What caught my eye was a couple of comments:

"Instrumental hits appear to be a thing of the past. "Classical Gas," "Wipe-Out," "Walk Don't Run," "Green Onions," "Frankenstein," "Outa-space." Disco had a few, like TSOP and Love's Theme.
"I suspect that some corporate suit has decreed that there shall be no more."

"Another 70s instrumental I liked is "Space Race" by Billy Preston." ________________________________________________________
I always love it when I FINALLY learn the titles of familiar musical pieces! There were four that I only recognized once I listened to them - but I already knew the Ventures' instrumentals by name. ("Yakety Sax" also got mentioned - I didn't know that
But I don't think I ever heard those two "Space" instrumentals. (I checked them out on YouTube.)
Interestingly, "Love's Theme," from 1973 (and I recognized it when I heard it), sounds remarkably like "Dance With Me" by Orleans - released the same year!
But who knows which came first.
