angelina Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Reports mention that David Foster, Dianne Warren & Whitney Houston are working in the studio together again. David Foster notes that Whitney is in fine voice, great shape..and working hard.I always envisioned Eric's "Someone That You Loved Before" (co-written with Warren) being performed by a contemporary Diva ( like Mariah Carey). I know Diana Ross covered it with some success...but wouldn't it be cool if Whitney roared back with this EC gem?We've probably covered this subject before but what other EC songs do you envision others singing and why?John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Foster should work his magic with Eric's second solo hit, "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again." That gem needs to be brought back into the spotlight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 To me...that song is Eric's most timeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mc Carthy Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Someone that you loved before I was smitten by that song the first time i heard it I think its the best song off the I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU Album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelina Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Steve & Bernie:"Never Gonna Fall In Love Again" was my late father's favorite EC song. He pointed out to me the Rachmaninoff influence on that entire album including NGFILA.I'd love to see that come around again in a new incarnation.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Mariah needs to do "Boats". THAT would be a massive hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 NGFILA would be a dynamite choice. I agree--needs to be brought back again. Hint hint hint... --D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 The verse of that gem is so strong and melodic. No need to wait for the chorus to be hooked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlesteve Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I totally agree with one caveat... I am far too biased to give anyone else's treatment a chance.. Erics vocals are so strong and up front in the mix, that I cannot fairly separate the wonderful melody from his voice.. it's in my dna.. still love to see someone try, and I'll humbly keep quiet..

seattlesteve Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Billy K.. hey If I'm not mistaken tunesmith extradordinaire Foster is from the University of Washington in Seattle, and Quincy Jones hails from here too.. love to be a fly in the wall if those two had a beer at the Northlake Tavern...EC: Let's rehearse/practice and noodle that solo tour here in Seattle, off the radar.. we'll set you up with the venues, or the stage in my house.. Pull a Billy Joel, and play unannounced, Eric Howard, at the 13 Coins near Sea-Tac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
