Can anyone ID this mid-70's Deodata tune/riff?

So this has been bugging me for decades maybe some here can help. Here's this Deodata riff in Dm we used to jam to for hours on college, but I can't remember the actual song name! Hoping the riff rings a bell for someone.

No wonder I couldn't find it under Deodata!

Thanks!!

Leaves me wondering what the actual Deodata tune was, I know there was one,

 

[FunkHead]

Kinda sad I guess but I can play that entire album note for note.

Sad? I'd be freakin' proud! Helluva album!

Thanks again, this has bugged me for over 20 years!

Now I just have to listen to the entire early Deodata catalogue to find out what the other "lost tune" is I'm not remembering!

I'd be interested to hear it if you find it.

Me too, hah, I really thought this was it, but Golden Earring actually rang a bell for this as soon as I read it, and sure enough, the whole 2nd half is the riff. But I don't have any recollection of what the other riff sounded like. Maybe I'll uncover it some day. Memory's a strange thing, especially over 60, especially now that it's legal here.

ahh, I'm sure it's the Deodato 2 album, the cover with the eye and the magnifying glass strikes a memory. Definitely not the tune "Skyscrapers", featuring Stanley Clarke on bass ('cause I was never good enough to play that! But it left a mark on my brain for sure, especially with the acid guitar solo.) Sampling through the rest of the tunes maybe I'll find something else familiar.

Yeah, the other jam tune I wasn't remembering must be this one, but again, I never was able to play it that fast, but neither could anyone else, we were about even. Remembering the old chord progression.

don't think we did the bridge, just the verse

I remember thinking of this album cover when Antonio Banderas was becoming a well-known actor.

Super Strut was at a lot of jams back in the 70's.

I had a hunch that you were misspelling Deodato!

The Golden Earring tune outtro made a great 70's jam too, though I'd forgotten completely that there was a whole song to go with it.

Time for a little Sentimental Hygeine hehe
