@GoodsellAmplifiers

Nathan Downing - Zawinul probably did play a 140, but the definitive Ray Charles tone from ‘What I’d Say’ was the earlier 120, which had longer reeds and cruder action. The soundboards and reeds from the 140/145 were interchangeable with the later and best-known 200, so their sound was much closer. FWIW, the Fender Rhodes was initially available only as the bass version, with the 73 and 88 to follow in ‘66 or ‘67, well after ‘Mercy, Mercy, Mercy’ was originally penned.

Thanks for sharing so much love to the Wurlitzer with us, appreciate that so much, thanks mate

I was waiting for "Mama told me not to Come" late 60's Whirly 3 Dog Night/ Randy Newman classic. Great video!

These are all great. My favorite Wurlitzer song is “Digital Love” by Daft Punk

The perfection of the Wurlie. Excellent playing and vid.

Epic sound. Thanks for pulling it out for a jam. ✌️

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" is a jazz song written by Joe Zawinul in 1966 for Julian "Cannonball" Adderley

I think maybe "not integral" is an inaccurate way to describe what you were trying to say. It's definitely not the main motif, melody, lead, etc. But it is integral because it acts like the punctuation and structural support to the song. Without that call and response harmony section and the way its panned you have a highly repetitive bass line that gets old real quick (like a run on sentence). Also just as a harmony section the keyboard and guitar provide context and support to the key changes and melody. While the song is highly melodic and rhythmic, it still relies on harmony for structure and to remain listenable.

"I cannot play it like Ray Charles", ...plays it just like Ray Charles.
