Quote:fyi - the string intro to "Georgia," by Ray C is remarkably similar to the horn intro of "Try a Little Tenderness", by Otis R.I'm not sure about the intro comparison but i do know that "Try a Little Tenderness" is one of my all time favorite songs... It could bring me back from a Code Blue- that's how much i love that song. Maybe i should buy an Id bracelet..." In case of an emergency ' try a little tenderness by Otis Redding' then administer CPR. " I get chills just thinking about the song. Thanks sgs4u,RanG

Quote: It is amazing how many songs actually were written with now-forgotten prologues, such as the one to White Christmas, that no one uses. Not in style any more.Yea, my Grandma had an old Victrola and a bunch of 78's from the 30's. As I remember, nearly all the songs from back then had an intro section before they got to the meat of the song.Some of the song titles were priceless, like "Her Beaus Are Only Rainbows." My fave was "Mississippi Mud" by Bing Crosby with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra. Pretty racist lyric, but I guess par for the times. The band really swung, though.Come to think of it, "Honey Pie" on the Beatles White Album has a prologue. Maybe the last song written with one!Ern
