  • Paul, ok. Intonation is good. Watch the vibrato though. Difficult stuff to sing without vibrato, in order to maintain pitch as notes are held, but that's why CSN is so bad ass. Their notes in harmony are smooth without heavy vibrato if any. Dig what I'm saying? Thanks for the post :-)

  • @SanDiegoBabyBu  Thank you for taking the time to make a thoughtful comment. I'll have to experiment with a non-vibrato version, although I'm pretty pleased with how the vibrato version turned out. CSN are in a class by themselves, between the lyrics, the music, the vocal blending, and the time they put into making those recordings, they are like the Grand Canyon of rock 'n roll. Unmatched. Have you heard their version of dear Mr. fantasy? Pure heaven! Peace, Paul.

  • You were right! Another beautiful cover! Thanks for telling me about it.

  • @MrBaxter27 Thanks a lot! I've been checking out your channel, very entertaining. Paul.

  • that is just so awesome!

  • @teddy1555 Hi Teddy, I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for listening and commenting. That's a good ear to pick up Anne Murray, I brought her in to help on the high parts. Peace, Paul.

  • @annettenpaul

    Excellent job Paul, but I swear I hear Anne Murray singing with you!

  • Is it just me, or can anyone that knows of Rasputinas music see that they were immensely influenced by these guys? You can obviously see they were inspiration. 

  • Thanks Paul. As you can see I have a wide range of music loves. From very old to very new. I have just discovered, or should I say used You tube for finding all my songs. Itunes was getting too costly. I like yt for home listening. My Favorites right now are Hurt by Johnny Cash, and the Fiona Apple version of Elvis Costellos I want you.

  • @jucafii Thanks so much, I appreciate that you took time to listen and comment. Happy Holidays.Paul.
