Hey guys...on an evening in September 2000, Single Heart which consisted of myself, Bob Huston and Gene Simmons met to record a song we had done in concert dozens of times...well you've been there...we could not get it right and spent way too much time trying...what you are about to hear is our final attempt...the mics were open and the recorder running...the vocals are 23 years old but the band is new (thanks to BiaB) and some names have been changed to protect the innocent...so...if you do...thanks for listening...Dan

It's great to hear a resurrection of an old song.
This is a great display of vocal talent and BIAB done good.

Fantastic harmonies!
You did a great job in perfectly blending old vocals with BiaB.
Loved it.

I'm glad you left the giggle in ... it's a great introduction to the song.

Vocals and harmonies are great. Without knowing the original tracks, you did a great job with BIAB and the mix, it sounds organic and natural.
I like it!

What a great opening. The Oak Ridge Boys got nothing on you guys. Wonderfull vocals and you did a masterful job of mixing in Biab. Really good stuff, Tom

Hey there Dan, I don't know how I missed this one for so long - I guess I've been busy. It was a lot of fun. Yes, it took me back to some recordings I did in the past with a group I played with - except our finished product never came out half as good as this. As always, a great song done in a great way. Glad you included that intro I think it added a lot to an already good song.

Well, the fine vocal performances are a perfect match to this BiaB band. Beautiful.

Y’all really do sound like brothers in this and the joy comes through loud and clear.

Enjoyed it!

Dan,

This new backing really makes this sound great! It's nice to hear the interaction between you and your fellow singers! This is top of the line Southern Gospel Music! This should have already been playing on a lot of radio stations (not too late)! The vocals are off the charts good! For a "live" performance it's excellent!

Thanks, T

I pushed play before putting on headphones (wife is still sleeping and I had to set them up) so after reading BD's comment I know I'd be playing this one more than once --I usually DO listen to your songs more than once. Excellent choices for the band. I used to give credits to the BiaB players until I learned they prefer we didn't. At first I thought it was contract issues, but after thinking about it, realized it was more likely they would all know that if they sat in on the session their contribution would be so much better. Many thanks to BiaB for relieving us of that expense.

Giggling --yeah what a terrific opening, especially the comment after singing it over 400 times someone says, "I don't like it no more either." Challenge: let's see if I don't like it after playing it 400 times. I'll get back to you on that, Dan.

Hey Marty...how many listens are you on?...Be careful...after two or three hundred you're mind could explode and it's institutions from there on out!
