Ohhhh, YAAASSS! Bring on the Quincy! I loooooved him so much. I've got his autobiography on my shelf. His life was amazing, such a gripping read I didn't move off my sofa for about 3 days while I read it!
Honorable mention goes to not to my first Chicago song but the first one I associated with the band name, “Feeling Stronger Every Day”. The first time I remember hearing it was around 1991. As I began learning about different instruments often used in rock music, I thought the electric piano played on this song was a Wurlitzer. I only figured out when I was 20 in 2000 that it was a suitcase Rhodes.
I missed "10cc - I'm Not In Love" and "Manfred Mann - Blinded by the Light" ! Maybe in a next "Best of Rhodes Piano" ! 😉 😇 You are an asset to this planet ! 🙏 🖖LIVE LONG AND PROSPER 🖖

Loved the selection, however I agree with the other Supertramp fans “ Bloody Well Right “ and would also include Led Zeppelin Misty Mountain Hop. Can’t wait for the Quincy Jones special. So sorry to hear that your friend has passed, I know how special the invite to the Hollywood Bowl Birthday Party meant to you ❤
The chord progressions in One Hundred Ways are so beautiful. Same with Just Once. Kudos to Quincy Jones, James Ingram and all the composers. Some of the best music ever.
Rhodes is the holy grail for me, it was the riders on the storm that got me in my youth. Breakin it down for me, made me feel that much closer to the doors. I played the sax, and I use the Aerophone wind controller to play the raindrop. I work on it for several month, until one day my fingers took over and I wasn't thinking it anymore. It was a great day of victory.
What gorgeous sounds! I would agree that on Living for the City it was probably layered. Watching a live version on TH-cam the lowest bass note is played on a bass guitar.
Like a lot of others, I suspect, first thing I did was spin round to my keyboard and work out the "Billy Joel mistake" to check I wasn't making it! Love this episode but after how much I loved your "Big Band Bossa" breakdown I am, 'very sadly' looking forward to your Quincy tribute - absolute genius and a big loss. .
At the beginning of the video, I was thinkin' that How Deep is Your Love might be my favorite song of all time (at least a top three)... it's a nice surprise hearing it from Doctor Mix too! 🤝
While there were stereo recordings of piano performances and recitals, and there were experiments even in the 1960s, rotary speakers drove home the point of a stereo sound system. It enveloped you! Very cozy, like electric organs. And it's even more exaggerated with this plugin (good thing). I know quite a few songs I would put here before The Doors... :P but top video! You nailed this upload, Mr. Doctor. :)
Hello, thank you so much for this video - your talent is amazing - I read Quincy jone's bibliography - what a life! - In France, we are lucky to have an author who has written about the synthesizer epic, rhode included - incredible entrepreneur and incredible era. It's worth going to wikipedia to see how this keyboard was invented.🍳🛸
You could easily make this a top ten and include "New Frontier" by Donald Fagen, "Still Crazy After All These Years" by Paul Simon and "A Spaceman Came Travelling" by Chris deBurgh. Great video and sounds Dr Mix.
Hi Dr. I had no idea you were Culture Killer at another time. Its great to see you again, and your keyboard colection is most impressive. What model Roland is it you are playing at the beginning? That workstation looks huge.
Wonderful! Please tell me that you had to practice some of these before recording to get them note for note! Otherwise I'm feeling very inadequate as I slop some of these sometimes!
Nice sounds. The intro of the Riders of the storm is not correct though , as in original song, there is a full bar with only the Ostinato bass notes before the descending cascade of 16th notes which imitate the rain. The key signature is also Also the melodic between that doest start on beat 1 but between beat 3 and 4 and finally the original key signature is different. It is so iconic. Other than that , well done.
Until now, the Rhodes VST of reference was AAS Lounge Lizzard, it's a great plugin but their price is ludicrous, more than twice that of Rhodes ! So the choice is a no brainer.
The Rhodes Anthology is nice in a certain range of not too dynamic play, and mostly covered in its effects. Outside of that, the small sample size in connection with some kind of modelling does not deliver the same Rhodes quality as The Famous E, Keyscape and Scarbee deliver. Still I like using it for some special use cases, with the Sparkletop variation better playable and not as problematic as the original or NIs version of it, just offering some pleasant vintage sound. Attack and release also can sound a bit unnatural in this new Rhodes plugin. And the modelled amps are only static snapshots and not well adjustable. Finally its midrange heavy warmth, while sounding pleasant solo, is quite problematic in a mix, and it doesn't sound good any longer for my taste, when you turn down the mellow mids: this plugin is incapable of kicking butt with a more agressive, less lower mids heavy sound, like a real amped Rhodes is very capable of doing. To sum up my experience with it: Lots of limits, and some really nice sweet spots.

6, is living for the city;
not leavin'
I've said it once and I'll say it again, I can listen to Claudio play a Rhodes all day.
Ohhhh, YAAASSS! Bring on the Quincy! I loooooved him so much. I've got his autobiography on my shelf. His life was amazing, such a gripping read I didn't move off my sofa for about 3 days while I read it!
A single thumbs-up button is not enough for this video. Brilliant, Mr. Passavanti. Brilliant video.
I LOVE the sound of a Rhodes, it's so iconic.

The sound of the Rhodes heals the soul!

"Bloody Well Right" by Supertramp...one of the best Rhodes intros ever IMHO...😊

Beautiful piano and vocal, thank you
Have fun watching!!! Love your attention to details!!!it’s the little things that make the record!!!
can't wait for the QJ content man, cool video, i learned a lot from it, keep it up !!
I agree w/ this list, but c'mon no Angela (TAXI Theme) probably one of the most well know Rhodes themes. (;
Maybe in part 2 ((:
LIVING for the city. Love the video!!
Ain't no doubt - the Rhodes always grabs the ear. Fantastic sound and a cool piece of musical furniture.
Rhodes is the holy grail for me, it was the riders on the storm that got me in my youth. Breakin it down for me, made me feel that much closer to the doors.

Well done Marco! Good choice. When I think of Rhodes piano I think of The Doors, "Riders on the storm" (my fave) and Supertramp!
I love all these songs. You really nail the sounds. Thanks for this video.
The great Blue Weaver in How Deep is your Love!
I was also expecting "Sheep" by Pink Floyd... 😉
What a GREAT list!!!!!! Thank you - I grew up with these (& my Dad's Fender Rhodes).
Holy cow man. That Quincy tune sounds amazing!
Thanks Claudio you made my day with the electric piano ❤👍👍😊
Sounds beautiful. What an instrument!
Your talent is wild. Great work as always
Good sounds, great plug-in, thank you!
What gorgeous sounds!
I would agree that on Living for the City it was probably layered. Watching a live version on TH-cam the lowest bass note is played on a bass guitar.
Love it! Thanks!
I wish you had more time to teach . You would be a great teacher. You have many gifts.

Great tutorial!
Bee Gees you're favorit of all times ? I love it :) thanks for all the good content ! You're the best !
At the beginning of the video, I was thinkin' that How Deep is Your Love might be my favorite song of all time (at least a top three)... it's a nice surprise hearing it from Doctor Mix too! 🤝
Wonderful and I love it - another great Intro: Styx: Babe 👍👍👍
All great! Have you tried No Quarter ? That has to be up there with the best of them!

Excellent choice of songs.
Grande! Super intros, pure One Hundred Ways! ❤ Congrats Claudio 🖖
Luv it 👏 came here because I Heard it Through the Grapevine 😅😅😅 maybe the next playlist. Subed.
I love hearing the songs, and your playing Claudio! I can't wait to hear the next Rhodes song. I'm not sure you can top "Never can say goodbye..."
Who doesn't love a bit of Rhodes. Thanks Doc.
Great Video 👍
Good list. Would add Supertramp's Bloody Well Right, with a great intro by Rick Davies.
Going to study and learn these!
Hello, thank you so much for this video - your talent is amazing - I read Quincy jone's bibliography - what a life! - In France, we are lucky to have an author who has written about the synthesizer epic, rhode included - incredible entrepreneur and incredible era.

Love the sound of electric piano -I have the Arturia stuff-how about -Mama told me not to come -3 dog night--sounds great
Young & Co - 'I Like What You're Doing to Me' (12 inch version)
Michael Jackson - 'I Can't Help It'
Jamiroquai - 'Blow Your Mind'
+1 for Blow Your Mind. Can't go wrong with Toby.
Check out Azymuth. Villa Mariana - De Tarde has some great rhodes on it.
_Music hit differently in the 70's_
_Thx for taking me back Dr. Mix_
Dammit I'm a sucker for a Rhodes piano! 😁😍
Thank you!
You could easily make this a top ten and include "New Frontier" by Donald Fagen, "Still Crazy After All These Years" by Paul Simon and "A Spaceman Came Travelling" by Chris deBurgh. Great video and sounds Dr Mix.
My favourite electric piano of all times
Such tasty selections!
Favoritt Roades song is Pekka Pohjola with sekoilu seestyy🥰 And of course Roades
how deep is your love hehe that first tune.
One of my all-time favorite tones..nothing compares to a Rhodes, except for the Whirlitzer...
Rhodes my beloved ❤❤❤
Fun video!
Hi Dr. I had no idea you were Culture Killer at another time. Its great to see you again, and your keyboard colection is most impressive. What model Roland is it you are playing at the beginning? That workstation looks huge.
Very nice music class 🌟
the dude such an incredible album forreal!
Nice ❤ Doktor 🎉🎉🎉
Yes to this.
Bee Gees In My Heart ❤
Wonderful! Please tell me that you had to practice some of these before recording to get them note for note! Otherwise I'm feeling very inadequate as I slop some of these sometimes!
Grande Claudio,in the Heart
The ears on this man!
Yes, it's amazing how he can recreate complex chord progressions on the spot !
Rhodes, the perfect sound 🖤
We agree on places 1 and 4.
Oh que belleza escuchar todos estos intros
I have to admit I've never heard that James Ingram song, I'll listen to it right away!
Awesome !!
baby come back - Player
no quarter - Led Zeppelin
+1 for No Quarter 🙂
Nice sounds. The intro of the Riders of the storm is not correct though , as in original song, there is a full bar with only the Ostinato bass notes before the descending cascade of 16th notes which imitate the rain.

my fave rhodes intro santana 'dawn/go within' from moonflower
Dope !
In the mix.....with dr mix!!
"Riders on the storm" is in the wrong key??? the songs in Em, your version is in Dm? strange
i also noticed this, maybe because it simplifies that descending line in semiquavers, by using just white keys
Superb
Mark 1 rules. I’m biased because I have one lol. Seriously though most of the classics were made on a mark 1 stage or suitcase so I had to get one.
thanks Doctor - 🎹❤
Living For The City, not Leaving For The City - LOL. But I like your playing! GREAT!
Until now, the Rhodes VST of reference was AAS Lounge Lizzard, it's a great plugin but their price is ludicrous, more than twice that of Rhodes ! So the choice is a no brainer.
Dr Mix please do Hard Habit To Break keys
I don't believe you have missed Stely Dan Babylon Sisters song!
2:54 it's Living for the City.
He's not leaving any time soon.
Thanks for the relaxing time, with these Rhodes sounds... How about Styx - Babe? Classic!! :D

Dr Mix! I am looking for a vintage Yamaha keyboard
Living for the city , not ‘leaving’.
I recommend you the solo intro of Rhodes piano of Juan Pachanga salsa song, played by maestro Papo Lucca. Regards, Claudio!
Very good. Was supertramp - The logical song played on a Rhodes?
Wurlitzer.
Nr. 7 is the best. But -10 CC "I am not in love" , is not on the list, but also good .
Riders on the storm brings me back into the streets of NFS Underground 2 😎
"Never Gonna Let You Go" by Sergio Mendes is my fav. Rhodes song:-) Doctor Mix, can you explain key changes in that song? It keeps changing, right?
awesome video as always but how could you possibly forget Bob James Angela, also known as the theme from taxi!
