You did say a SINGLE instrument? That doesn't happen as often as you might think and certainly not for very long. Case in point: Shaft, along with the guitar there's that classic hihat part. The same is true for Love Child. My Girl actually has a bass drum in sync with the bass guitar on the eighth notes. I did find a few hit songs that start with one instrument: Brickhouse - Drums Walk This Way - Drums Minute by Minute - Rhodes E. piano Watermelon Man ('72 remake) - Beer bottles |

Hello again, soulful brothers & sisters! Hi, friends Bobby "Electronic" and Medusa! I got the "Here To Create Music" album by Leon Huff and in the last part of the track have a female chorus (I believe by The Jones Girls) that sings "Jiving, Jamming" in a reiterative and monotonous way. But this can't be considered as "lyrics" (perhaps "laconic" lyrics, ?) My favorites intros with a single instrument (including instrumentals, if I have well understand): -The guitar by Norman Harris in the start of "SEXY" (MFSB) -The guitar (by Curtis mayfield?) in the start of "LOVER'S LANE" (Impressions) -Trumpet in the start of "Music Is My Way Of Life" (Mighty Clouds Of Joy) -Vibes (by Vincent Montana) starting "Sad Girl" (Intruders) -Piano (by Leon Huff) starting "Somebody To Love Me" (O'Jays) -Organ intro (by Leon Huff?) in People's Choice "Mellow Mood" I'll back again with more intros, friends! Peace & Soul Food |

Don't have it in front of me, but didn't Tina Turner's "Nutbush City Limits" start with a fairly long wa-wa guitar open before the horns came in? |
