I was very excited about the new Christmas album. Well, maybe we will see it next year...
Richard's last album was SO middle of the road elevator music. I think it is time he goes back to a very vocal oriented album.
He is so good on oldies, in particular. Maybe its time to do an album of remakes.
How about these choices:
"Poor Side of Town" the old Johnny Rivers Song
"See You in September" the Happenings
Give these songs a listen if you have them and see if you agree.
What songs do you think his voice would shine on?
Maybe a Beach Boys song for fun or even "This Guy's in Love with You" as a nice tribute to Herb Alpert?
He could even cover some songs he and Karen wished they did- or songs they passed on. Or a medley of 40s stuff like he did in the tribute concert in '83? Maybe even an instrumental of something like "Am I the Same Girl"? (Sorry, I can only remember the title of the vocal version of this piece- what was the name of the instrumental hit?)
This could be a fun project for him- and one that I think would bring him back a little more to the Adult Contemporary charts.
What would your album design be like for him?
