Only Stevie Wonder would put the whole tone scale into a pop song. What an absolute genius. One song I would have included is "Roads" by Portishead. That whole album Dummy is loaded with Rhodes piano, but "Roads" is one where I clearly remember the Rhodes piano by itself in the intro. I wonder if they named it that as a play on words. The word "roads" is never used in the song.

How about a video on the "Famous E Rhodes"? You gave us a little bit of info here, but that leaves several questions. What was it that made it so distinctive? Was the recording method part of its legendary sound? How about more of the legend itself? What were the top songs recorded on it and by whom? Where is it now? Is there an instrument or plug-in available that faithfully reproduces it" Answering these questions and others that you can think of that I should have asked would surely rate a separate video, maybe more than one.

Have to agree with you: “Babylon Sisters” could not be played on anything but a Rhodes. Such a cool hook, like so many of their tracks. Steely Dan had a way of being extremely clever without becoming arty or precious. It was still accessible. So hard to do, especially in the pop world!!

Pierre, I've not read most of the comments but anything by Richard Tee. He was brilliant! Any keyboard he played was wonderful. Rhodes, Hammond B3, piano. Whatever. He really brought the phase shifter Rhodes to light and you could hear much of it on Paul Simon. Sadly he's passed away but will never be forgotten. He played a lot with Tom Scott, my all time favourite sax player and composer. I'm sure you are familiar with Tom. I would so love to have a Rhodes. Some day. Phase shifter a must! Good work on this vid. Enjoyed.

Great list and playing! I was waiting, as the countdown went on and without really believing it, for George Duke's superb intro to "Eat That Question" in Frank Zappa's The Grand Wazoo. For me, an excellent example of the "wild" side of Rhodes, too often cited for its round and pleasant qualities. I like the "barking" side of this great instrument (I still have my Mark II Stage 73 from 1980). And Duke was a real master of that instrument, on par, for me, with Hancock and Corea.

I second that. Didn't think it would be on the list here, but it is an extraordinary Rhodes intro, jazzy and soulful and just out there.

Fabulous top ten! Nice playing! I agree there are countless great Rhodes songs to choose from. Stevie Wonder had many. "Superwoman", "Living For The City" He also played on "Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton. The entire album actually. I love a lot of songs with Dyno'd Rhodes pianos, like "Never Gonna Let You Go" by Sergio Mendes which many mistakenly believe is a DX7 but was actually released before the DX7 came out.

@@DavideCapponi Thanks for the clarification. I was probably just going by memories of a band I was in that played that song and the keyboardist/saxophonist did it on a Rhodes and I couldn't tell the difference. I'll pay more attention in the future, when it comes to choosing the right instrument for my electric piano tracks.

Good list. Nice antique. I'm a an Old Boomer pro keyboardist. My first gigging board was a Rhodes 88 Suitcase. Weighed a ton...constantly needed tweaking and repair...and didn't have the bite that I was hearing from Rhodes on albums, which I found out were almost all modified post-factory. So happy when I sold that thing. Iconic sound...lousy instrument. Thank goodness for synths!
