First thought in my head was "find this dude and jam with him!" - bunch of great memories in this bunch of riffs! Thanks!
My tan Wurly was the first keyboard I ever bought about 1973. I still remember playing the intro to "Joy To the World" live with my first band when it was a hit. Wow. Hearing that audience react to those notes gave me chills and I almost stopped playing. Never get tired of playing it. I've played most of those tunes, great trip man!
This is the best 6 minutes and 58 seconds on TH-cam.
Thanks

Tom, if you integrate this list into the video description, youtube will create chapters automatically. 😃
Just put in the time stamps. Great idea. Need to do it for the rest of them. Thanks again.

The Ghetto (Donny Hathaway)
What's Going On (Donny Hathaway cover)
@@tomhammermusic
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy (Josef Zawinul)
Impeccable taste
Wow all the Stevie Wonders sound just like the vinyl! Rosalinda's Eyes is killer
AGREED!!!!Good ole’ Billy
Those pieces of music you played made me realize how much music theory the composers of those songs must have know. They used quite complicated harmonic progressions here and there, which sounds fabulous and impressive. You inspired me to study some too.
Even the ones that were originally played with a Rhodes still sound pretty good on the Wurly. It’s funny, I used to like the sound of the Rhodes better, but as I’ve gotten older, I gravitate towards the Wurly.
I feel the same way.
I’ve had the same experience. I loved the clean chimey sound of the Rhodes, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve come to vastly prefer the grainy texture of the Wurly sound
@@andrewnibbi Yeah, and none of the Wurly emulations quite capture that "dirty" sound.
@@davebartholome2924 keyscape vst gives it a bloody good go!
@@edunabie Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check it out.
Great performance and rhythmic feel!
Did you learn these all by ear?
Just The Way You Are / Billy Joel
Gotta love the wurley!
Agreed!
Love the sound of the electric piano. Wish they would use them today. So many great songs from the past!
riders on the storm!
Next round.
I love the Styx song !
Well that was fun!!!
Fun with a Wurli!
Thanks Tom, you are very good!
....ahhhhh......I loved the Wurly so much. So many great tunes were done with that. I particularly enjoyed the Supertramp as they really used it a lot with some great tunes. Although These Eyes, Ride Captain Ride and Steely Dan.....oh my......these were truly some great tunes too.
Great
The intro to "You never done it like that" from The Captain and Tenille is very cool.
Yes!!! Steely Dan Pretzel Logic.
Donald Fagen has just…..got it 😎
Loved it ….Thank you.
This Hanson brother has some CHOPS!! Nicely done.
Played Name that tune and got 18, only because some names were lost to the haze of the 70's.All familiar tunes. Good job! Ride Captain Ride!
I spend years trying to get the timing for the end of the "what I say" lick, You nailed it.!
Thanks. It all takes time
Always loved the sound of the Wurly. Thanks for putting all these songs together. So hypnotic.
“All I have is a Wurlitzer” 😃 this is my favorite video of yours! Awesome song selections!
Super awesome!
So great. Thanks
Very nice. Great playing. Thsnks for sharing.
Breese Learning would like to thank you for this very well performed demonstration! Muchas gracias!
sound 70s
very nice!
Hey that was a lot of fun. That instrument (Rhodes included) is intrinsically connected to so many awesome tunes. And while this one isn’t really my bag, Just the Way You Are certainly has that iconic Rhodes + Phase 90 (I think). Anyway, kudos!
mind blown
Very cool 👍
I saw the title of this video and the first song I thought of was I am The Walrus. Not disappointed... then I heard Babe as I was typing this comment and my soul is full. My two favourite bands. Thank you for sharing this, you play brilliantly.
That was terrific! Lots of fun to remember all of these great songs. Well done!
Awesome and in 1 take what a pro. Love the Steely Dan ones
Fantastic job on that Wurli, and the selection was a great time capsule😎
nice. brings back memories of better music times and at the same time reminds me how bad today’s music is. I grew up listening to 60’s, 70’s, 80’s & early 90’s before I cut out and stopped listening cause nothing new was happening. gangsta rap was the big thing and I was too old for that. I consider that period in American music to be unmatched by anything before or since except if you want to throw in the 50’s and big band music and jazz of earlier decades. and now, sadly, I consider great music to be over and done with. I can’t believe Hip Hop has been around 40 years now and no new genre has been invented in all that time. being born in 1960 I got to listen to so much good stuff.
And I was born in 59 and feel so grateful for the music I grew up with.
Last days nothing will change. You know what happened to RnB once Caucasians got their hands on it the genre starts to die out the same will happen to hip hop now. So be grateful that hip hop is dying out now.
The first Queen!
Great idea! I was holding out for Minute by Minute.
Next round. Great one.
Superbly done Thomas. Gave me some great ideas and really took me back. Nice job !
Joy to th world 😍
Dancing in th moonlight😍👏
that warm and cosy sound, I love it!
Excellent keep em coming
This was really amazing. So many greats from that one instrument.
Thanks for sharing! My son started a band about a year ago, he plays piano/keyboards . He's going to be 25 and they play the classics...I'll share this with him!
Yes the classics. Hard to beat.
Was hoping you included Dancin' in the Moonlight and was not disappointed!
The sound of my life. The usung hero instrument of the great songs in the lives of us later boomers. Beautiful job!
Listening to this reminds me that I am but an intermediate player. You are an excellent , advanced player. Well done sir! You should be teaching. I would be proud to have you as my teacher.
Makes you wanting to hear more song !
Wow Tom that was awesome🎵
One of my favorites is Blinded by the Light.
I may put that in the next round.
Loved that!
You’re incredible. The Wurlitzer is my favorite instrument.
Mine too. Suck eggs, Mr Rhodes. 🤣
Glorious tunes. Well played
I appreciate what you do. Your hard work in preparation is greatly appreciated. Takes me back….. and forth….. and back….
So very good. Thank you
This is all simply fantastic.
Fantastic playing! Right on. Wurly is the best sound.
You make it look easy, but it is most certainly not!
Now I discovered great songs, thank you!!!
Brilliant. One day I will own an electric piano. That Wurli sounds magnificent and you really rock that machine. Thanks for taking the time and effort.
So refreshing to see someone praising the time and effort and not just calling him crazy talented.
Loved it, brought many smiles. What a musician. Thank you.
wow, thanks for sharing
Great video and a great idea. The Wurly just doesn't get enough credit. The electric piano that Jimmy Greenspoon used for the original 1971 studio recording of Joy To The World was actually a Hohner Pianet T. It absolutely DID have a very similar sound to the famous Wurly 200 especially when you played it hard and loud. You could get those cool distortions and overtones like what you hear Ian Mclagan playing on Stay With Me by Rod Stewart --- which was a Wurly.
Lots of hooks were recorded on a Rhodes and a Wurlitzer. Thank you for a great presentation.
Love this! Thanks.
I've been drumming along to almost all of them on the desk!! Sounds great!
Good stuff! Great to see love for Misty Mountain Hop! Probably could have added No Quarter - although I've read it was a Hohner Electra Piano T they used... sure sounds like a Wurly though.
Fantastic selection. Inspiring
Nicely done. Takes me back.
Rosalinda’s eyes!!!
A favorite of mine.
Very nice
Dancin' in the Moonlight, fantastic...
I’m definitely going to save this one. Makes my day.
In 25 years, such a video about today's music will be virtually impossible.
I don't think I need to spell out why.
I get where you're coming from. So glad I grew up when I did.
Not at all. He’s chosen songs from a span of several decades.
This is awesome! Great work and thanks for sharing this! Bravo!
LOVE IT____
Nice playing man.
very nice playing and great song picking
Ray Charles 👏
Thoroughly enjoyed!
Love this!!
1:00 riders on the storm hehehe
Thanks so much for doing all of these intros on the Wurlitzer. Sounds great! And I really appreciate that you included a list of all the songs that you played interest for. So often I hear a song demonstrated on a piano or keyboard and they don’t say what the name of this song is and I can’t remember it. Same with all of your piano intros. Love them
Super cool! Sounds great. Wurlys are my jam🤙🏼
So good! Great playing man!
Great video! Love these songs
I really enjoyed this man thanks.
Very beautiful, i like.
Wonderful!
so effortless...
very cool, thanks for sharing
Awesome playing dude, sounds great!
Love it man, thank you!
Great feel!
Riders on the storm
Next round
At least three Stevie Wonder’s intros so far! Fun stuff.
