For yesterday's sensibilities

Unfortunately, in this age of too short attention spans, it's unlikely that any commercial record label would allow an artist to take as long as Gerry Rafferty did getting to the first verse on "Get It Right Next Time."  That's a shame because the slow build from the keyboard and saxophone creates suspense, making the vocals all the more captivating when they finally come in.  Record label executives wouldn't likely tolerate that in a hit single today, alas.
