Most Famous Wurlitzer Electric Piano Intros
I have recorded the Wurlitzer straight to my Apollo Twin.
I used UAD Fender 55 Tweed Deluxe for the Jamiroquai tune and a bit of reverb for the Supertramp tune

"Bloody Well Right" pretty well woke me up one bleary-eyed Saturday morning after a party with some friends. Until that point, they had had all the fun, but that intro is what makes the Wurlitzer for me.

I actually have a song book with tons if famous keyboard intros on it. And that's one of the intros. I think it's by Mel Bay Publishing. They released several books with pop rock transcriptions of keyboard intros, solos,and accompaniments. You can Google search for them and probably find some for sale somewhere.

@someinternetrando4993 24 дня назад

It's Stevie's 'I Wish' for me.

@graemeyetts3465 День назад

Thank you. I learned something in that I thought Bloody Well Right, a favourite of mine, was played on a Rhodes! A Donald Fagen video interview brought me here❤

whats the title of the book? :)

@richardlangellotti6208 3 месяца назад

Pretzel Logic, Black Friday, other tunes I know well. I played in a Steely Dan cover band. I'd love to play Supertramp all day; i know a lot of those tunes. My nephew kinda appropriated my original, 1982 Fender Rhodes stage Mark II 73 key EP (but he's got a studio). But i got a Yamaha S90-es, so I have all those patches and more. Think funky clavinet, DX-7, about 50 organ patches, every damn thing. I really need a gig!

@Hotdawgfilms 2 месяца назад

"I Wish" was played on a Rhodes. It was an older, worn out Rhodes so its sound was a little rougher around the edges so it's understandable how it could be confused for a Wurlitzer.

@NicolasMelis 2 месяца назад

Yes you are right!

@drgruber57 6 дней назад

Thanks - excellent job! Part 2: "Jeans On" - David Dundas Side thought: the Wurly on Abba's "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is fantastic! Sounds like it's run through a big reverb, FOLLOWED by a phaser. Absolute genius production IMHO.

@Shred_The_Weapon 4 месяца назад

I don’t mind sharing that there was (at least) one instance when I mistook a Rhodes piano for a Wurlitzer piano. That was off of my first classic Chicago song, “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day”. That demonstrated for me how it’s possible to get one of them to sound like the other (if only in the middle of the pitch range), if not vice versa.

I was in a band 10 years ago, we did I Wish - keyboard was a Korg of 1000 voices. I was playing bari sax. My own Roland VR09 has several EP patches but none really have the right sound. One of these days I’ll try running it thru a chorus or something. Re: Supertramp. Goodbye Stranger is my old Freedom Song from back in 79.

This is a kickin’ list. Honorable mention for a song that doesn’t begin with a Wurlitzer piano but include some very impressive Wurlitzer stylings before the vocal kicks in: “Top of the World - Carpenters. Did Donald Fagen play the piano parts of Black Friday on both Wurlitzer and Rhodes?

It's hard to get the pulse in Logical Song right. Roger doesn't do it staccato like that but more legato, he releases the keys only half for the next pulse. The accents are on 1, 4 and 7 where the others are much softer. Again hard to get right and I haven't seen anyone do it properly.
