Favorite instrumental songs

[Chdamn]

For the purposes of this thread I’d like to stick to music composed in the last century. No Beethoven, Bach etc.

One of my favorites is Buckaroo by Buck Owens.

Can’t forget dueling banjos. Love this one too.

And my mom and sister use to play this one all the time when I was young. Kinda girly but I remember it fondly.

Before my time obviously but every time I hear this in a movie I think man I bet that was absolute fire when it was released.

One Stormy Night by the Mystic Moods Orchestra 1966
The whole album is awesome.

This is just an example. I had several CDs years ago that I really liked by The John Tesh Project. They were covers of well known songs with a sax replacing the voice. I enjoy that type of music when you know the song and can kinda sing along in your head as you listen. CDs were Sax at the Movies, Sax on the Beach, Sax all Night, and maybe another one?

[Gator]

Another casual fan of the big band era ( I played the trumpet all through school ).

I always wondered why you would name an instrumental "Sing, Sing, Sing". This one always gets me moving.

Honestly the first instrumental song that came to mind

This was the second one that came to mind. Another from my childhood. I waited all week for Friday night so I could see the woman in the bikini top for 3 seconds...

The keyboard player in the organ trio (second vid above) is running the whole bass line with his feet.

The keyboard player for The Doors used to do that.
