Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In the heart of Detroit, in a small workshop room,
Laurens Hammond dreamed of a new sonic revolution,
With keys and tonewheels, he forged a new sound,
The Hammond organ, with its glory told through sound.
(Pre-Chorus)
With its warm tones and its soulful vibe,
The Hammond organ, it came alive.
In the world of music, it found its place,
With every note, it left a trace.
(Chorus)
The Hammond organ and the Leslie speaker, a real match made in heaven,
With their swirlin' tones, came a sound that's sonic heaven.
From the gospel halls to rock 'n' roll stages everywhere,
The Hammond had its place, right in the sound of the song.
(Verse 2)
And then came Don Leslie, with his innovative mind,
He crafted a speaker that had never been heard before.
With rotating horns, and steller sound in a big wooden cabinet,
The Leslie speaker had left an impact on the sound of this magnificent organ.
(Pre-Chorus)
With its spinnin' magic, and its heavenly sound,
The Leslie speaker, it changed the world.
In the realm of sound, it found its place,
With every spin, it left a trace on that organ's sound.
(Chorus)
The Hammond organ and the Leslie speaker, a match made in sonic heaven,
With a powerful sound, they made their mark.
From jazz clubs to recording studios everywhere,
The Hammond and the Leslie, they go hand in hand, forever intertwined.
(Bridge)
Through the decades, they've stood the test of father time,
The Hammond and the Leslie, a sound oh sublime.
In the heart of music, their legacy thrives forever,
With every chord heard, they touch our lives everyday.
(Outro)
So let's hear the wonderful sound that roars through the airwaves, that B3 and that one fourty seven Leslie, they'll keep you on your toes.
With every chord heard, they touch our lives everyday.
(Outro)
So let's hear the wonderful sound that roars through the airwaves, that B3 and that one fourty seven Leslie, they'll keep you on your toes.
