Keith Wilby Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Hi all. This song is written and sung by my pal and (then) bandmate Rob Rigby. The instruments and backing vocals are by me. Rob passed away many years ago. I'd always wanted to do a better version of his song than our band did (the guy on keyboards couldn't really play and the drummer raced like Mo Farah) but I could never sing it well enough, so this vocal is (mostly) from the terrible quality 1986 video recording here. Not the best quality audio but still better than me singing it. Rob's on the LH Washburn, the dopey looking bassist is me 😁 Comments and suggestions welcomed as always.

freddy j Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Great tribute indeed. Given the 1986 quality, I think that it sounds good. I thought the "boys in the band" all did a great job including the vocals. The lead vocal was very good as were the BGV's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Very nice tribute to your friends song. You are lucky to have video from back then! It wasnt all that common then. I think the instrumentation you created goes very well with the song. The vocals arent too bad quality really. He has an interesting voice. If you wanted to try to improve them I think some plugins that take out resonances, room sounds, dereverb kind of stuff whatever are probably available as a trial. Anyways, nice work and you had a good singer/songwriter/bandmate in Rob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion though 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
