Okay, I've harped on this before, but...

You've probably heard this guitar sound before. Check out Leon Russell's
original version of This Masquerade. It has a gorgeous instrumental
introduction that is all Chamberlin - this sound plus vibes and strings.
The song also has prominent flutes. The whole album (Carney, from 1972)
is loaded with Chamberlin.
