I guess a big part of singing is knowing what you fit and what fits you. By peoples responses I am starting to see that I may be a bit more bluesy sounding than I thought. But that's cool. As long as I know. It would help allot if I could alter the backing music to fit though. Trying to sing soulful to the original track doesn't work. I'm caught in the confines of that melody and parameters.

Thanks for the listen. When my voice bronchitis/pneumonia/whatever gets completely healed I will try to make a new track.

When i heard your bluesy voice, i didn't expect the falsetto as i think it does not really match your interpretation of the song. Thats the only thing i can point. Can't wait to listen to a better audio recording and without the voice flip. It would match more your style of singing.

Although I don't do this song anymore and have deleted it from my song list there is some good news (for me) about it. I love this song and always have. I really enjoy singing it although as I mentioned, I never felt it suited me. Or I should say I never suited it. But whenever I was going to be singing allot possibly over a period of days I used this as an ice breaker. A "get a feel for the crowd" song. I called it a throw away. It would be my first song on the first night when the crowd was light early in the evening to see how the crowd reacts, what kind of crowd it was and perhaps their taste in music. Also to give them a taste of my voice but without wasting any of my good songs. Normally I'm not warmed up well when i sing this and if I'm not I feel more inclined (forced) into the falsetto so as not to strain. The good news is that this video is pretty old and since then with the help of Felipe I don't have to use the falsetto anymore. Granted i still need to be warmed up good but I can navigate that portion of the song better now and more comfortably without flipping into falsetto. Actually I still throw in a couple of falsetto "Let It Be's" in the second half of the song after the instrumental break just for some color.

Felipe and I didn't actually work on this song as I never brought it to his attention. Like I said, I love it and love singing it, but it isn't what I would call a fit. But by working with Felipe on other things, techniques, exercises, enlightenment, other songs, I find it easier to dig through my toolbox and go back to old trouble spots (or new ones) and fix them.
If I could find a backing track (I've searched) that was a bit more soulful or bluesy I'd like that. It would fit me better. Joe Cocker does a version but there is no track. I think Ray Charles has also covered this (or maybe that was hey Jude?) but no luck there.

Anyway. Maybe someday I will post a newer version without the flip. I only recently posted this one to my Youtube channel but the actual video is probably a couple of years old. I'm not sure.

Just thought I'd note the progress I made on this thanks to some training and Felipe's help. Thanks for listening

Thanks Owen.

But boy that phone quality really hides the details!!!

Or maybe it was an unusually low quality upload?

In the video (my wife is doing the filming and as always only gets some of the song...lol) you see my beer sitting on the table. It's late and that isn't my first!

I don't really do this song anymore as it isn't in my wheelhouse. Plus, people want to hear "The Beatles" and if you know me yet, you know that I only do "Tommy." Everything has a touch of soul or blues added.
