วีดีโอ

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

Thanks for listening. IMO, the Beatles were an under-rated R&B band and the addition of Billy Preston took this record to another level.

Glad you enjoyed it

This cover is in Bb major.

@@jackinvox thank you for the fast response.

Thank you for listening and considering my homemade backing track cover worthy.

Goo goo goo joob! Thanks!

Four! I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you, Robert.

Much appreciated. Cheers!

Much appreciated. Cheers!

Thank you for listening (and commenting)!

Thanks, Robert. RE the fade out, who am I to question the genius of producer Stevland Morris? As I've replied twice on other videos, share an email address and I'll send you an MP3 with an ending.

Thanks. If you sing it aloud, be sure to loosen the bra straps for the last note (read the Wikipedia page on the song).

I think musicians in every era produced good music. "Good" music may not be the most popular music of the time (as now where most pop music has a committee for songwriters and a loop is often considered the foundation of a song rather than the melody, harmony, and lyrics). Well-crafted pop music by a solo songwriter or pair of writers is still being produced. We just have to dig a little deeper to find it.

Dickey Betts was a phenomenally melodic writer and player.

Thank you! It's very kind of you to say so. I thank the team at Apple everyday for including GarageBand in iLife back in 2004 (which shortly led to me upgrading to Logic). I think the last time I paid for a Logic update was 2007. Since then, it's become a very full-featured comprehensive DAW (the new stem splitter allows users to hear isolated parts more clearly than ever before).

@@jackinvox Jack, thanks for reaching out. From now on you are going to be my Logic guru, LOL. Are you actually saying you can load a professional track into Logic and it separates out parts into tracks? Must be a new AI feature, right?

I'd appreciate if you could kindly refrain from expletives on the channel. Thanks. If the intro bothers you, you can always fast-forward to the six-second mark to skip the intro. th-cam.com/video/UGpVaw8LanU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vlIsrDj0jhWZ29gP&t=6

Thanks! A little Eddie Cochran by way of London.

Nice record but I dare not cover an exposed lead saxophone like that with my virtual MIDI instrument.

Thanks for listening but I don't think we should let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

@@jackinvox Very true but I sung it this past Tuesday night and the band received a lot of positive reviews. And it wasn’t perfect but I was really confident. So thanks again!

That's very, cool about sharing venues with the up-and-coming singer who became the legend. As I told you with "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," message me with an email address and I'll send you an MP3 with an ending.

Very good . What a key to sing in lol. Tom's voice was amazing . Back in the '90s , just a bit before the whole karaoke thing took off , I was buying backing tracks , from several different companies , mostly out of New York. Back then the tracks were on tape. In a few cases I had to run the tapes through a digital key changer . In some cases ,I could drop them two whole steps , anything beyond that and the instruments didn't sound real anymore , the octaves were just too low. I imagine you are recreating in the key of the original artist. I remember having to write to the companies I was using for permission to use the tracks in public performance. It was a good run , from '91 to roughly 2004 , with a few gigs continuing into 2007. In 2004 , I started playing in bands again. The first thing I noticed was how much tempos waver with live musicians after all those years with a steady temp. Lol. This is one of my favorite Tom Jones songs. Thank you for doing it. .

Thanks for listening. You can do one of three things: 1) You can begin playing the video at 6 seconds. th-cam.com/video/gM2NXCmUk5I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hTfyw3oyXzQ0mito&t=6 2) You can download the audio and edit off the intro music in any audio-editing application (I like Audacity). 3) You can play it yourself like I did. ;-)

Thank you. Trying to recreate a Richard Carpenter arrangement can be a masterclass in "tasteful" arranging.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you for listening. I was probably enjoying Blues Image and a lot of other music likely soon to be forgotten. All things must pass.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks. If you want to share an email address, I can send an MP3 with an ending.

Thank you!

Thank you, Robert.

Thank you for sharing the lyrics.

@@jackinvox Glad to be of help. - There are TH-cam Karaoke versions of the original song and I have recorded myself singing it. Came out sounding very much like the Orig. version. (I am proud to say.) Nothing posted yet.

I don't mean to deceive anybody or misrepresent my “cover” recordings. The “video description reads: “Cover recording of a backing track for a song from the soundtrack from the Beatles’ 1965 film Help!" The definition of “cover” from the dictionary: Cover: Music. to perform or record (a cover version of a song): Ex. The band has covered more than ten Bob Dylan songs in concert. to perform or record a cover version of a song by (another singer, instrumentalist, or group) It does what it says on the tin, no?

@daciuk8 Thank you for listening. If you can present your question in a less profane (TH-cam is a website open to all, not a pub or a locker room) and more detailed way, I will be glad to respond.

I appreciate the comment. I am curious what you think distinguishes Ringo's style of drumming. Thanks again!

@@jackinvox Hello, you are so welcome mate. You asked for it, okay! What always interested me about Ringo's drumming style is that it comes across as sophisticated and clever. He was so selective and cultivated during the Beatles recording career, very ingenious at all his endeavors at his approach to each individual song. Ringo is a song drummer and by that I mean he creates and incorporates different rhythms and grooves into each and every individual song cleverly weaving a tapestry of percussive beauty. He was perfect for the band with personality and musical ability not overly aggressive on the drums but subtle allowing him to record the flavor required for the song at hand. His early work had lots of energy while the later recordings were tasteful and colorful. Everyone talks about the genius of John, Paul and George and rightfully so but Ringo is so much a part of the Beatles equation rounding out their Earthy aura. Ringo 🌟 is a GENIUS in his own right and only recently has he been awarded that title which in my opinion is long over due. I hope this helps. Thank you for your question. 🌎☮️❤️ 🍏 Apple Records 🍏 © 2024

@SilverHammer1969 Thanks for your considered and somewhat lengthy reply. I was expecting a curt “Ringo could swing on the hats while he played straight 8ths on the kick.” I concur that Ringo always played for the song and, to this day, his contributions on Beatles recordings are largely underrated. I wouldn’t goes far as to label Ringo a genius but he is a brilliantly intuitive musician who was the ideal fourth member for the greatest rock/pop band ever.

Thanks for listening. I never present any of my videos as original recordings. The description for this video clearly states "Cover recording of a backing track for a song from the soundtrack from the Beatles’ 1965 film Help!" These are not commercial backing tracks for live musicians. They are self-made exercises for me to advance my recording/arranging skills. Here is a demonstration on how I create these recordings. th-cam.com/video/OI7GjVUKzCw/w-d-xo.html FWIW, I am old enough to have experienced it first hand and I think I do understand. ;-)

Now l understand, keep up the great work. ❤️☮️​@@jackinvox

Los Beatles eran únicos. Gracias por escuchar.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks again. We'll just have to agree to differ.

Thanks. The Beatles, George Martin, and Geoff Emerick were the magicians. I’m just a kid with a book of tricks trying to make ersatz copies.

Gracias por su atención. Por si sirve de algo, mis dos canciones favoritas de Abbey Road son "Something" y "Here Comes the Sun" y están entre mis 5 mejores canciones de los Beatles en general. Todos deberíamos aspirar a alcanzar esa mediocridad. Los Beatles eran un equipo, no competidores, y cada miembro cumplía su parte. “Bueno y malo, yo defino estos términos Bastante claro, sin duda, de alguna manera. Ah, pero yo era mucho mayor entonces. Ahora soy más joven”-Bob Dylan

I like that you like it. Thanks for giving it a listen.

Thank you! I appreciate you giving it a listen and leaving a comment.

Thanks for listening but why the negative waves so early in the morning? Yeah, yeah, yeah! ;-)

Why? Sounded spot on to me...

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!

You are welcome. Cheers!

You're welcome and thanks to you!

Definitely out of my wheelhouse so I appreciate your support.

This one really was my pleasure. It's a challenge to attempt such a deep group groove by oneself but, succeed or not, the vibe of the song kept it fun. Thanks again!
