Thought I'd have a little video fun with this song that I actually wrote a year ago. I scratched the earlier version and sung the lead and background vocals over. I do think a "Heavier" lead vocal would have brought it out a bit more but we go with what we have :-) Anyway it's on my latest EP release "Reminisce" on all major platforms and Pandora. Sorry guys, I don't do Soundcloud. It was also a song that I demonstrated on my PG-Music Testimonial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_C1Y2oiRC4 from last year. The song has picked up a little steam (nothing like my song "Take Your Time") but still garnering a few plays. https://youtu.be/GpaC4a0BrQAStyle: _SOL60S2.STY 60s Soul, No Tamborine Instruments: Bass - 1569 Elec Bass Piano - 1578 Piano, Acoustic Drums - RealsDrums=Soul60 Guitar 1 - 1572 Guitar, Electric Rhythm Soul 60s High Guitar 2 - 1573 Guitar Electric, Rhythm Soul 60s Crisp Guitar 3 - 2818 Guitar, Electric Rhythm GospelSoul8thsBrent Organ - 686 B3, Background Pop Strings - 2952 Strings, Rhythm Jazz Ballad SAX - 587 Sax, Tenor, 2 Beat Rock All Vocals Lead and Background - ME Michrophone Shure PG-42 Focusrite USB Interface Sonar X3 Producer Numerous Vocal Chains and effects Plug-ins PC: Dell XPS w/24 GB Ram Video Editing Software - Movavi Video Editor Plus

Hi Henry,
Wow - that's another hit for sure!
Everything - vocals and backing instruments are spot on.
I particularly liked your BV's in the Choruses.
Just one thing - I would love to hear the Sax in the intro and solo a bit louder.
Another great song - well done.
Best Regards
Nigel

Hello Henry,
I'm very positively surprised by this 'radio ready' song you made!
I don't see why you wanted 'heavier' lead vocals. Yours are very good for this kind of songs.
I agree with Nigel (post above mine) about your song, including the part of the sax.
If you put up the volume a bit more on it, you certainly have a very catchy song at hands!
At the beginning of this song I realized I heard one more song from you. Also a great performance of you!
And the video was done very good. I wish I could make them too...
Looking forward to hear more from you!
Hans

Hey, hey. I remember this song being in one of your earlier videos before it was officially 'released' and I really liked it and you and I had a bit of discussion about it. Great song and it's one of my favorites of your songs. It was fun to hear it again and the production and video are top notch.
I enjoyed my listen a lot.

Hi Henry,
I apprecied your composition as well as the video. It is well done. The mix is well done and the vocals are pleasant. I play the discreet sax brings a plus.

Nice one, Henry. It has a great "Motown" feel to it.
