    A Question for You

    I need some help on a decision to record a song.
    I need a good, traditional song to cover............the lead vocalist is a male - high tenor.
    The backup vox are two (strong voiced) college chicks (one being my daughter).

    Guitars, keyboards, drums, etc.............not a problem.

    I'm trying to find the best song to cover and have a fun day in the studio for these three singers. Will likely get this completed during the Summer break while the girls are home from college, so lots of time to make a good decision.........any genre considered.

    Just for fun, I GOOGLED "Best Duets" and got a little help.
    I figure the folks here at the RR board will be the best advisors I can find............think it over and let me know.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    With backup singers Sweet Home Alabama came to mind but maybe not best for a tenor.
    How about Styx, Light Up
    LOL, Knock 3 Times, Tony Orlando & Dawn
    REO, Roll With The Changes.
    Reunited, Peaches & Herb
    Crocodile Rock
    Sailing, Christopher Cross
    Maybe something from Jefferson Starship, I always liked Ride The Tiger
    If you really meant just a duet, Stevie Nicks, Leather & Lace
    Oh well, you can tell me if I'm on the right track before trying any more

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    Yes?

    Fleetwood Mac has a few songs that make use of three-part harmony, so does Porcupine Tree for that matter.
    Repost this on your wall if you love Jesus.
