"BONGO ROCK" by Preston Epps. Sold a lot of bongos.



"REBEL ROUSER" by Duane Eddy also "BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUNG"





"THE HORSE" by Cliff Nobles & Company (He moved back home to S. Africa shortly after this appearance.)



"SCORPIO" by Dennis Coffey & The Detroit Guitar Band (Bob Babbitt on wicked bass line)



"HAWAII FIVE-O" by the Ventures (Dig the cool vintage axes, Sunn Amps and the Farfisa Organ!)



And a couple of songs that technically are NOT instrumentals because they have one or two word lyrics.

"SOUL FINGER" by the Bar-Kays



"TEQUILA" by the Champs

I'm kinda partial to Grand Funk's Flight Of The Phoenix. Love the B3 work and the infectious energy.

I just read that Pink Floyd's new upcoming album The Endless River, due out very soon, will not only be their last but it will also be an entirely instrumental album. I suspect that may very well alter more folks opinions than just mine of what is the best instrumental song.

As a side note I find it immensely gratifying and a little amusing as well that this album will have no lyrics ... knowing the history of the band as I do. There is a smug little smirk on my face even as I type this.

:wink:
