Vertigo/Relight My Fire, if classed as one track, has got to be the best example of this IMO.
I think the classics are...
Isaac Hayes/ Shaft
Marvin Gaye/ dont mess with miss t
Timmy Thomas/ Why Cant We Live Together
Odyssey/ Native New Yorker
Marylin McCoo & Billy Davis Jr/ Shine On Silver Moon
Al Hudson/ Spread Love
MFSB/ TSOP
Andrea True/ Call Me
Barry White/ Your Love So Good I Can Taste It
The Supremes/ High Energy

I was recently blown away by a beautiful 10 minute promo version of "The Player" by First Choice, with a long smooth instrumental intro. This was apparently an original extended version that was never out commercially, like those longer-than-before Salsoul titles that surfaced a few years ago on cds.
There's also a more expanded version from the 6-minutes-&-something-mix of Gwen McCrae's "Keep the Fire Burning".
I've heard it once at an online station. On the the regular 12" you hear her voice right from the beginning,
but in that particular mix she started to rap after a few minutes of instrumentation.
Give Me A Break - Vivian Vee
(The Best Part Of) Breakin' Up - Roni Griffith
Hot Shot - Karen Young
Love Train - The O'Jays (a little "iffy", as they jump in with the chorus and then go back to the instumental intro.)
Vertigo was the song I used to compete to get on Dance Fever. Made it to the South Florida Finals, but not the show.
Not to worry. Nobody puts Baby in a corner.
Since it's morning when I'm posting this, these morning music songs with long instrumental intros seem appropriate....
Loving You Losing You - Phyllis Hyman
La Vie En Rose - Grace Jones
American Love - Rose Laurens
Dancin' helps relieve the pain, soothes your mind, makes you happy again
The 12" version of T-Connection's "At Midnight" with that drum intro. Nice.

"Cherchez La Femme" by Dr Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. I love this intro!
DANCE!!-To the BOOGIE WONDERLAND........
. . .and don't forget the ABSOLUTELY elegant intro/buildup to Voyage's "Souvenirs" . . . always gets my toes a tappin' (but NOT like Sen. Larry Craig's :icon_lol:).
A bunch of tracks that were classic here to build up the place were
RICHIE HAVENS Going back to my roots (#1 build up track in my memory)
JOHNNY HARRIS Odyssey
MARLENA SHAW Touch me in the morning
LOVE DON'T HURT PEOPLE, PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE
Buenos Aires - Festival
Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet - Gonzalez
In The Forest - Baby O
Cafe - D. D. Sound
You Can Get Over - Stephanie Mills
Menergy - Patrick Cowley
You'll have to fast forward past the Sarah Silverman rant:
Disco Funk
Great topics!
Since Dan Hartman's RMF was mentionned, here's another memorable intro:
the 12" version of Ronnie Jones - Soul sister (1976) that goes instrumental half way through the song (about 3:50)
If you buy this record your life, will be better.
Playing For Time - Madleen Kane
I'm Free - Celi Bee
