This song was originally done in 1959 by Dion and The Belmonts. There are a bunch of different versions done by others. From what I can gather it was originally written for Peggy Lee. Anyway give this a listen and let me know what you think. The vocals aren't too good because I've lost my singing voice. Now it's just an old man's voice.  This song was composed by me in BIAB and Real Band only. I didn't use my harmony pedal. I used the TCHelicon for my harmonies. The only thing not used in this song that Real Band and BIAB didn't create was my voice. I did both the lead vocals and harmony. You can click here----> Where or when I'm looking for a sax player who wants to collaborate with me on this song. I've thought about playing a guitar part but I think the sax is the way to go with it.

Have you tried any of the sax solo RealTracks, Russ?
Good to hear from you again.

Hey Bob. You too. I don't know about the sax solos. Guess I'll give it a whirl. Thanks for the idea. BTW, I still have the T-shirt I won from you. Still wear it and it still looks good.

Oops! Did you give the song a listen? If you did you didn't comment. My voice ain't what it used to be Mate.

Russ, when you mentioned Peggy Lee, I thought to myself, is that all there is?  I didn't mind the listen at all actually.

Russ,
Yeah I listened. Nothing wrong with the song. Looks like you figured out how to combine two of your favorite things with the video. That's always fun.
As far as your singing; it's just like any other skill set. If you don't use it regularly it takes some work to get back to where you were. I had that experience recently when I let my bass sit in its case for a couple years.
It took a good hour before we felt like friends again.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't your best singing I've heard. I'm guessing you just haven't been practicing much lately.

You're right Bob. I haven't been doing anything music in the last 4 years. I've been playing with my radio controlled airplanes and drones. Lots of fun but it can get expensive. I've lost 5 planes and one drone at the flying field.  I got a wild hair last week about this song. For some reason it started haunting me. I had to compose and make it mine. This is after the Dion and the Belmonts version. Not exactly the way they did it but the beats still there. On another note ... I tried to use a real instrument sax. Out of all the hundreds of sax's in RB there was only one country melody. The sax originally in this song is laid back and bluesy. RB doesn't come close. All the rest of the sax's are ... you guessed it ... JAZZ!  Man! I wish these real instruments could follow a midi track that I create.

The vocals on this one sound better to me, alth', not real together. This is a total redo on the vocals. Where or when

This sounds really good Russ. I liked the oohs and aahs in the background. The harmonies were pretty good also.

Thanks Mario. I appreciate that. But I'm going to do some more wizardry on it. The vocals aren't real tight and I want it perfect. Your feedback is very helpful. It shows I still have my stuff. Just gotta pick up on some things I've forgotten. Question. Is there a place on PGMusic where I can post my cover music? I see a place for originals but nowhere for cover songs. I like to produce 'em my way.

You can't post on the PGMusic site directly; however, you can post it on YouTube (your "movie" can be the text of the song title), then post the link on the YouTube Forum page. however, YouTube may or may not flag it for copyright issues.
Youtube has software that automatically identifies copyrighted music. The software seems to be pretty good, but it isn't perfect. When it detects copyrighted music, whether a cover version or the original recording, it sends out an automatic message telling you that you may have violated someone's copyright -- and it gives you a chance to protest.
Now, assuming that you don't respond, or you do respond, but they determine that you have violated copyright, they give the option to the copyright holder of what they want to do: 1) remove the video 2) remove the audio track from the video 3) place ads on the video to make money 3) do nothing.
Some copyright holders automatically have everything removed. Some don't seem to do anything. And some places ads within minutes of your posting the offending video.
Remember, the people who make the decision are not necessarily the actual copyright holder, but rather some company that handles these issues.
Just be aware that you may get such a notice; although it seems that most publishers go with the "ad" on your video solution rather than a cease and desist (I say only based on the preponderance of cover versions available for which I'm pretty folks didn't purchase the actual license to post it).
You takes yer chances...
But, it's a definite no-no to post a cover version on the User Showcase Forum.

Thanks Trax. Great to see you're still hovering around here. To the others here, I've posted this on facebook and have led the link here. I don't know if it's alright with Pgmusic or not. If it's not here on this forum physically then I guess no one cares if I post it. If so then that's great.
Thanks again guys,

Trax, what do you mean by chorus? I'm confused here.

I think Trax means like a 'doubling' of the lead vocals. (correct me if I'm wrong Trax)
A Chorus effect can do this, or recording it again on another track .. or .. lots of ways to do it.
A compression/reverb combination may be another option.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

If this is correct waves has doubling VST, see here: http://www.waves.com/plugins/doublerThis effect takes your vocal and doubles, triples or quadruples it, your choice. You can spread and detune each vocal a few cents to give that chorus effect. I use this one quite a bit.

Use the Ol PG Plug In - Chorus in Biab/RB as a DXI effect. It adds a lil "color" or fatness to the lead vox.
Lead vox sounded a lil dry to my ears :P

Chours would be a great choice because the chours effec is made up of a delay set to different of amount of time that is modulated to create the sound of a real chours, a bunch of instruments or vocals being preformed at the smae time. However, you could also take a vocal track and use a pitch shifter to give the illusion of background singers or extra voclas tracks.

Trax Be careful about how much you use. If you use a lot of chours you voclas will end up sound like a chessy Science fiction movie.
