A note about this list. Most of the recordings on this list prominently feature the Hammond and show off some amazingly gifted musicians like JonLord, KeithEmerson, JimmySmith, etc. But there a fair number of songs here in which the Hammond is a supporting instrument but so vital to the _sound_ of the recording it simply can't be ignored. Artists like Buddy Cole, Leroy Glover and Jimmy Greenspoon have contributed dazzlingly effective sounds from a Hammond that enhance rather than dominate these Hits. Tossed in here are also some recordings by artists definitely not known for playing an organ like Christine ~?McVie, John Paul Jones and Mark Farner.

Q: Can we take it for granted that Jean-Jaques Kravetz played a B-3 in both aforementioned recordings? At least at some live performances for German tv (Take Care of Illusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w79Jpl6WXFE, or How the Gipsy Was Born: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDUQN0Chl-M respectively, and also, with Atlantis, in Days of Giving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_wJ_XcUAyw) he obviously played a (the same?) spinet.
A: Ultimately, unless an artist specifically states the _exact_ model he or she was using on a recording, it's difficult to know what was being played on a recording. While no Hammond sounds _exactly_ like any other Hammond, the console organs (B, C, A-100) differ only in the casework and should sound the same. The speakers and amps used on a recording, of course, can be wildly different (different Leslie models, Hammond cabinets, the A-100's internal speakers, miking styles, etc.) from one recording to the next. If you truly have a gifted ear you might be able to tell the difference between the full tonewheel/foldback set of the console organs from the missing tonewheels and foldback of the spinets (M, L, etc.). The latest clones are very, very good. So good, in fact, that a couple of the later Hammond Hits listed above _might_ actually be recorded on a clonewheel. In his early years in Spock's Beard, Ryo Okumoto clearly is playing a Hammond but the Hit I added above a few years ago sounds like it _might_ be a clone...
