I think Searching by Change (Luther Vandross) is 4/4 (four to the floor) but has a 12/8 feel.

I heard it through the Grapevine - Marvin Gaye or Gladys Knight & The Pips. The Night by Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. Although not on the Motown Label, it was a popular tune in the Northern Soul clubs. It defiantly has the Motown vibe and feel.

Excellent version. Very well played and sung by all!! I also saw Richard's acknowledgement over on YouTube as well - (He's a top, top arranger).

That's interesting. It might be because she is a tad pitchy at times (IMO). Although, like you, I do like the version. There is plenty of energy and the horn players really nailed the parts.

A little bit more than the above has happened in the last eleven years. 2013–present: "Sirens" EP series and re-engagement with contemporary dance pop [edit] On 20 and 21 September 2013, Level 42 (joined by an expanded brass section), performed three new songs at London's Indigo O2 Arena – "Where's Yo' Head At", "Too Much Time", and "Sirens". All of these appeared on the band's first new release for seven years, the six-song studio EP "Sirens" (released on 31 October 2013, and the first output from the band's new self-owned label Level 42 Records). Mixed by the American DJ John Morales, the EP also contained "Mind On You", "My Independence Day" and "Build Myself a Rocket" (with King's daughter Marlee providing the backing vocals on the last of these tracks). Musically, it built on the production approach of Retroglide while allying the band with contemporary developments in R&B and dance electronica. On 3 December 2013, the band announced 'The Sirens Tour' – a 30 date tour, starting in October 2014 and taking in the UK, Netherlands, Germany and Italy. In the summer of 2014, the band performed at a number of festivals across Europe including headline performances at Let's Rock Bristol and Rochester Castle. They also played at Rewind festivals. At a performance in Bournemouth, ex-drummer Gary Husband returned due to Pete Ray Biggin being unavailable.[citation needed] In 2015, the band appeared at a number of UK and European festivals headlining at 'Let's Rock The Moor' and 'Carfest' concerts. They also played two nights at the Indigo2 in London where the band once again featured a larger brass section consisting of Dan Carpenter (trumpet) and Nicol Thomson (trombone) as well as regular saxophonist Sean Freeman. In 2016, Level 42 performed at a number of festivals across the UK and Europe as well as in Curaçao, Chile and Argentina before embarking on a UK, Netherlands and Scandinavian tour in order to promote the "Sirens II" EP. On 1 May 2019, it was announced that Boon Gould had been found dead at his home in Dorset. He was 64.[18] On 4 July 2019, Level 42 made a rare North American incursion, being the band to perform the first concert to launch the week long Festival d'été de Québec (Quebec City Summer Festival). Then since the Pandemic...They did what most working musicians do...Gig and tour (a lot). Level 42 Gigography, Tour History & Past Concerts – Songkick

That whole '89 PT concert was great; Mark King and Gary Husband were on fire that night. I seem to remember 'Breakout' with Corinne Drewery with the house band being particularly good as well.

Yes, of course, sorry, I worded it wrong. I meant he would need to look under 'Extensions' first, on the tool bar. The little Jigsaw button (assuming it's pinned).

Try what 'tauzero' suggested, although it might be under 'Extensions'.

Haha, I've been using F.B Purity for about three years and I missed that one.

I have never placed any music up on the streaming sites. However, various Library companies I have music placed with, quite often include some of my tracks on taster compilation albums. Any payments I get are via the library company, and of course, that comes after their commission payments, or whatever deal I am on with them. Payments aren't that great. Laughable really at times. On three occasions in the past five years, three particular tracks were followed back to one of my library companies which resulted in a sale and sync licences for TV & Radio. (2 TV & 1 Radio) The actual sales and then the broadcast royalty payments from PRS/MCPS were quite good. If it wasn't for Spotify and Apple Music, I probably would not have had those sales. Library company income and sometimes the follow-on royalties for me, far, far outweigh what I could ever get on streaming platforms. But even that has generated less as each year goes by. That's probably because I don't regularly put music up anymore, meaning I drop down the rotating playlist on the library sites. I'm not at all precious about my music/tracks/cues, it's all about financial return for me. So as far as I'm concerned, the music can just sit there in the hope it eventually gets picked up for something. And that's what library music is all about and definitely not for everybody. There are ways of increasing chances of sales though. One is: Putting up various time lengths of a track when possible - Full track plus 15/30/00:60 seconds versions etc. More often than not (in my case), the shorter versions have been the sellers. At times I'm surprised where it ends up and what it is used for. Also, more and more Library companies have compilation albums out in just about every commercial organisation you can think of. Virtually everyone is trying to be as proactive as they can and are thinking outside of the box when it comes to getting music out there. That includes anyone who is promoting/pushing your music on your behalf. I suppose at the end of the day, it depends on how much control you want over your own material.

Once downloaded and installed, there are a whole load of options on the left-hand side to toggle on and off. So it's worth having a good look. It really can tidy up Facebook.

If the adds start to pop up again use the below ' X Zap', then close Facebook, re-open, then the ads will be gone. The chap running F.B. Purity tends to keep on top of it, an update will appear every now and again. The above is always a workaround until an update. It's usually down to Facebook fighting back.

Nah, none of that...Just use 'F.B. Purity'. You can choose pretty much anything you want or don't want on your timeline.

I also find his story telling and anecdotes funny. He's quite a character. The story from the Sunset Sound Studio video interview about when he got banned from Berklee College of Music...

Not as funny as the interview when he relates the story, but here it is from Lukather (below). Interesting he mentions the Gene Page arrangement. on the video on the Freddie Washington thread, Freddie mentions the great Gene Page and how he like to write out detailed note arrangements. That time Lee Ritenour bailed Steve Lukather out on a session

Steve Lukather didn't nail everything on the spot. On one of his many interviews and funny tales of the session world, he tells a great story about when he was sitting next to Lee Ritenour on a session: He was on Guitar two and 'Rit' was on Guitar one. For some reason, Guitar two had nothing but wall to wall ink on the pages and Guitar one had very little of anything. SL couldn't read the part or get anywhere close... 'Rit' noticed him struggling so quickly swapped the parts over and all ended fine. Lee Ritenour told the same story on one of his interviews and funny tales of the LA golden session years when asked about it. Very funny...

On the Spotify platform it is a 70/30% split (Spotify are the 30%).

Yes, definitely less than some of the other platforms. I was just responding to your Spotify reference.

The Spotify finance distribution info is available from plenty of outlets, and they are all pretty much using the same figures. Which, If I'm not mistaken, are quite a way off from what 'Karen & Dave' spew out on Facebook and X and other SM platforms. The not so 'fair share' is more to do with the record labels, publishers and distributors than Spotify itself. How Much Do Artists Make on Spotify (2024)
