ROGER
1950 - The Harry Lime Theme - Anton Karas

I've done some revising since then but I will point out that the above date is incorrect

"The Harry Lime Theme" (in USA "The Third Man Theme") was already out here in UK in 1949

Many thanks for your wonderful on topic post, Steve.

I listened to and enjoyed the whole 4:31.
Unfortunately, it's not good enough to strongly recognize many
of the brief samples. The challenge is to recall each song title.

Well of course the answers are on Marc's site. And I think most people
still around here know that, because most were here when I was doing
those quizzes (2004).

Did you even try to recognize them before you saw the answers ?

To do well, you do have to know your music, and remember, there was
nothing like Shazam back then to identify music, but even if there was,
most the clips are too short to make that a possibility anyway.

And if I do say so myself, Rick's 89% is damn good.

R 1963 - El Watusi - Ray Barretto

Don't see how this can be considered an instrumental. I believe Rhino included it on its Best Rock instrumental CDs, but I disagree with them if so. Good record, though.

El Watusi - Ray Barretto
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uZx9KnlTyg

I agree with you in both respects

I had it high on my instrumental favorites lists for years but decided to take it off for the sheer amount of vocalese.Now vocal on these numbers are limited to just the odd title chant(as per "Tequila" for example)

Sorry, it's on your page as the flip side to your listed "Tequila".

I'm surprised you, being you, did not have this side in your top 100:
1962 - Jimmy McGriff - I�ve Got A Woman (Part 1) [Sue 770] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7UGIrXEafU

I'm creating my own list of favorite instrumentals for 1950-1970,
I've got about 220 so far. Your list is one of the references I've
used - thanks Dean.

It's not in my Top 100 either. I never really warmed to it that much

BTW it was never released here in 1962 when it was popular in US.

It was 1964 before it appeared here
