Post Your Favorite Instrumental Oldies Here

[OneEyedDiva]

I've been listening and dancing to my 45 playlists today, which is what made me think to post this thread. A couple of years ago, I painstakingly took the time to find about 300 of them (all except 2) on YouTube and made playlists. SO much easier than using those little inserts. I have quite a few instrumental favorites which I'll be posting along and along. These are two of my first instrumental favorites (besides Jazz tunes).

I love the movie theme to Out of Africa. Always makes me tear up a bit.

Bretrick: I've always loved all of Herb Alpert music.

He did have some great intrumental pieces.

I was just going to post then when I read the posts above. Seems Herb Alpert is a favorite among many of us.

Love me some Santana.

The fun tune by Homer Louis III "Boots" Randolph - Yakkety Sax, (1963) adopted by Benny Hill as the theme for his show.

This was always one of my favorites too Imogene. I only recently found out that they are brothers.

@seadoug & @Rich I love Santana too. He's the one artist I'm sorry I never got to see in person.

Their hit Green Onions overshadowed this but I've always thought this is the coolest.

I hate to admit to myself that this is an "oldie" but it has been almost 50 years since it's release. The entire album still sounds fresh to me but this has always been my favorite from the album.
