The Crawford version is basically the same as the Torrance version. Just a few chord alterations. Joe Samples chords are more meatier. Later, Ray

You do know one of the outstanding abilities of BIAB is to transpose, yes? Just key in the chords and then raise a minor third (three half-steps) to go from Am to Cm.

Keep at it and try to find the chords. You will learn a lot more that way. We've given you most of the clues. When you're done, we'll give you some feedback.

hopefully bringing this up again...

The uberchords are gone frown

I couldn't find this YT again, but my version was adapted from a YT-video, where Richard Torrance plays accoustic guitar with a keyboard percussionist.

This is, what I've got from there so far...

The clouds come a creeping...
Am7, D9 (8x),

Ev'ryone knows, I can't..
Dm7, Dm6, Dm#5, Dm6, Am, Am#7, Am7, D9.

You turning my whole..
Dm7, Em7, F7, E7, (RT: F11, E11, I would even prefer F9, E7#9)

upside down
Am, D9, Am, D9,

and I get a...
Bm7/4, E7#9, E7b9, Am, E9, D9, D9/6 D9

Rio de Janeiro
|:Bm7/4, E7#9, E7b9, Am,:|

The notes of the break are adg aea C D E7#9 E7b9 E7#9 E7b9 Am

This makes a lot of this beautiful song possible, but I wonder how the intro and the solo chords are at Randy's version.

Found it again:

What a great tune! I never heard it before but I'm jamming it right now as I'm listening to it. For me I like the first version because it has more piano in it and has a better groove. The third one is certainly good but it just sounds rushed to me.

Hi Bob. I never heard that first version, so thanks. Yes, it's much more relaxed and has a great groove.

I learned the third version from a Joe Sample CD I purchased. He's the keyboardist on that version too.

These are more illegal "Standard YouTube License" video postings that put composers out of business so I am loathe to copy them. I'll try to find and purchase that first track.

EDIT: I found this version as a single on iTunes, and just purchased it. Search for "Joe Sample". The CD is "Feeling Good" from 2007.

It's also on Amazon, but I don't buy music from Amazon because of how they pay the composer. It is not on CD Baby, which does pay fairly.

Good morning all....

QuixX....
That is a peppy version and I enjoyed seeing the way he played it on acoustic.
Thanks for chiming in and the chord work.

jazzmammal....
Yep....always liked that tune.

Matt...
Back atcha'....hope all is well.

I did decide to buy the sheet music (by Richard Torrance & John Haeny) as reference some time ago but haven't putzed with this one in a while.

EDIT: if interested, this is the site I used http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/
Even though I knew the tunes already I also picked up:
Slow Turnin' - John Hiatt
Prime Time - Alan Parsons
Roll With The Changes - REO Speedwagon
Angry Eyes - Loggins & Messina

Back to it....a good day to all.

The Nicollette one is too fast for me but is has some interesting stuff happening on the solo.

Matt, as far as your comment about illegal YT license, all the composer has to do is notify them to take it down or agree to have it monetized using VEVO, correct?

I have to admit all this stuff about how composers get paid really makes my eyes glaze over. Is it really any worse than it used to be 40 years ago? It was damn near impossible for anybody who wasn't already a star to do anything and then read Notes posts about how Barry Gordy at Motown did things. You were totally screwed any way you tried to go.

That's why I'm a tax accountant...

I just finished loading the tune into Biab and playing along on my piano. Sounds pretty good except for all those anticipated chord punches. I've been using the ^ pushes and other tricks but they're still pretty sloppy. I'm sure if I worked on it long enough I could clean that up but I don't care about that for what I'm doing with it right now.

Hmmm....

Something just occurred to me.

If it's of interest to anyone maybe I could scan my sheet music and post on my Google Drive account page for reference viewing only?

I don't tend to think that would be illegal or unethical but don't know for sure.
If any want to educate me on that query....please advise.

If it's cool I'll get that done and interested parties can PM me their preferred email address and I'll forward the link.

Just a thought....carry on.

In my opinion, public posting of a song transcription without permission of the composer or publisher would be a copyright violation. The sheet music you bought should have stated this. It might also be a violation of PG Music's site rules about posting covers.

Got it....
Even though I just wanted to be helpful I thought about it after I posted and thought it not appropriate to do so.

Thanks for confirming my second thoughts on this.

It's just my opinion.

Coindidentally, I have sheet music for sale on Sheet Music Plus. I'm in the process of uploading my originals from two CDs to there.

I was going to attach a .sgu file but I see the forum won't let me.

The issue is all the anticipated chords in this. I know this has been posted about before. Putting the ^ gives the correct timing for the some of it but overall it's messed up. It sounds like poo.

I'm going to PM a few of you to check it out.

Just realized I can't attach it to a PM either. I just emailed it to you Matt and if anyone else wants it just PM me with your email addy.

Now I really have to run, I'll get on this again tomorrow.

Bob, if you put the file in DropBox, copy the file's public link you can post that link. I have done this before with no problems.

I think Bob will first want to revise the file based on a suggested chord spelling we discussed.

The singer on my YT-link also likes the first posted (Randy Crawford) version. It flushed a lot of money in his pocket, because he is the author smile

I just revised it this morning but have to leave for the office now. I'll do the dropbox thing this evening and post it here.

Here is the link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-2xRTv767boZHBnRGJyRndtcGM/view?usp=sharing

I didn't like how the pushes were working so I solo'd each track and discovered the problem is with the Real Drums and the Bongo's loop. I didn't expect the loop to push so I muted the bongos for those bars but I thought the drums would work ok but they don't. All that happens is the bass drum gets a little kick on the up beat but the rest of the kit keeps playing so I muted the drums too.

Also just using the push ^ wasn't enough because the bass had a double hit going on so I made the chords holds as well as pushes. Now the bass and piano timing is right on but the drums need to punch the whole kit not just a little bass drum accent.

This is another instance where to really make it right it needs to go into Real Band where I can cut and paste drum parts to punch up those accented chords.

I think the chord changes sound pretty good though.

I think the chords got sorted for the OP but for me I was wondering what you thought about how I did with the pushes in the file I posted. I would rather the whole band including the drums not just push but accent those parts. I've thought accented and pushed chords has been a weakness in Biab for some time. Please give my file a listen and read what I wrote about about that. Maybe I'm missing something?
