This one I did pretty quickly, the video editing especially, as you can tell on the ending. My FCP kept freezing while rendering and I started getting pissed off, so I just synced the starting and bounced it, so the syncing will be off before the end indefinitely. I recorded Soprano/Alto/Tenor in one afternoon, and Bass the next morning.

This arrangement was made popular by Manhattan Transfer. It was arranged by the Gene Puerling. This piece is an example of how much of a genius he truly was by making such amazing chords and voicings work with only four voices. Some of the most amazing things I've ever heard take place in this song, and my other recording "All The Things You Are" (Gene Puerling).

NO AUTOTUNING OR MELODYNE WAS USED IN THIS RECORDING. (because it is lame and ruins "authentic" music)

Youtube can make it sound a little robotic but it sounds pretty decent in HD, you just gotta give it a bit of time to render if your internet isn't incredibly fast.

Recorded with an Apex 435 Mic through an M-audio pre usb. Audio mixed in Logic Pro, and video in Final Cut Pro

Omg! Unbelievably beautiful. The first few notes had my eyes and mind searching for evidence of your lip-syncing the Hi-Lo's, but it seems you're real. Man, if you never do anything else in your life, you have already reached the heights of some great four part harmony groups even if you are not recognized.

Your video by itself is a work of Art. You blew me away with that talent. Looking for more of your videos. I was researching the song when I found yours; I wasn't sure about the bridge.

[Danny Fong]

Thanks! I'm trying to get a hold of the Hi-Lo's version. Or the whole album it's part of for that matter. Don't suppose you have it and want to share with me? I've never heard the Hi-Lo's sing it! Only Manhattan Transfer.

[Sharpamites]

i have a copy of the Hi-Lo's version. I'm going to upload it tonight for you to hear. btw... i enjoyed your all the things you are.

[Danny Fong]

THANK YOU! email me an mp3?

[Tswiftbubbles]

Oh my gosh!!! That was beautiful!! I seriously love you haha, it was one of the most amazing things I have ever heard.

Danny:

Awesome job.

Do you have perfect (absolute) pitch?

[Sharpamites]

sure. i uploaded the song on youtube as well

[alreadytakenthe3rd]

From someone with absolute pitch who sings a lot of a capella music, as far as I'm concerned there are no pitch issues. This guy is very good.

[Aline Homzy]

I transcribed it, and they fall about half a semi-tone flat. It's nothing against them. Even experienced singers don't stay perfectly in the same key without perfect pitch.

I have above average hearing. EXCELLENT!!!! I could only detect one slight mistake on a chord progression (nothing to be alarmed about). At first, I thought you were lip syncing the Transfer. You held notes longer than they did in some places, so I know it was live and not Memorex! You have an excellent ear for harmony. This is a very difficult music piece to reproduce, but you were magnificent!!

[standforchrist1153]

I have below average hearing. Its magnificent!!

3:44 - on 'goodbye'.... beautiful. Shine on man, shine on.
