Don't Need A Man To Make Me Feel Like A Woman Leon sent me a song idea with Janice in mind. It was an interesting lyric! – just had to fit lines such as: Like a fish needs a velocipede Had to look that one up on Wikipedia. Fortunately for us Janice kindly agreed to sing – Leon obviously channeled his feminine side whilst writing this but I’m not sure it would have sounded right with him singing. Lyrics – Leon Vocals -the incomparable Janice Merritt I played the guitar and put it all together Thanks to Bud for recording Janice, feedback on the mix and encouragement. The Band:RealTracks in song: 2610:Bass, Electric, SoulFunkSwingAlex Sw 120 RealTracks in style: 2437:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansShuffleKevin Sw 130 RealTracks in style: 2436:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm NewOrleansShuffle Sw 130 RealTracks in song: ~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 RealDrums in style: NewOrleansShuffle^04-a:Kick Shuffle , b:Ride, Shuffle Horns – some old horn samples I had lying around
Don’t need a man to make me feel like a womanYou think that ladies love outlaws But honey let me set you straight What gets my temperature rising Listen up, and I will relate I need a man I can talk to Who understands what I need Not a stud with only one talent I got to care for and feed I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be true
I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be trueI’m looking for a man who’s not afraid To reveal his softer side A man who knows just when to push And when to let it slide I need a man who’s not a stranger To poetry and art Who’s gentle, kind and sensitive But with a lion’s heart I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be true
I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be trueYou think that ladies love outlaws Oh, but that’s been overstated A lady wants a man to make her life Easier, not more complicated Some say a woman needs a man Like a fish needs a velocipede And while I don’t agree There are certain qualities I need You’ve got to treat me like an equal in every way Pick up on the subtle signs I send Pay close attention to every word I say Be my demon lover as well as my best friend I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be true
I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be true

Janice, Peter and Leon, This is very entertaining! from start to finish. The writing is strong, the melody is top notch, the arrangement is as creative as they come, the mix is excellent and Janice's vocals raise the proverbial roof (Janice, you've absolutely nailed singing the lyrics!). I don't know what to say! For that reason, I'm leaving it up to you. Please choose whichever one or more of the below appeal to you  - first class
- stunning
- totally enjoyable
- professional through and through
- clever
- skillful
- music at its best
- absolute quality
All the best, Noel P.S. I'm in awe of anyone who can use 'velocipede' in lyrics and then set it to music!

Love the groove on this, a fun track! Guitar work is right on the money, as is the vocal (no surprise there!)
Nice one!

Nice work on this.
The groove fits Janice to the tee.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

This song shines. A good fit for Janice's outstanding vocal. The addition of the horns really worked well to me.
Enjoyable all around.

This rocks right from the off!
Nice guitar and the vocals handled so well, very tuneful and foot tapping.
Great solo and nice Brass.

Leon/Peter/Janice
A terrific listen. (I did have to look up "velocipede").
Everything is right where it needs to be. As I listened, I simply... Listened!
The horns work!
The vocal - golden.
Nice.

This is just so much fun to listen to. someday if I ever get good enough, I'm gong to write a song with the lyrics that match your voice.

Horn section beautiful

Totally loved this! great beat and arrangement. And, of course, Janice's vocal is top notched. Great sound on the guitar and the horns are a great touch in the last half of the song. Great job in every way!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
