About a year ago I did a Midweek Spot featuring Rick Beato and his Top 20 Guitar Intros.

Now it's song intros, as selected by me. I've tried to pick songs you'd know, rather than any obscure album tracks, so you are at least partly familiar. (Rules are simple:- 1) it must predominantly be a vocal song & 2) the intro must last at least 30 seconds, to qualify). 

Last week's track, by The Doors, in fact set up the idea with its 1:06 minute intro. I have plenty of tracks ear marked and have gone for a one track from each decade approach, starting today with the sixties. 

From December 1967 a Christmas hit for the Small Faces and 'Tin Soldier'. One of my all time favourite intros at 40 seconds, this excellent video features P.P. Arnold, who sang on the original recording. From the top ... 'come on'

As mentioned this is just the beginning of a run through the decades, check back Monday for Parts Two and Three. 

Just look out for this sign: (see if you can think of what's coming next)
