Come to think of it, this could also fit the bill in the BB "challenge" (think *SMiLE*):

At least the I-I-I-ii-#ii-III seems to be all over music (not sure about the previous figure, repeated in octaves).

I don't know what you mean by I-I-I-ii-#ii-III but yes. It's what you hear at 1:43 in this mix by our old friend:

Just meant the notes in the figure, root (repeated), second, sharp second, major third.* I recognized it from Smile, just wondered if this 12th Street Rag was the first time it was used or if it was a standard little figure. I know I've heard it a million times over the years, it seems.

*I shouldn't have tried to assign the values within a key since I didnt' even compare the figure to the song's key! But Bb (repeated), C, C#, D.

jk: As a comment on Sheriff's most recent "RR&R" post, Joe's first 45 in the UK was "Marjorine": www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2vRA3yhGbE. It was part of my piano repertoire for a while. I recall Joe was an inveterate air guitarist! Sept 14, 2024 10:52:42 GMT *

Kapitan: The next No. 1 from the Hot 100, well, we're skipping that, having already covered it back in the 1960 chart-toppers. But ironically, the song that knocked it off the top spot in 1962 was also inspired by and capitalizing on it. Sept 18, 2024 19:47:47 GMT

jk: I'll give the album covers thread another day or two to develop, otherwise out it goes. It seemed like a good idea at the time! Sept 22, 2024 9:20:37 GMT *
