Duane Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Eric Carmen said: When I recorded the song "Change Of Heart" I decided to try a little experiment. Instead of booking the typical L.A. vocal session with either the current guy or girl session singers of the day I decided I'd like to try some mismatched singers with different styles and try to reinforce their individuality rather than go for homogenizing. The singers I booked were Samantha Sang (Austrailian BeeGee girl) Valerie Carter (urban cowgirl) Donny Girard ( lead singer of David Foster's band Skylark) and Brian and Brenda Russell (Brian sounded like a smoother Bill Medley, Brenda is the "Piano In The Dark, Get Here singer). I wasn't really sure if it would work but when they started to sing it was absolutely magical. Eric...is this how Samantha Sang came to cover Change Of Heart on her Emotion album?

LC Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Bump of the day. A great old thread for any of us who like to spend time in fantasy land. 🙂 I especially wanted to get this in front of BT, who registered recently and asked about Eric comments on the Beach Boys. This thread has a really insightful bit from Eric on the Beach Boys' vocals. It's the 19th post down on page 1. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda B Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Very good bump indeed.! Anytime I can see Eric talking about music and instrumentation is a great day. And he added Dusty Springfield and Lesley Gore to his list..perfect! And he doesn't beat around the bush, he says exactly what he likes and what he doesn't.  I appreciate his honesty. Good job LC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doreen Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Could add Graham Nash to someone’s version. His voice melds well with others 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
