I'm such a sucker for old soul so when I heard this song on the radio I couldn't help but create a cover of it. I used a MIDI file of the song for the song and found the Texas Blues Style 12/8 in Band in a Box to create the rhythm tracks. Of course as usual all vocals are mine and the tracks are exported/imported into Sonar for vocal recording and mixing and mastering. The video attached is a short version of me singing the song on camera but there is also a full version of the song on my You Tube channel. One thing I like about BIAB is that I can recreate covers of songs I love pretty quickly changing keys so I can sing them or just adding a new dimension to the tracks. Hope you enjoy this cover.

Nice one!


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Sounds radio ready (and streaming, cd, cassette, vinyl, live stage) to me... Nothing like the music from back in the day.

Enjoyed this.

Thanks Charlie but this one will stay in the can. It was just a fun experiment of a song I just wanted to sing :-)

Brilliant, Henry.

What a fantastic delivery. Reminds me of Billy Paul (Me and Mrs Jones).

You make it all look so effortless, but we all know that's not the case. Great!

Very well done Henry!
You have a great voice.
Did you also sing the backing vocals, or are they BIAB?

Thanks for the kind comments. I sing my own background vocals. I have to. BIAB background vocals usually do not work for me because they are just oohs and aahs. A lot of my background vocals are phrases. Just for fun you can check out this video of my new release. You'll hear more background vocal "phrases" which is not possible in BIAB. https://youtu.be/twFxTQ_FTdc

Another brilliant performance, Henry. You really captured the moment by associating it with fantastic vision.
Icing on the cake.

Yes, here you can hear that's you singing the backing vocals. Cool song BTW.
We also sing our own backing vocals, but we're 2, so that's easier smile
