Favorite Song Intros of All time

[Bigboote]

This is one of my all-time favorite intros. A beautiful intro to a beautiful albeit sad song.

Here's a lovely intro to a tearjerker. The combination of the mandolin, pennywhistle, bouzouki, and guitar is magical.

Time to party. One of my all-time favorite songs.

RIP DJ Casper. Everybody clap your hands. Heard at stadiums and arenas all across the country.

 

[MSGRET]

This is one that is known for rallying the Troops and War bonds. I remember my dad playing this on his 78's when I was a wee one.

 

[Scud49]

Great intro - Joe Cocker doing the Beatles "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window":

 

[Scud49]

Gotta give some credit to the Four Seasons- good intros on many of their songs:

Gary U.S. Bonds knew how to get a song out of the gates:

 

[Scud49]

Booker T & the MG's - this intro is pretty classic, Steve Cropper's guitar:

 

[Scud49]

One of those great Stephen Stills solo songs with a fine intro:

 

[BrianUC]

The best intro of them all.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

 

[MdStang]

A great song from 1978. Could be the unofficial theme song for The Bone Yard.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

I've always loved this intro by Stephanie Mills.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

A great combination of vocals and Eugene Record's rap on this intro

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Another from the Chi-Lites. Probably their most underrated song.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Norman Connors featuring Phyllis Hyman (RIP).

 

[Ozimoto]

This one is a classical music sounding bent to a traditional folk song updated with a rock beat. The bridge is pretty good too.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Another Norman Connor classic. Probably his best song. Featuring Michael Henderson (RIP) on vocals.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Nice piano intro. Featuring Cuba Gooding Sr.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Probably the most underrated R&B Group in history. Out of NYC

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Another Black Ivory. A surprising hit from their 2nd album.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip hop which is today.
