Noel & Janice,
Wonderful sound!
Very nice vocals and harmonies!
Wonderful lyrics match any genre song.
The blues of Janis are always wonderful, but these jazz-like songs are also very good.
Certainly, Doris Day.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Noel & Janice & Bud
Lovely collaboration. Everything comes together beautifully on this, a lovely mix and choice of band, top quality songwriting and some stunning vocals (lived the harmony parts) and melody.
A totally professional piece.
Really excellent.

Well done to all of you. Those harmonies are wonderful, Thanks Joanne. I’m glad you like the harmony. Noel arranged them! Janice

Noel & Janice,
It just doesn't get much better than this, if it does at all. You have to know how much I love this style and gosh, Janice just makes electric. And Noel's lyric is so smooth and creative. This was real treat!
This sets the bar on this style. Not sure I'll ever get close to it - but I'll keep trying. best to you.
Alan Al, I had hoped you would like this. Bud and I enjoy your productions of this era. Thank you! Janice

Alan Hi Alan! My goodness! Thank you for all the kind words. And I totally agree, it's true that "Janice just makes it electric". When I first heard Janice's vocal track, her presentation blew me away. Also... just for the record... I regard you as the master of this song style. You are an arranger 'par excellence'. I would love to have heard your big band and your arrangements for it. I bet you were a hit far and wide! Best wishes to both you and Di, Noel

Yeah! I think this is my favorite version of the ones I've heard.
Love the arrangement! Very cool vibe happening. And of course Janice always sounds great, both the lead vocal and the harmonies.
Well done you two!

Hi Dave, Thank you for finding the time to have a listen and to comment. Appreciate it. All the best, Noel What a wonderful exercise this has been in the forum! Yet another excellent treatment of Noel’s lovely lyrics. I thoroughly enjoyed listening, the vocal was excellent as always and completely captured the mood of the time...great collaboration! Hi Tano, Thanks for dropping in. Appreciate the comments. In all honesty, I've found listening to what others have done to my lyrics totally fascinating. When I wrote the words originally, I had a specific sound and style in mind. In that regard, I was a prisoner of my own imagination (or lack thereof). Then, when others joined in and used the lyrics how they heard them, I couldn't believe that there were so many different possibilities that worked so well. I've also found it a "wonderful exercise". All the best, Noel

Wow Noel, what a great treatment of this song! I really love that jazz swing feel this has and that saxophone solo was just great! The vocal Janice provides here is perfect as well as all of the production and everything else going on! Thanks, Torrey

A great piece. The backing is as smooth and cool as the vocals. And the little sax solos bring just enough heat...kind of like Indian summer. Really enjoyed this. Hi Tangmo, I'm glad you got a chance to have. Thank you for comments. Really appreciated. All the best, Noel

Noel & Janice,
This is a true delight.
It is amazing how many styles this lyric has been able to sit comfortably in.
A gorgeous production. So good you get lost in the vocal - and the background is "just...right!". Excellent mix.
An absolutely GORGEOUS vocal. Killer harmonies.
Out of the park.
fj Hi floyd, Appreciate the visit. Like you, I'm a bit surprised at how comfortably these lyrics supported the different styles too. I wasn't expecting that at all. While I modified the lyrics slightly, in a couple of places, to fit this particular version better, 90-95% of the original lyric content is still unchanged. Thanks for the comments on the production. I spent a bit of time trying to get this mix as good I could. I wanted Janice to have the best accompaniment I could assemble! It's always good to see you! Noel

Lovely relaxed vibe and great vocal plus I like the vocal harmonies in the chorus. The saxophone interjections are great too and overall was wonderfully retro. Hi funkycornwall, Thank you. I appreciate that you managed to have a listen to Soundcloud. I also appreciate the comments. All the best, Noel

Floyd summed it up:
"An absolutely GORGEOUS vocal. Killer harmonies."
This is terrific- you guys really felt that style and it suits the lyric to a T.I hope you do more jazzy songs in future.
When do we vote on all the great entries for this forum challenge?
Robert
Hi Robert, It's always good to see you. Appreciate the visit and the comments. How can we possibly vote on the best? I'm just grateful that some people managed to fit my words to music. The lyric flow didn't make it an easy task and I think everyone did a superb job! All the best, Noel

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
