Billy Freemantle Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Came acroos the Ballads - I can't see your love today.Hadn't heard it for years. Immediately struck once again by how catchy the opening is. What songs get you right from the start?Ballads___I__can_t_see_your_love.mp3
Youyou Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Dear all, I really like Jimmy Frazier "Of Hopes and Dream and Tombstones". Unfortunately the opening is not too long. But for a few seconds one might think, that he is not at an Allnighter but rather in a Sergio Leone Italo Western! And btw: if someone is selling a copy: please drop a PM Take care YouYou https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Jimmy_Frazi..._Tombstones.ram
John Al Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Came acroos the Ballads - I can't see your love today.Hadn't heard it for years. Immediately struck once again by how catchy the opening is. What songs get you right from the start? Better Use Your Head - any version. Our Love Will Grow - Showmen On Broadway - George Benson Wear It On Our Face - The Dells All well known I know, but all get you into it right from the start. John.

Craig W Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 As soon as I hear the crashing intro to this it just grabs me and makes me want to get up and dance and I'm tempted to do a few acrobatics which I'm way past now tg.mp3

It's much easier than in a club as I am wearing only socks But what is it? (Hope it's not one of these superknown gems, that just I have managed to not know ) Take care
Guest vinylvixen Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Pat and the Blenders - Just Because.....superb intro and has me running onto the dancefloor knocking punters and pints over, willy nilly And ofcourse, The Sapphires and 'Gotta Have Your Love'.....and Darrell Banks....'Open the door to your heart'..........good thread, Billy Jo

Bigsoulman Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Precisions--If This Is The Love will do for now, Lenny
wendy Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I love the intro to Music - which is probably even worse than liking the intro to Black Power

One of my favourites too BOTH SIDES I can still remember hearing the B side for the first time, thinking that it was just the instrumental to the A Side, then the Magic moment when the Vocal comes in again .... WOW One of the classic openings for me, and one of the longest ................................. HEATWAVE Edited April 13, 2006 by 45cellar

Guest Kevin J Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 right now, im quite liking the intro to The Vanguards - "The Thought of Losing Your Love." subtle little guitar thingy into that massive drum lead in. brilliant. Also love the above mentioned Ballads track.
Soulof Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 Just listened to megaclassic Betty Everett - Getting mighty crowded. intro and track both magic
Guest Paul Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 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

Guest Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I didn't see this one...but don't you all think that The Tempos - Countdown, here I come - Canterbury has a wonderful intro. It starts at 100 mph.... Just like Johnny Wyatt - This thing called love. However, best intro of all time has to be Ruby - Deceived/Feminine Ingenuity. Both sides are just unbelievable intros that really set both tunes on the right track.
Tomangoes Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Current ring tone is S S by CT on V. Turns heads so must be catchy. Ed
Guest GavKnight Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Majestics - I love the opening so much it hurts me! Professionals - That's why I love you Cindy Scott - I love you baby New Yorkers - Don't wanna be your fool George Lemons - Simple Strings but they hit the right notes with me!
Guest Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Been listening to this today LOU COURTNEY - THE COMMON BROKEN HEART ,got to have one of the best intros of any soul record I have ever heard, a masterpiece.
grant Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 to name but a few........................ King Errison - Zola Mousie & Traps - How About You Jimmy Raye - Philly Dog Around The World COD's - She's Fire - starts off at 100mph and just keeps getting faster - superb stuff!! Grant
