby

The Tamangoes - I really love you

THE TOMANGOE'S - THE STEINWAYS - THE DEL-LARKS - THE VONETTES

I love the unusual approach made to the intro - The Del-Larks being the classic example

THE DEL-LARKS - JOB OPENING

https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Del_Lar...Job_Opening.ram

heres another

THE CHALFONTES - HE LOVES ME

https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Chalfon...He_Loves_Me.ram

and some that just pick you up from the start and leave you in a crumpled heap in a corner after a couple of attempted back flips.

THE LOVETTES - LITTLE MISS SOUL

https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Lovette...e_Miss_Soul.ram

I still get that hairs on the back of neck tingle when these records are played.

or

the slow, anticipation of a classic instrumental

EARL WRIGHT - THUMB A RIDE

https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Earl_Wright...humb_A_Ride.ram

or the ease you in to the record approach

ALDORA BRITTON - DO IT WITH SOUL

https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Aldora_Brit...t_With_Soul.ram

All magic in their own way

I am in awe of wonder at the imagination of the writers and producers of these fine records.

Imagine, trying to convey your idea to a session musician. "Well, you strike this cow bell" and "Rattle that chain"

Wonderful, I wish that I had been a fly on the wall at just one of these recording sessions.

WILLIE PICKETT - ON THE STAGE OF LIFE

stupendous tune from start to finish

ivano alberto fossatti (Al Foster) Night of the Wolf, ready, steady....SHUFFLE.......

Come on the epitome of soul intros has got to be

"Open the doors of your'e heart" Darrel Banks those horns

for a more crossover style the intro to

Virgil Henrys "i'll be true" is great

(I dont like the rarer Cookie version even if the vocals stronger the backings weaker than this one)

Can't argue with The Montclairs or Tomangoes.

Love the intro to Doris Troy - I'll do anything.

Splendid one coops....

And for some Kick ass intro got to be Gene Chandler's There was a time

just love this one THE MAJESTICS https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Majesti...It_Hurts_Me.ram

For fantastic intros, you also have to throw in

THE FOUR PERFECTIONS "I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH"

gloria_jones.mp3What about Gloria Jones (Heartbeat) now thats an intro ---- awesome

cheers Ruffsounds

And for some Kick ass intro got to be Gene Chandler's There was a time

OMG yeah, forgot about that one. I reckon they built in these intros so that dancers could get to the dancefloor in time and breaks in stompers so the dancers could take a breather. It's fate, it's just perfection...

Much as i like you Nick, this is so played out that my marrow in my thigh bones is turning to yeast.............

i know mate but still a good intro,how bout Johnny Hampton Not My Girl....

Sister Dawn thought you were educated

James Brown There was a Time

Velvellettes These things jameson base intro

Bunny Sigler Girl Dont make me wait

4 Tops Reach Out

Temptations Get Ready

and for the best pop intro

album version

The Who Wont Get Fooled Again

this will get me ridiculed putting a rock track on Soul Source

but its intros where talking about and there are hundreds of great intros

in all forms and genres

Doug

best intros

SEVEN SOULS - I STILL LOVE YOU

DONI BURDICK - BARI TRACK

ALEXANDER PATTEN - A LIL LOVIN SOMETIMES

PATRICE HOLLOWAY - LOVE AND DESIRE

TOMANGOES

EDDIE & ERNIE - I CAN'T DO IT

THERE'S LOADS MORE

Much as i like you Nick, this is so played out that my marrow in my thigh bones is turning to yeast.............

Is this thread about played out records or great intros?

The Van Dykes....SAVE MY LOVE FOR A RAINY DAY.....or Tony Middleton TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH........and of course! Jimmy Wallace I'LL BE BACK

I know this has been done loads of times but tonight I'm revitalising this subject. Shane, don't you dare move me!

The Vibrations - Cause You're Mine

What better intro could you get?

I don't know if they're better but 3 from different era's have been clarion call intro's to the dancefloor:

Doris Troy 'I'll do anything' - Kitchen Sink productions

Invitations 'Look on the good side' - that big an intro' they woke Philly up making it.

Ernie Lee Banks 'Are you ready to be loved' - big into backed by big bollocked vocals

Invitations 'Look on the good side'

- that big an intro' they woke Philly up making it.

Good call. You're never quite sure if you've put the right side on until the vocal kicks in, the intro is that l.....o......n.....g!
