Posted September 29, 201014 yr Chap upstairs here at work is asking for some samples of tracks with female vocal with piano; Harry says: mr sims! you're good on obscure music - after any track with a solo piano in and a female vocal so any song with a piano in that plays on its own and then has some bird singing at some point in it Any ideas? 7/1/11 Finished clip post # 22.

September 29, 201014 yr Lots of Alicia Keys video would probably work, especially her earlier stuff, and the added bonus is getting to look at Alicia, a treat to behold!
September 29, 201014 yr Author Lots of Alicia Keys video would probably work, especially her earlier stuff, and the added bonus is getting to look at Alicia, a treat to behold! Cheers - passed on and edited 1st post - as not 'video' - but any track, solo piano then female vocal.
September 29, 201014 yr Author Thanks chaps. Really tough going this - just to find piano then female vocal. I just know there's something awesome I'm overlooking, but I can't think what. Too many track have drum roll intro, or backing vocals. Larry Allen would be perfect if it were 'Loretta Allen' on green Dolphin ....
September 29, 201014 yr Author Thanks for all the input. Currently The Magic Touch without the drums is 1st choice. This is going to be sampled into a drum & base track and the producer promises a clip of the finished product.
September 29, 201014 yr Somewhere out there there is a version of "I Go To Pieces" with Steve Cradock on the piano & P. P. Arnold on vocals, no other instuments involved, I've heard it & its beautiful. Just searched for it on the usual sites & can't find it. Someone on here may have a sound bite of it though, Carol
September 29, 201014 yr Not heard it in ages but how about Pat Lewis - Warning? If your mate isnt particularly inteserted in what genre. I recommend 10,000 Maniacs - Verdi Cries. Natalie Merchant plays the piano and tears at the heart strings, with disturbing and hypnotic vocals that make your conscience bleed...IMO of course Edited September 29, 201014 yr by in town Mikey

Nina Simone - my baby just cares for me
September 29, 201014 yr Author How about Donna Coleman/ Your love's to strong Drum intro & male vocal ... We're after piano intro & female vocal Edited September 29, 201014 yr by Simsy
September 29, 201014 yr Bit laid back for a drum & bass track.. So what you're looking for is a drum & bass track with a piano intro followed by a female vocal?
September 29, 201014 yr Author So what you're looking for is a drum & bass track with a piano intro followed by a female vocal? Not exactly. Any track that has a piano riff, followed by a female vocal. I/we were asked as we have a wealth of brilliant unknown's.. He is going to sample the piano/vocal into a drum & bass track. Edited September 29, 201014 yr by Simsy
September 29, 201014 yr Bit laid back for a drum & bass track.. Been looking at Nina Simone myself. She certainly has a vast and varied catalogue - not all of which is too well known. Lots of her stuff has been remixed and sampled by other music genres already, sadly to it's detriment IMO. Kev.

Harry says: Heres something I knocked up in literally 10 minutes aint great but will give you an idea! Oh and its Nu-Rave I'm making not drum and bass !! hard to keep up with the names of everything! simon harris - quick idea -

January 6, 201114 yr the producer promises a clip of the finished product. You have to wait to 1:31 into the clip for the main part of what's left of the Magic Touch.
January 7, 201114 yr You have to wait to 1:31 into the clip for the main part of what's left of the Magic Touch. Having waited the required 1:31 , I found myself losing the will to live .Its 1:31 of my life wasted never to return .Not my cup of tea at all - Sorry
January 7, 201114 yr Author Having waited the required 1:31 , I found myself losing the will to live .Its 1:31 of my life wasted never to return .Not my cup of tea at all - Sorry Could of just skipped to the 1:31 Mart! Think he did quite a clever job mesen.
January 7, 201114 yr Author You have to wait to 1:31 You don't have to do anything. You can skip on down if you can be arsed!

Lots of her stuff has been remixed and sampled by other music genres already, sadly to it's detriment IMO. Kev. Had this on one of my podcasts recently - a record I searched for when it came out but never knew the artist so couldn't find it - this isn't the best mix, the original mix was better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLpwIv3XiQk Edited January 7, 201114 yr by Pete S
January 7, 201114 yr this is apprently .. That's odd because neither of those, the one I posted and the one you posted, are the same as the one I recorded off the radio and was trying to find for years - neither are as good! I know "New dawn" is really old hat now but that was the first record to sample it and at the time it worked really well.
Chap upstairs here at work is asking for some samples of tracks with female vocal with piano;
Harry says:
mr sims!
you're good on obscure music - after
any track with a solo piano in and a female vocal
so any song with a piano in that plays on its own
and then has some bird singing at some point in it
Any ideas?
