    I'm on a jag about this song and I wanted to hear it sung by a man so I've been listening to all covers of it on the list and yours is the only one I could find. I thank you for singing it and letting me hear it. I really liked it and now I'd sure like to hear it with the backgrounds and all instrumentation.

      I wish I had recorded my band playing it. We enjoyed performing it, but only played it together 2 or 3 times before, unfortunately, some band members developed health conditions rendering them unable to perform anymore. It's a reality of experienced, but aging musicians. Hopefully some younger guys take the baton and run with it.

      Thanks for listening. I think Barbara Lewis sings this in the key of C, but I had to lower it a step (age has caught up with my vocal range). If you want to play it in C, just transpose it up a step. Chords would basically be a mix of Cmaj7, Dm7, Em7, and G7, instead of those in the tutorial. You can throw in the major and minor 9ths when necessary.

    oh interesting you changed it to Bb since the original is in key of C but it sounds spot on I didn't even notice at first haha like I said before, keep up the good work! A good singer knows their range and where they sound good and I can tell you adjusted it for a reason nice!!

    • @ldmmusic58
      @ldmmusic58  3 роки тому +2

      Yes, I had to change the key. When I was under 50 years old I could have sung it in C. Not any more. We lose range with age. I’ve learned to pay attention to my limitations. BTW, it’s nice to have musicians comment. Thanks.

    I like the song. You did a good job. I will be buying a new piano. I've never had one. Since I was 5 or 6 I loved the piano. My aunt had one and could play. What pianos are you using?

    • @ldmmusic58
      @ldmmusic58  5 років тому

      Thanks for the compliment. The keyboard on the bottom is the Yamaha YPG-235. It has 73 semi-weighted keys, is light weight, portable, and is reasonably priced. The Yamaha on the top is only 61 keys, and I typically use it for adding brass, strings, or guitar parts when playing at gigs. I used it in this video only for the volume pedal to accentuate the organ riff; otherwise I only needed the bottom keyboard. 61 keys aren't enough to play many songs using both hands. I've used a variety of makes and models of keyboards and have come to appreciate Yamaha's quality. If you buy a full 88 key piano, the weight and the price go up quite a bit.

    • @ldmmusic58
      @ldmmusic58  7 років тому

      I'm playing this in the key of Bb. There are versions in B and in C on the internet that you would just transpose up a half or full step. I just tried to paste my chord & lyric sheet above...just click SHOW MORE. It doesn't format the same, but it should help. The chords are basically Bbmaj7 Cm7 Dm7 Cm7 back to Bbmaj7. Often I throw in a Bbmaj9 and Dm9 to add some variety.

    • @ldmmusic58
      @ldmmusic58  7 років тому

      Glad it helped. I tend to improvise a little each time I play something, so they're usually not identical each time I play them. I figure most songs by ear, and make lyric and chord sheets (with notes) that I use as a guide.
