This song is dedicated to all Dads, past and present!
Happy Father's Day to all loving and understanding fathers of our world!!!
Peace and love!!!

    Very expressive. A little Ray Charles in there, too. Happy Father’s Day, Rene.

    What a great song that is… you do it justice Rene.

    I’m curious about your recording set up:
    Microphone make and model?
    Reverb hardware or software?

    Is the guitar using a pickup or just coming in with through the mic you’re singing into?

    I watched a YouTube show of Leon trading his hits with Glen Campbell that looks like it was made by a Canadian TV station in the 80’s. They were both at the top of their game instrumentally and vocally.

    Here I found it… (it looks like you have to play it on YouTube).

    Hi McD,
    Love the video!
    The piano version is quite beautiful as well!!!
    My set-up is quite simple:
    2 mics; Shure SM-58 - directed to guitar; Ear Trumpet labs "Edwina" - directed to vocals
    - guitar recording via microphone (has electronics, but not using it at this time)
    - both mics are picking up all the sounds in the room, each mic is being directed to guitar and vocal
    INTO - Yamaha MG10FX Mixer - I am using built-in room reverb #6
    INTO - UAD Volt 2/76 Audio Interface
    INTO - IMAC, I am recording via Quick Time Player movie.

    No additional effects after the "live recording" of a movie.
    Thanks for asking.
    Rene

    I think your "Ear Trumpet Edwina" mic and that Yamaha Reverb add-on to the Yamaha mixer and doing a good job capturing your vocals. I heard a local live musician using that same mic and it was really nice out front through his PA. The design is really distinctive and I thought it looked the same as the one I saw live. I can see that it's not an inexpensive mic ($599 I think) for most home studios but it seems to really do the job. There are folks here that might mention some even more expensive mic's but you have to work within a budget.

    Lovely soulful voice and a lovely soulful song which I had never heard before. You must be one of them there proper musicians! Who apparently lives in a music shop? :) Seriously : thank you. That was great.

    Listening to this was a lovely way to start the morning. You make it sound easy. Happy belated Father’s Day. Bet you’re a great Dad. Thank you

    Great, great song and you do it justice!
    I hadn't heard that name for years and I did some research. I didn't know that Leon was one of the 'Wrecking Crew', i.e.the top studio musicians in L.A. You both have unique, memorable sounding voices! Very pleasant to listen to. Have a great day!

    You are absolutely correct!!!
