Thread Name: More stuff about the circle of 5ths
Subject: RE: More stuff about the circle of 5ths
////Listen again to "Sugar, Sugar" The vibes are doubling that lick with the organ, which is also all over the bottom.////

That's a Rhodes. If an organ was doubled with the vibes, it's a Hammond B-3 (almost a Jon Lord sound) and not a Farfisa but I think it's a Rhodes playing extra heavy on the bass notes.

///And listen to "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" again, it doesn't stand out, though it is more obvious in the last verse. As the young folks say, "It's in the mix."////

Don't hear it.

////And check the picture of the band. Their organ player was one of the most famous cartoon characters of all time:-)
The Archies////

Yeah, well, there was no vibes player in the cartoon band but there certainly is in the studio recording. How much stock can you put in that?

////And hey, I am not trying to be a jerk about this stuff--it's music that I listened to and played long ago, and I am just trying to share what I know about it, for what it's worth :-)////

I appreciate it but, as a said, I was making a stereotypical comparison. I could have said Christmas songs or children's songs and it still would have been stereotypical because they're not all major 7ths either.
