Songs with the "Leslie Speaker" sound

[Taverner]

That is, where the horns spin, giving it a phase-ey sound.

An example - the guitar on Elton John's "All the Girls Love Alice"

1. Blue on Green

Booker T and the MGs

[Taverner]

3. You mean Green Onions?

[DFW]

5. Nope. "Blue on Green"

Some obscure tune on one of their albums where Booker T kept turning the Leslie on and off to perfect effect.

*on edit--I found a short clip on amazon-UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blue-On-Green-LP-Version/dp/B001EZ802A

John Lord got his keyboard sound by sending it through Leslies.

8. One of my favorite Philly area musicians up through the 90's was Earl Hines...

.
.
.
... who fronted The Earl Hines R&B Quartet on a Hammond C-3 and a Leslie speaker.
.
.
.
He was in his 70's when I asked him if, after lugging those enormously heavy
monsters to-and-from gigs for decades, he had ever been tempted to get a light
electronic organ with a Hammond/Leslie feature programmed into it.
.
.
.
He told me that he had NEVER heard anyone program that sound just right -- "it's
the tubes, man -- the TUBES!!!"
.
.
.
He did admit, however... that after he reached the age of 65, he stopped booking
second-floor gigs.

:rofl:

9. Heard Sam Yahel using one with a Hammond B-3 a week ago yesterday.

His trio opened for Steely Dan at the Wang Theater in Boston. I was very impressed by them.
The spinning horn(s) were easily visible from my seat

16. Pink Floyd's "Echoes"

The ethereal "pinging" that serves as the basis for the track is Rick Wright playing a grand piano through a Leslie.

[smoochpooch]

17. You mean like "Crimson and Clover?" I think that's what is used. nt

18. Any jazz song by Jimmy Smith

20. Julie Driscoll with Brian Auger & The Trinity's killer cover

of "Light My Fire." Can't find a youtube link. :( From the 1969 LP "Streetnoise." Most real-sounding recording of a Hammond organ through a tube-powered Leslie speaker ever. And I am paid to offer my opinion about such things. Seriously, a guy at a hi-fi show demoing a $250,000 system wouldn't let me out of the room until I let him rip it from my CD.

And the reason Jon Lord's Hammond sounded the way it did was because he drove his Leslie speakers with freaking Marshall Major 200 watt tube guitar amplifiers. Keith Emerson did the same thing, but with ultra-clean sounding Hiwatt tube amplifiers.

21. I actually just posted one on YouTube

It's a song I wrote a few years ago and re-recorded recently.

Thete's a guitar with a Leslie effect in the second half of the bridge, even though I think I mixed it too low.
