... with a more up-to-date Latino beat, such as he has been doing of late.
Sting will sing it.

You could have stumbled onto the route to an ageing performers' retirement fund. Think of it as some sort of Testimonial number. Get a different performer every six months or so to rerecord it with him. |

I have Santana blaring in my car, regularly. Oddly enough, my children adore the music. |
|
|
I was hoping for Celine Dion on vocals, though. |
|
|
bris.. next time "Black Magic Woman" is playing... just imagine Sting on the vocals. He'd be perfect for it. And the sound to do with an update also. |
|
|
This idea is a result of catching the song in question on the drive in today, combined with overdosing on "All This Time", Sting's latest (amazing) CD, last night. |
|
|
What about Marylin Manson? |
|
|
See Santana in Concert as I have - you have to see a concert in order to appreciate what his extensive drum section does - Any song by Santana seems to be Mixolydian in the Key of G - Celine Dion must die - Carlos would try to straighten Marilyn Manson out, as he did Walter Trout. Carlos is a spiritual man - he recognizes the body as truly being a temple. |

My donation of one croissant is directly related to the mention of Mr. Loaf. |

Geez, Thumb, you want to kill off Celine? I'm hurt. |
|
|
It would be a mercy killing bristolz. |
|
|
I'm sorry you were hurt during the entirely fictional assassination attempt on the unfortunately still living Celine |
|
|
But she's easily the best singer alive today, despite your assassination attempts. |

Actually, she and Whitney et al have a woman (whose name I cannot remember {which is doubly sad} - nor can I think of the proper terms to use for a Google Search) who 'pre-sings' the songs for them. This woman sees the lyrics, knows how/why/where/when to use emphasis/nuance in singing. They follow her lead, and come up with their little audience favourites.
Without her, they'd be up the proverbial creek - as though they can hit those money notes, they have not the inner ear to 'hear' and therefore have the sang sing song sung properly. |
|
|
She is the scourge of karaoke bars and all the drunk women who think they can sing "My Heart Will Go On". Mind you South Park wouldn't be the same without her, aye. |
|
|
LA vocal arranger Morgan Ames is listed as having recorded/performed with both Celine Dion and Whitney Houston, but I don't know if she actually did arrangements for them. |
|
|
Apparently, singers figuring out how to sing something is so rare it is worth mentioning. |
|
|
(I hope you all know that I am kidding . . . about Dion, that is) |
|
|
How about Santana re-releasing "Black Magic Woman" with (what's left of) the Dionne Quints on vocals? |
|
|
I like Sting and I like Santana but I don't think the two would work with this song. How about the OzzMan? |
|
|
How come we've got all the way down here and no-one's mentioned Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac yet? |
|
|
I think they lost their focus after they moved into
banking. |
|
|
An interesting tale, but not a surprising one, given the intricacies of the music machine these days. |
|
|
I always thought that Jim Morrison could have had a lucrative career as a country western singer. |
|
|
If you can catch Jon Anderson on his next flyby near Earth, I'd like to hear him give a shot at Stairway to Heaven. |

Ian, I have listened to his new cd several times, as it was
eagerly awaited in this household. I love all the
instrumentals, but only a few of the songs with vocals. Not
my favorite. But some of the instrumental songs sound as
good or better than his earlier work. I say. |
