I tried to sing it straight in verse one and two but I got possessed by Ray Charles in Verse Three and I don't know what happened.

It is probably Alan David's fault.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Great job on this David! Definitely a unique take on a classic - and the spirit of Ray Charles is definitely prominent!

Thanks so much for sharing smile

Thanks Peter, listened to the mix in the car and it was horrible. The strings were way too high. If you get a chance check out mix 2. Up now. Think this is right.

Thanks again!

Happy Holidays!

Hey David!

It's always my fault. If you think otherwise ... ask Di!

Been off the site for a few days ... got the flu and still feeling horrible. But, I felt a need to leave a few comments. And what's wrong with Ray Charles??????

You are one of the most creative and enjoyable people on the site. I like your unabashed, I'm gonna do it my way approach to music. Your creativity is an inspiration to just experiment and find your own take and style - then go with it. Cool!

Merry Christmas

Alan & Di

Actually, it's all RHARV's fault.

David,
I like the way you approached this vocal - kind of raw and vulnerable. A cool non-choral take on a classic that`s often done up so pretty we forget to listen to the words.
