Favorite Pop/Rock/R&B Organ Tunes

Could be an intro, one small section or the whole tune.
I'm partial to B-3, but any cool organ will do.

In no particular order, just as they come to me...

Chest Fever - The Band
Hip-Hug-Her - Booker T & The M.G.s
Fire - Arthur Brown
Apricot Brandy - Rhinoceros
Gimme Some Lovin' - Spencer Davis Group
Sookie,Sookie - Steppenwolf
A Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum
Hold Your Head Up - Argent
I've Been Lonely Too Long - The Young Rascals
You Keep Me Hangin' On - Vanilla Fudge
Green Eyed Lady - Sugarloaf
Hush - Deep Purple
The Happy Organ - Dave "Baby" Cortez
Squib Cakes - Tower of Power
Time of the Season - The Zombies
We Gotta Get Out Of This Place - The Animals
Let It Be - The Beatles
You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones
Our Day Will Come - Ruby & The Romantics

...Maybe more as I remember them. What are yours?

I really like it better than Green Onions.

You know what?
Even though I like The Doors, I was never really impressed with the sound of Ray Manzarek's organ.

Yep.
It just has to do with the Vox type instrument he uses and the way it sounds.
Just doesn't have the personality of a hearty Hammond B-3. headbang

Do Farfisas and Moogs count? Or isn't that what you're looking for?

The Vox or Farfisa organs both qualify.
The Moog doesn't as it's a synthesizer.

Well, you didn't mention it, so I thought maybe I was mistaken. It seemed like such an obvious mention. biggrin
