You've got a great ear Steven, he'd sound killer on all the above (wonder if he'd consider "all the above" a choice

"You are Everything" or "Make me feel Brand New". Stylistics. (I'm wondering about the Spinners too :D Specifically "Living A Little Laughing A Little ".) Very nice song ! |

Cat's eye.. How about these as well :whistle: Love TKO- Teddy P. You are My Lady- Freddie Jackson (I've backed vocalists in the R&B genre since and before these songs came out. Either band setting, or keyboards.. This is one area of my experience, I've been with some very good R&B bands) and I really really miss it ! I LOVE THIS stuff ! If anybody wants private in depth critique on R&B, and can handle true honesty. In THIS genre, It would be my pleasure to take the time to listen all the times it takes, and offer an educated opinion I might have. BUT just opinion  I have to admit, FEMALE vocals for me, although I've worked with many in R&B are MUCH tougher for my ear to Critique than male vocals.. I don't know why... IN fact I'm thinking about this now for the first time... I think perhaps because female timbre and style has taken SO many turns over the course of the decades in the R&B genre.
Anyway, I enjoyed Crooners rendition of "LALA means" more than Thom Bell (Delfonics) because although appropriate for the time, Bell had a bit too much raunch in his voice for my tastes... I like Crooners smoother rendition. He didn't even change keys on it... He was able to hammer it out in the original key |

Hey Crooner, If you ever need a fill-in bassist for you band lemme know. Guitar and Keyboard would take me awhile to brush up on... I was weaned on these songs ! I can hop the Bridgeport ferry, and come across the Sound. (Well, perhaps I'd be safer swimming across from New Haven LOL ) |

Cat's eye view, I need your help here since I'm drawing a blank.. In "Going round in circles".... He starts the Ohhhhhhhh YEah... Who's timbre did he pretty much nail there ? I can't think of who that closely resembled (by name that is right at this point).. |

To my ears he was almost a dead ringer for the Stylistics front man, Russellllll (hang on while I Google it) Thompkins, that was it! But I also hear a bit of Smokey in his falsetto also |

We have a singer around the joint that probably would be perfect on this...I'll ask him if he's interested. |
