Pretty Lady (Lighthouse cover)

Lighthouse released this song in 1973 and it became their second biggest hit after "One Fine Morning".

Here I've tried to recreate much of the original sound with my own variations. For those of you interested, I played all the instruments and of course, sang all the harmonies. The horns and bass were done using the Roland GR-33 guitar synthesizer and a Roland-Ready strat with midi pickup. I did the drums on midi keyboard ... haha, not so great but they'll have to do for now. I had a great time recording this song!

Unfortunately, I had a sore throat so my singing is a bit weird at times. Hope you'll let that slide this time around.

Dedicated to Dini! :)

Thank you Elliot for recording this. I think that your version was actually a little better than the original was! Keep recording , you sound good.

Always been a fan of Lighthouse and was lucky enough to see them live with Bob Mcbride as front man in the early seventies.

You did an excellent job man I really enjoyed your version.
