Here’s a cheesy one but I like the melody. For all you aspiring pop song writers out there…this one is pretty cool to analyze harmonically.
Kings of Leon are pretty popular with their hit “Sex on Fire” which is a damn good song. Not sure how many people have heard this one. Let me know what you think!
Brother Jack McDuff (September 17, 1926-January 23, 2001) was a great jazz organist and organ trio bandleader who was most prominent during the hard bop and soul jazz era of the 1960s. “The Shadow Of Your Smile”, also known as “Love Theme from The Sandpiper”, is a popular song written by Johnny Mandel, the lyrics by Paul Francis Webster. It was introduced in the 1965 movie The Sandpiper and later became a minor hit for Tony Bennett.
Here’s a cool tune with Chick Corea on Piano and Jean-Luc Ponty on Violin. I think Stanley Clarke is on bass for this one.
“A Change Is Gonna Come” is one of my favorite songs of all time. Sam Cooke is considered to be one of the pioneers and founders of soul music. He founded both a record label and a publishing company as an extension of his careers as a singer and composer. He also took an active part in the American Civil Rights Movement.
