What song has the best intro

[Cogswel_Cogs]

Close to 10 years before Johhny B Goode was recorded by Chuck Berry Carl Hogan laid down this amazing opening lick. Possibly why Chuck Berry never sued for all the people that stole his lick.

My vote for best opening
Though read a book debating if parts(including intro) was truly written by Gerswin.
