Brown Sugar? Plenty more -- I'm guessing -- must end with a little drum flourish.

George Martin may have something to do with the intros
to those Beatles songs. Can't Buy Me Love is a good example.
He changed it to where it started on the chorus rather than the verse.
It's a great songwriting idea, actually; you need a good intro.
The song Help! wouldn't have worked if it started with the verse.
With that chorus, it pulls you in,
Not only does 'Help!' start with the vocal, but it's b-side ("I'm Down") does as well.

Indeed. And now that I think about it, McCartney does it a lot
(starting with the vocals): Hey Jude, Long and Winding Road, I Will,
Maxwell's Silver Hammer, For No One, Eleanor Rigby, Too Many People,
Heart Of The Country, Uncle Albert, Tug Of War, No More Lonely Nights, etc...

but cc honey, what the original poster is asking about (i think?!) are songs that start with the vocals,
without any instrumental prelude.

you can start your own question, of course, but it is confusing to discuss both at once.

I would say a few candidates for most well known songs in this category would be three of Elvis' most well known hits, all of them from 1956 - Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes and Hound Dog.
Oddly, it wasnt a trait that he used quite as regularly after that.
