I'll never forget the day my buddy and I were drunkenly walking down an alley and found a decrepit old Rhodes in a trashcan behind an apartment complex mostly populated by fairly affluent college students. It had- get this- lost the negative connection inside. That's ALL that stopped it from working. I fixed it in like twenty minutes, and we (he's a woodwinds player and I'm a bass/guitar/various strings guy) didn't really know what we were going to do with it other than just plunk around and sit drinks and pool chalk (said buddy had a 7' 1-piece slate table in his living room-priorities) and stuff on it til we met an AWESOME newbie keys player. He later recorded and toured with it, said it was 100% reliable.
I love that song. I know it upside down and backwards from playing it in a wedding band, even though it was 40 years ago. I also played Deacon Blues, a ton of Billy Joel. You found two Bill Withers classics! I'd love to gig with you, man!
78-year-old Piano Tuner-Technician (semi-retired) posting here: As a trainee years ago, I had the privilege of attending a workshop presented by Mr. Rhodes himself: personal history of the piano, tuning procedures, mechanical adjustments, electronics. I still have a Rhodes pick-up in my tool kit feeding into a pocket amplifier so that i can isolate the sound of a single string. This is very helpful while tuning during the sound checks before a live performance!
@@NicolasMelis ¡Sorry, I was not in a business servicing Rhodes. I went around the world with an acoustic tuning kit and a bicycle. (5 years in Indonesia.)
@@easantos79 both "Black Cow" and this one, "Deacon Blues", sound great! Gotta respect Donald Fagan's keyboard voice leading and abilities to make such great grooves and intros.
I never seen the Rhodes like this but it’s totally true. If the DX7 never came out in 1983, it’s very likely that many famous songs featuring the DX7 would have been done with a Rhodes instead.
Agree.. I question the "most famous" aspect of this.. I like your choices.. Also Styx: Babe.. When I read the title, that's the one I expected HAD to be there..
Excellent job. Its amazing how these short snippets bring back so many good memories. And the fact that you included Jamiroquai really made my day. Thank you
Good call-there were a few in there that are a LOT less famous than 10cc...how about Angela by Bob James (or does the recorder carry that "intro"?) and Shake a Tailfeather, the version Ray Charles played with the Blues Brothers? Still Crazy after All These Years? Dreams by Fleetwood Mac (or,is that intro a drum riff)? All way more famous. I'd love to hear these played as expertly as the others in this video!
You got me feeling So nostalgic for Neo-Soul when you played the intros to "Tyron" by Erykah Badu and "Blow Your Mind" by Jamiroquai! Also caught feelings when you played the intro to "Black Cow" by Stealy Dan! Great work, sir.
I LOVE this instrument so much… I’m a guitarist , I can’t play piano, but WISH i had a Rhodes. Beautiful and makes me weirdly nostalgic every time I hear one
Wow! It almost sounds like an ensemble of percussion at the tips of your fingers in an absolutely gorgeous way. Mostly a bass player, had no clue that this is what a Rhodes sounds like although I’ve definitely heard it before.
I thought that "Tell Me what I say" by ray Charles would be here. But I really like this video. My first Band teacher used to bring his Fender Rhones to class.
Amazing songs and playing, especially two of us! I do wish you played bloody well right by supertramp tho, that it one of the most iconic ones out there!
I had an 88 Stage model which I bought in the 80s and sold in the 90s, as I had no room for it. Wish I’d kept it. They have a magical tone and respond quite differently to a hard key pressure compared to a light touch.
I regret the day I sold my Fender Rhodes! But I sold it and my MusicMan amp and Yamaha 15 inch speaker and horn tweeter speaker box so I could buy a Korg 01/Wfd Wave Station and MUSICMAN Guitar amp/speaker box 212HD... back in the late 1980s. I later bought a Yamaha S80 portable 88 keyboard that has some pretty good Rhodes sounds... but nothing is as good as the real deal.... and I remember playing that Billy Joel intro " Don't go changing"... and the Michael McDonald Rhodes intro to Minute by Minute... Great memories for sure... and nice rhodes... 😉
Great job!! I would add that I don't believe a whole tone scale (such as in You are the Sunshine of My Life) was employed in a pop tune before or since-- running up the scale in triads no less. Stevie was amazing. Thank you for doing this!
Nice intros! Well played. Your No Quarter intro is definitely that of Led Zeppelin playing live, as the studio version was played on the Hohner Electrapiano - and I always like to give the Electrapiano a shoutout, as I think it’s an under-appreciated instrument.
@@NicolasMelis , JPJ always used the Electrapiano in the studio (Stairway, Down By the Seaside etc as well as NQ) because it has a much heavier action than the Rhodes, which he liked- very close to an acoustic piano. But it also looks like a granny’s piano, not very cool and very awkward to haul around. So they used the Rhodes live. I have the Hohner Electra here.
I once saw an old Rhodes at my local Sam Ash store. Was painted in sparkly purple Prince style. If I had the money for it I would’ve bought it myself 🙃
I wish I still had my 73. I picked it up cheap, got a service manual and did a complete service, stretch tuned it adjusted the fundamental tones and it sounded great. It was an older one with the wooden frame, I sold it to buy a stupid Marshall amplifier...what was I thinking?
This sounds so good. Between the classics I love the portishead and zep ones very much. They are so dark and atmospheric. Cool stuff, thanks for posting. Cheers
Damn so frustrating! Every time I start to get into the vibe of the song we change to the next one. Makes me want to hear some more! This instrument is magical, so many hits thanks to it!
wow - nice stuff incl a favourite Deacon Blues ! - as a childhood piano player for some reason I never liked the Rhodes key feel and always preferred the Wurly (Wurlitzer) tone, but hey I didn't record these hit songs.
True!My rhodes needs service the keys were stucking down in the bass so i couldnt play more legato cause the keys would not come up! I will service it and make a part 2 video :)
Long known as THE easiest instrument to get lost in a mix. Some of these intros are truly memorable. But as soon as any of the other instruments join in, the Rhodes player can pretty well go lay down and take a nap. Or they might (as usually happened) immediately jump over to a more useful synthesizer or organ that has enough clarity and articulation to have its notes actually discernible. l can't recall any engineers that got excited when they wheeled a Rhodes into the room. That says a lot.
Awwww, you missed one of my faves. Paul Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years." I bought a used Fender Rhodes key bass for $200 at a pawn shop and the guy threw in a blown out 73 key Rhodes that I paid to have overhauled for $300. I played it for years with a church worship team and eventually went with a Korg Sampling Grand. By then we had a decent bass player so I sold the duo to some recording studio through Musician's Friend in New Jersey that was trying to locate the 2 final instruments to round out their retro sounds studio. I ended up blessing them with a deal. Both for $600. I heard the guy's partner scream with glee in the background when I laid the price on them.
Steely Dan Deacon blues. So many legendary songs from the late 60's through late 70's. Can't afford one now, but my Williams keyboard has a good emulation of it. And also have a 77' Yamaha cp25 that sounds almost like it. But nothing beats the original sound and if you have the money buy one used or the new special order ones (5k+usd) sound great too.
@@NicolasMelisSo does mine! I’ve chopped a couple of tines at the very bottom to replace broken ones. The pedals you use are a great choice! I’ve been using the Strymon Flint with my Rhodes lately.

¿Do you know what generates the sound and how the sound gets to the speakers?
The bell like sparkling beauty of a real Rhodes is iconic; it is the 12 string Rickenbacker of the 1970's.
