Thanks, it does help but is it Barbra's actual track without the voice or did your friend create the track based on Barbra's version? If it's the actual track, how was the voice removed?
Outstanding! You capture the true essence of the song. Right up there with Patti Austin's version which is my favorite. Where did you get the background music from?
@getzfan1 Can't thank you enough for your INCREDIBLE comment!!! I borrowed the backing from a friend and just recently, I've looked for that backing on my hard drives and haven't been able to locate it..but it is Barbra Sreisand's backing (if that helps). Again, thank you!
"The Island" is one of my all time favorite Brazilian jazz songs and I've listened to many, many versions of this song from both professional and amateur singers and your version left me speechless. I listened to it 3 times straight and I have to say without a doubt you are the best I have ever heard sing this beautiful song. It was absolutely beautiful!!!!!!
@TaipanTex ...and your WONDERFUL comment has left me speechless!! It makes me very happy to know you enjoyed my little performance and I thank you most sincerely. P.S. If you haven't heard Patti Austin's cover of this song, you may want to check it out. It's Beautiful!
@Keedeeg I've listened to Patti Austin many times singing this song but her interpretation of this song is too sad I feel and has too much of that 1970s "lounge singer" style. This song was meant to be sung with the dignified excitement and joy of a woman who is incredibly in love. She shows her excitement by not pausing very long between lines as did Patti Austin (Shirley Horn was horrible) but doesn't over do it by shouting. And the joy in your voice is spot on - you did this song justice.
Thanks I like your version better than Barbra's. Much better!
