"the Magic Touch"

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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 .... :)

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 :)

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.

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.

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 -

You have to wait to 1:31 into the clip for the main part of what's left of the Magic Touch.

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.

:thumbsup: 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

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.
