Search the works of Richard Rogers, Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern. Practically all their songs begin with Major 7th chords.

"Maria" starts with "The most beautiful sound I ever heard..." and the first pitch change in the melody is an ascending half-step.

I wouldn't be surprised if Schoenberg has one of these somewhere in his twelve tone stuff (or if one of his serialist apprentices does). I'm not familliar enough with any of it to know though.

So there you go, I just wrote a song that starts with one! And I have to admit, it reminds me of something else too, buggered if I can remember what though.

Although it's the first two notes of the chorus rather than of the whole song, so it's still not quite the right answer.

richard carpenter once said:"I love major sevenths", and so do we!

That said, a melody jumping from 1 to maj7 is pretty bold. I've tried this myself, and it's hard to fuck up; the interval is so large, and since you don't actually end up jumping an octave, it's also very dramatic. I wish I could make amends w/the chord.
