We are often told that public speaking is most people’s greatest fear - then how so much more to sing before others? But personally speaking, there is also something so very uplifting and soul-exposing to hear a person singing - both for the singer and the listener. I am not sure if this is the right word, but almost feels ‘sacred’.

My wife has a voice recording on her phone of her late mother leaving a message - just a routine everyday message - and I know she will listen to her Mum’s voice from time to time. My hope and joy would be that my family and friends would listen to my songs once I have moved on and it would give them another reminder and aspect of who I was and what I found so much enjoyment in.
Rob- thank you for sharing your singing with us through this song. It was a pleasure to listen!

What a wonderful, eloquently put comment! I always sing whether I use Suno or not, because Suno has to copy my vocal. If I like my vocal, I use it. But usually, I don't like my vocal. With Body and Soul, I just got lucky and the result was not too bad. So I posted it. I do put a fair amount of effort into the vocal. I want a good result. But nobody hears my bad results. If they did, I think they'd agree that Suno is the better option. Most of the time, I am an awful singer. So Suno makes me very happy. Because in the end, it's my song that matters most to me. I truly wish I was a better singer, it's something I've always wanted in my life. But it was not to be. Again, if you heard some of my awful vocals, I think you'd agree. The Body and Soul vocal was an exception. That's why I went with it. I'll keep trying to sing well, but the odds are good that Suno will win out. Hope folks understand that. Thanks. NOTE TO EVERYONE: THE SONG HIT NUMBER ONE ON SOUNDCLICK! THANKS TO FORUM SUPPORT!!!
