I don't have the track to hand, but isn't there B-3 on "Sexy MF"?

This is a sound I associate very much with summer. Some faves:

Danny Federici (E Street Band) is a B-3 whiz.

"Crystal Blue Persuasion" has a nice B-3 part.

Blue Rodeo has some nice B-3 on their records.

Again, don't have the track here, but I believe that's a B-3 on "Joint 2 Joint"?

Nice B-3 intro on "Like A Rolling Stone", but if I have to hear the story of how Al Kooper wasn't a keyboard player, yada, yada, yada, one more time...

90% of Al Green's ballads.....

Devil's Den - The Poets [organ by James Brown]
I Am Love - the Jackson 5
Tighten' Up - Archie Bell & the Drells

Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House

Sure is.

Here's a few more...

I Can't Stand Myself - James Brown
Rock Steady - Aretha Franklin
Do You Know What I Mean - Lee Michaels
Joe Tex - Buddy Miles Express
Eli's Coming - Three Dog Night
You've Made Me So Very Happy - Blood, Sweat & Tears
Evil Woman - Spooky Tooth
Hocus, Pocus - Focus

...from one B-3 freak to another, I won't even attempt to list all the Jazz tunes.

I knew tA would smoke everyone else's asses here.

"Joint 2 Joint": Live B-3 or Memorex?

Ace said:

Not really. It's just that I did a similar thread a while back...

Favorite Pop/Rock/R&B Organ Tunes

...I'm a B-3 Head from way back.

60s Soul band The Mandala (from Canada)...



...had a great B-3 player in Josef Chirowski.


I'm guessing a synth patch on that one.
If not, that sound reminds me of the VOX/Farfisa type organ...

Pump It Up - Elvis Costello
96 Tears - ? and The Mysterians
She's About A Mover - Sir Douglas Quintet
Wooly Bully - Sam The Sham & The Pharoahs
I Can Help - Billy Swan
House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals

...you hear in those tunes.

Actually, Because - The Dave Clark 5 belongs in that list.

If you want to hear some funky B3, pick up Medeski, Martin & Woods Shackman



Some of the Funkiest B3 i've ever heard!

How about "Freeze Frame" By the J Geils Band? That organ hook is funky.

Roxy Music- "Editions of You"

Loads of Tom Waits songs!!!

Telephone Call From Istanbul...for example...

My fave Waits B-3 part is on "Date to Church" (his collab w/The Replacements, credited to "Reverend Backwash" ).
