One of the few purely-instrumental pop recordings ever to make the charts; Mason Williams’ “Classical Gas” and The Village Stompers’ “Washington Square” come to mind as well.
“Scorpio” by Dennis Coffey.
How about “ Coffee Cold” by Galt MacDermott?
One of several good instrumentals which got airplay after “The Thomas Crown Affair” came out.
Walk, Don't Run - The Ventures
Hawaii Five-O Theme - The Ventures
Soulful Strut - Young-Holt Unlimited
Green Onions - Booker T and the MG's
Pipeline - Chantays
Theme From a Summer Place - Percy Faith
Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet - Henry Mancini
Numerous tunes by Herb Alpert and the TJ Brass
And that's just from the '60's.
