It's a song in 2 parts: 1 part Disco Funk with vocals and brass. 2nd part Pop Fusion ballad with a real vocal track, guitar solo. Lots of sounds coming from synthmaster 1 and 2. Lyrics in English: The Baron of Funk With her gloved hands and her golden necklaces No one can ignore him because he is at the top The Baron of Funk Drives in a Cadillac He's successful, he's at every party No Rap or Rock Even less Pop Don't talk about Punk, there's only Funk The Baron of Funk It's a Hit machine He shouts I feel good His riffs are powder

Laurent, this is a fun song! Love all the sonic activity that kept the arrangement moving along, especially the clav in the 1st half. What was the guitar solo in the 2nd half? Don't see one credited, but thought that worked very well. Enjoyed the listen!

Thank you DC Ton for your comments. The guitar solo of the 2nd part I did.it. Laurent
Laurent, Super groove! Great instrumentation. Nice dynamics and groove change - brilliant. The only thing that I found not up to stuff was the vocal. IMHO that was effects overkill on the vocal such that it was extremely hard to understand the lyrics. Note that is just my opinion and others may or may not agree. YMMV
OK, a random thought; Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
What a really cool song! You used Synthmaster very effectively. And the transition from driving funk to powerful ballad was excellently handled. Everything about this isd terrific! I enjoyed it very much!

Thanks Mario for the comments. For the singing I am not satisfied but I tried to do the best. My voice is dubbed with a vocoder and echo which distorts understanding. Laurent
Very creative indeed. A funkier than funk part A and a smoother than smooth ballad part B. Well done.

Thank you Alan for the comments which mean a lot to me. Laurent
Really excellent use of BiaB and a very different and cool arrangement.
As others have mentioned to groove change was very engaging.
Kudos! Well done.

Thank you very much Bass Thumper for the comments and I will thank all the musicians and singers who made the realtracks in Band in a box because it is always a great pleasure to be able to use this wealth. Laurent
Ah, there was once a Godfather of Soul and now enter The Baron du Funk. Crazy good feel. Man, you pack this with a lot of music. How crazy was it to mix? Came out crazy good, but the singers are not my favorite part until the baroness started around 2:50. I also like the change there. Laurent, some serious guitar in there. Now THAT's my favorite part. I see everyone else is awed by that second solo, too. Outstanding stuff.
Enjoy whatever happens! marty
