I worked at C.B.S./Fender Musical Instruments 1971 -77 in Fullerton Calif in the "Keyboards" Dept. I assembled thousands of the Rhodes including two for Apple Records and John Lennon. Many other famous groups/songs. I am very proud of my contribution to great music. My hands touched each piano before anyone else and I know every part can put one together from just the parts. Each "Harp" as we called them was Pitched before assembly and adjustments made to the spring. I used a Hammer from a piano to hit each tine near the base.... checked three times per key to be sure it was good.

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!

I remember the day I discovered Rosalinda's Eyes. I fell asleep to it, it was just so soothing. Great Video!

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.

[lylelong]

Donald Fagen is absolutely the master of the Rhodes wow. Stevie too! That Ambrosia tune is also gorgeous.

[daddiodave]

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!

[bajanguy]

Your Rhodes playing captures so much emotion. Splendid. I luv I.G.Y and Greatest Part of Me so much. They remind me of when I was growing up in the Caribbean, hearing them on the radio.

The intros from the 70-80ies are the best, as was the music.

[BenBreed-synthguy]

Rumors In The Air - Night Ranger
Sheep - Pink Floyd
No quarter - Led Zeppelin
Angela - Taxi Theme
What's Goin On - Marvin Gaye
Lovely Day - Bill Withers
Cosmic Girl - Jamiroquai
Babe - Styx
Butterfly - Herbie Hancock

These are are some of my favorite Rhodes intros, I would love to see a part 3 of this! After 2 Rhodes videos, you've got me hooked! That was a great list you put together

[thefilmsofjohngreenwood]

No Quarter by Led Zep has a stunning Fender Rhodes intro.

[glennanderson]

What an iconic instrument. We could easily come up with 20 more universally recognized intros and you could brilliantly reproduce them on that beautiful sounding Rhodes. Well done, as always.

[zmsy]

Glad you included Riders on the Storm! Thanks for doing this. Really enjoyed it. You've got chops.

[StarQueenEstrella]

Honestly, I think some combination of your original list plus this list is perfect

[aleksamrkela]

I just hope this video doesn't get blocked because of Don Henley. Great list!

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. ❤👏🏾👏🏾🎹🎶

[ncmblur]

I was sooo happy to see you play some of Billy’s most underrated songs!!!! Rosalinda’s Eyes and James are such great songs! And the Rhodes intros are some of the best! So glad to see James as #1!

[boomerdell]

I love “New Frontier”! Such a great song on a superb album.

[jrdiii]

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.

[CocktailFridays]

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.

You have followers with very good taste! And you and your rhodes gives me the chills all the way to Stockholm❤❤❤
