Peter Auty - "Walking In The Air" (from the The Snowman - a 1982 British animated television film based on Raymond Briggs' 1978 picture book, "The Snowman")
Appreciate that, but let me get this one in and then.... "Gee Whiz, It's Christmas" - Memphis Ukulele Band Oh, and the singer.....Hands off! I got dibs!
"It's Christmas" - Wendy Moten I posted this because, apparently, she did well on The Voice recently- I don't know; I don't watch it. We had a chance to see/hear her at a benefit 2-3 years ago. Beautiful voice - the recordings I came across sounded a bit slick, but I guess that's true with a lot of artists.
Cordell Jackson - "Rock And Roll Christmas" And a special gift for those of us with birthdays in December:
The King, Elvis - "How Great Thou Art" This concludes my Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays from some folks here in Memphis. (except for the A). And for bearing with me:
Zoom got me my first real kiss. It's also one bad bass note from being one of the greatest slow jams evah. At the word "Foolish", the band's playing a sharp 7 chord (what note doesn't matter- bands have been known to change song keys on occasion from tour to tour), and Ronald LaPread (IIRC, he is the songwriter) covers the 7 instead of the root. You can do that with a bass, but it has to be short in duration and pretty high up on the board, else it sounds like a root. In the studio version (I haven't yet listened to your post), it sounds like a bad root. If he just plays the actual root there (and in subsequent verses) it comes off a lot like similar parts of Sweet Love.
What are you hearing in his note choices? HIS tone is probably there, but he's undermixed and pillowed* IMO. Sounds like gut, but even gut has overtones that aren't being sent to the FOH or the TV feed, whichever it is we're hearing. *Basses have highs as well, and when they're EQed out, you get a dull thud. Some describe it like a pillow in front of the cabinet
P is for I thought it was Petula Clark; but after a few minutes of searching I discovered it was Lulu: RIP Sidney L. Poitier (February 20, 1927 – January 6, 2022)
