PabloWinchester Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) I don't think that much to the overall song, but the intro to The Ambers "I Love You Baby" is my fave intro to a NS tune. Yours? Edited February 28, 2017 by PabloWinchester Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Tempest Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Not my favourite intro , but as soon as you hear those trumpets , you know that for the next 2mins and 35 secs it's a dancers dream ! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Have a glance over some of my posts and I blunder about all over treading on toes and trying to teach my grandmas how to suck eggs, and I'm not so new On topic I'm another that would put Ambers Potion Of Love right up amongst them. In fact the whole record is just superb. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tobytyke Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Its got to be "Open the door to your Heart" Darrel Banks. Gets me every time and that's after 50 years of listening to it countless times.

Gets me every time and that's after 50 years of listening to it countless times. Wish I could think of something more original! For me, I prefer Doni Burdicks' version on the grounds that the brass in the intro is sharper, the vocal isn't quite as good as DB but the intro is better imo. For pure in yer face kick ass excitement it's gotta be hard to beat Edwins' 'Time', intro is almost identical to the start of the theme tune to 'Enter the dragon'. There's so many great intros in Northern it's hard to pick a 'best', Shirley Ellis is pretty good, Magic night is epic, Flame n King intro is pretty good, I'm going to reserve judgement on what I think is the best one...
