A great compilation. But what is most impressive is your ability to cover these so perfectly. You are an incredible player (and teacher). Thanks for doing this!
That's very kind, thanks for watching!
"Angela" - theme from Taxi.
Or any Bob James!
Things that stuck out: 1. Steely Dan/Donald Fagen is prominent. 2. How the Rhodes lends itself to jazz chords and voicings. 3. The Ambrosia intro connected with me emotionally, stronger than the others.
Great list...great playing.
Deacon Blues by Steely Dan is my favorite tune of all time! I started to listen to Steely Dan as a freshman at UNC Chapel Hill in 1973. The Fender Rhodes sound is my favorite of all musical instruments....you truly make your Rhodes sing!
I just hope this video doesn't get blocked because of Don Henley. Great list!
Henley's been having a "get off my lawn" moment lately. He needs to take his Xanax and calm down.
haha!
@@jakeperl5857Lately? It's been his brand for decades
The intros from the 70-80ies are the best, as was the music.
The Rhodes is such an amazing instrument. It is a central component of so much great music. One song I would add is No Quarter by Led Zeppelin.
Great list and well played - but I was so sure you'd find room for 'Sheep' by Pink Floyd.
There were SO many in the 1980s , because it was such a prolific and much used keyboard in that decade. Most of my fave intros on Rhodes are from that era. One of my fave Rhodes intros from that time is “what about me?” By Kenny Rogers.
Make it 21 and get that dreamy intro from Deniece Williams' 'Free' in there! ❤
As a keyboardist of over 35 years who’s first purchase (at age 16 with my own money) was a Fender Rhodes Seventy-Three Suitcase, it’s hard to choose as both lists you compiled are awesome! Thank you for playing ALL of those Rhodes intros beautifully! Brought back some great times for me in my younger years as a musician playing gigs with a band. I sure do miss my Rhodes 73 Suitcase. ❤👏🏾👏🏾🎹🎶
I like "Riders on the storm"
Superb list and playing! "James" is essential
So thrilled to see Spain on this list! That was one of my suggestions! All of these songs are worthy of top spots on any list, and the playing is fantastic. Wonderful job, love this.
I keep forgettin’ & I.G.Y. ❤❤❤ Thank You Pierre! 😊
I think you did a fantastic job song my favorites
Another great selection and I'm sure there are many songs you could say this about, but surprised there is no "Angela" Bob James, or "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin!
I think that the intro of Deniece William’s Cause You Love Me Baby was played on a Rhodes piano. A lot of Niecy’s fans here will be delighted if you can make a short cover. 😊 I love your compilations! Thank you very much!
I really think they're both excellent lists. I kept waiting to see where my personal favorite would end up (One hundred ways), and when it was there at #6, it made me excited to see what would end up in the top 5... I had actually forgotten that Chick Corea's originally recording of the intro was on a Rhodes.. I hear it played live on trumpet often.. but yes, hard to beat that melody. Also, I love that Riders on the Storm was most requested... it's a very ubiquitous rhodes intro.. it reminds me of my days as a lounge pianist, where people would request "The Rose" constantly... even though it definitely isn't the best. haha. Love when you do list-vids like this man, thanks for putting this together.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing and happy to see my suggestion included. So many gems here. I think you will need to expand this to a top 100 list. THANKS!
First, the good news then the bad news. The good news you played your top 20 exceptionally well. And now for the bad news - Donald Fagen should be #1 on your list - uptown baby, uptown! 😎
A great list, and EXCEPTIONAL playing, on your part! I think the ranking order is somewhat irrelevant, since they are ALL great intros. Now...how about the Top 20 WURLITZER intros?? I can't WAIT, to hear you play "Bloody Well Right" at #1... 😁
I agree, the rankings are sort of arbitrary!
Rich idea!
All excellent, and now I want lesson videos for the lot of them. Haha. Thanks!!
Ha! A number of people have said that. Guess I have 20 videos to make now! Thanks for watching.
I'm an old guy, (79), so Riders resonated the most with me. Thanks and great job!!
Thanks for including Save Me from Al Jarreau. David Foster is such a great pianist. Check out Lovin' and Losin' You by Dwayne Ford.
I like Tom Cannings playing too
I mean, no need for competition. Between your list and ours, that might be the comprehensive top 30 Rhodes songs of the last 50 years plus or minus some Herbie Hancock/Headhunters work.
Honorable mention goes to:
“A Remark You Made” - Weather Report
“Feelin’ Stronger Every Day” - Chicago
Very nice! There are so many great songs. Thanks!
Spain from Chick Corea, it´s simply amazing piece of art!
Thanks for this amazing compilation. As a result of listening I'm reliving some fond memories. Would love to hear some Billy Preston. Great stuff!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Pierre! You nailed all of them! Great job! 🙏🏼🎶🎹
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Are you familiar with my son Adam’s band Lettuce?
@@bobbydeitchmusic5512 Of course!
I love this list. So many really good ones like I’m Not In Love and Biggest Part of Me.
I agree with #1!!!
Excellent! Here’s another: the Vangelis instrumental entitled ‘Reve.’
Great list but I still would've included "Eat That Question," played by George Duke.
I like that your Top 10 included No Quarter by Led Zeppelin. That might be THE most unique and imaginative uses of the Rhodes.
Riders sounds more like a Wurlitzer than the softer sounding Rhodes. And it would be my number 1 on the list! Great job paesan!!
It's a Rhodes, 100%! Thanks for watching.
Great List, but i think Sheep by Pink Floyd Has a great Rhodes Intro
Honestly, I think some combination of your original list plus this list is perfect
Well played!!! You took me back to a wonderful time in music. I am attempting to play this list on my sampled keys but it’s no match to the Rhodes.
Oh hell yes! Hoping there's some lessons on some of these coming!!!!! HDPiano has some great ones but I seem to pick it up MUCH faster from your teaching method of building off the previous bars each time
TOTALLY AGREE
Thanks! HD Piano has a great channel, but I'm glad you're digging my teaching method. Which would you like to see turned into a lesson?
Spain😍
Great selection of songs. 👍👍
both are great; your audience (and you) have excellent taste, these lists have reminded us of where the great songs and music of the last forty years is located :)
Another amazing video. Thank you so much. Both lists are so great. Now, please break them all down and teach us!! Or I am happy to sign up for private / remote lessons.
I guess I could make 20 videos out of this! Thanks for watching. I do teach remotely-- feel free to reach out to me anytime through my website.
Both lists are great. It is funny that most of the songs are from many years ago. One of my favorite electric piano intros is One on One by Hall & Oates and London Town by Wings…not sure if they used a Rhodes.
With a Little Luck also short but sweet
Bravo, got the effects almost perfect on most them also. Great playing. Thought Styx - Babe might make this list. Maybe it was on your top 10, don't remember
Love that you did this! Both were dope but I have to give it to the people on the Rhodes#2 selections !
Miami, Angry Young Man, Leningrad, Running on Ice
Twenty is ten better than ten. :)
Kia Ora Pierre, Greetings from New Zealand. Very well done mate. Great video and great teaching. Keep up the excellent work
Splendid!
All those years ago George Harrison
Greetings from Brazil
Amazing video ! Beautiful sounding Rhodes
I was surprised to realize how many of these are great songs but personally I don't think the intro stands out on its own that much. There are some bangers in here alright (I'd say Spain being #1 for me) but I think I prefer your original list overall.
Be as it may, super cool to see you perform all of them!
Great lists, but I’m missing M. MacDonald “Watching the World Go By”.
Great video! My favourites are I Can't Tell You Why by the Eagles and Riders on the Storm by the Doors.
Your office chair rocks
Steelcase!
Could you make a video about your Rhodes piano? It sounds great and looks to be in top condition.
Sure! It's in pretty good shape for its age. I'll talk about it more in-depth some day.
Great concept! I think your Top 10 should have been a Top 12 adding a couple from Top 20 especially #1, the Doors.. iconic.
Not Like This -Al Jerreau/ Jeremy Lubbock
Rosalinda and James great deep Billy cuts!
nice lists
Quite nice.
I feel like a Rhodes Scholar now.
When do we get Best Mellotron intros?
When somebody buys me a mellotron 🤣
both lists are awesome! that was fun watching and listening to it! but of course there's room for even more compilations ... here is my suggestion (hope i didn't miss it in the first one..): shake a tail feather - by the blues brothers / ray charles. :)
Please do INSIDE MY LOVE by Minnie Ripperton (Leon Ware). Such a beautiful song!
Super tasty! Great stuff Pierre.
I thought that playing anything Eagles that YT would reach through your computer and disable your Rhodes.😂 I had totally forgotten that track. Thanks for bringing it out.
Somehow I got away with it!
Not to throw shade on your list Pierre, but the users seem quite in favor of Fagen. Honestly you could do a top 100 list and you’d still leave off some gems.
I always loved Bloody Well Right by Supertramp. Can’t believe it didn’t make the cut😢. At least I think it’s a Rhodes piece.
Wurlitzer, not a Rhodes!
Really nice selection in both videos! I was going to suggest Where It's At by Beck, but that might be a wurlitzer.
As long as Donald Fagen and Steely Dan are included in the list i'm happy
love it - plz hit us with the best CP-70 intros next :-)
Pleeeeeeez..... a breakdown of Gaucho??? For years I've been searching...
while simple Rhodes all the way "riders on the storm " liked your set better more adapted to Rhodes keyboard minute by minute for me there
Angelas (Theme from Taxi)
One of my favorites, but it doesn't have an intro. The melody starts right at the top. Maybe I'll save it for a greatest "songs" video or something like that?
gotta go with 20
but 10 was solid
Kick the next one off with "Time Passages"...why stop now? 😁
Another fav of mine
Thanks - what is your Rhodes signal chain in this video? Sounds great, not too harsh, yet detailed!
Thanks! Incredibly simple. It's going into a cheap SSL interface into Logic. Tiny bit of stereo reverb, stereo chorus, phaser, tremolo whenever those are needed. Mostly Logic default plugins!
@@pierrejpiscitelli Thanks, so it must be the player, too 😅! SSL 2 has 1 MΩ instrument input impedance - you go there directly from the harp, or via the passive tone / volume stack in your Rhodes?
I have a copy the charts for "The Biggest Part of Me" and arranger Jimmy Haskell specified that the keyboards not play the bass notes. Not a criticism, I just thought it was interesting.
Absolutely. Left hand is unnecessary in that case as it would crash with the bass player. I was just doing it since I'm playing all by myself!
Good list. Once again though, Eagles “New Kid in Town” DISSED! 😀
Hmmm, sounds like that "Spain" song is cribbing from Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez".
Of course!
Where is The Doobie Brothers Minute By Minute?🙈 Belongs in the top 5.
That’s already in my top 10 video that I referenced! This is a part two.
What about top 10 song intros that were not on a Rhodes, but sound better if they were?
Great video makes we wonder - Does Yamaha modx has a good Rhodes on it???
Yes it’s decent, but I purchased the Purgatory Creek Rhodes samples for my MODX which are much better!
@pierrejpiscitelli Maybe you know the name of the built in preset ?
I will surly check the library you recommended
Please will you teach 'This will be' (an everlasting love) by Natalie Cole.
Great!!! But still no King Harvest, Dancin' in the Moonlight????
That's a Wurlitzer, not a Rhodes!
@@pierrejpiscitelli Oh! Thanks for the correction. Have you done a Wurlitzer video?
@@MichaelBCoats not yet, but I probably should!!
wonderful and perfet performance , also i like your mix on Logic pro , may i know what kind of plugins you used ? i have Rhodes MKii 1982 and i wish to record and have the same resolt as you did
thank you
Thanks! incredibly simple, stock stuff that comes with Logic.... Space designer reverb, stereo chorus, stereo tremolo, etc. I try to match the effect to each particular song.
@@pierrejpiscitelli
thank you so much for your answer
can you include "I dont like mondays"-Boom town rats
No Joni Mitchell Woodstock....for shame!
Fallen, Lauren Wood
christopher cross song?
Great playing! Does the lowest E key on your Rhodes happen to be silent? I noticed this with the bass line in the intro riff of Al Jarreau‘s "Save Me"?
Probably the pickup placement-- it hasn't been tuned or worked on for over 10 years! The lowest E is definitely quiet.
I Keep Forgettin and Gaucho should be switched! I thought for sure "Angela" was gonna be #1
Angela is amazing, but there's no intro! The tune starts at the top. I'll definitely showcase that piece in a different video.
No styx 😢
Almost made the list. There could be a “Top 1000” honestly…
Neither video had Reminiscing from LRB which is a cryin' shame.
Great song. Thousands and thousands of possibilities, but had to pick 20...
Nice…..just wish I could see your hands from above….
Excuse me for asking because I'm new to this. Do all Rhodes keyboards have only THAT specific sound or is it just a commonly used sound among artists? Thank you!
Yes, it's a mechanical instrument, not a synthesizer. Nothing computerized inside!
@@pierrejpiscitelli Thank you! I always thought it was a type of synth and that you could change sounds like normally and that people just preferred this specific "rhodes" sound because it was a trend at some point in time. Very interesting to know this sound is achieved purely mechanically.
I cant help it ?
Yes, I covered that in my original Top 10 video that I referenced!
No "Minute by Minute"? Surprising.
That was on my original list! This is based on the comments section. Go watch the original video :)
I think a combo of both. I don't know if this was on the comment's list. It should be.
