Bear in mind that most of the great songs from back then relied heavily on vocal harmony. That doesn't seem to be happening these days. I remember getting into music in a big way because of the amazing vocal arrangements John Phillips was doing with The Mamas And The Papas. Their song "California Dreamin" might make the transition to modern style. There was a lot of vocal fill in the background, but the melody voice was solo. And it does have a driving beat.

Taste is a big issue with covers. You don't want to end up with a stinking piece of garbage like what Lenny Kravitz did to the Guess Who's "American Woman".[/font]

While this is all pretty true. My style of music and the way I record has me layering my voice a couple of times. I just like the way it sounds. I don't know if you heard my stuff LATS. This is why a song like "Sound of Silence" is appealling to me. Another few songs I'd love to do would be "Piano Man" or "Tamborine Man", the afore mentioned "Sister Golden Hair", "Eve of Destruction". If you haven't heard my stuff please allow me to post it so you can maybe get a grasp of what I'm trying to do.My Stuff.
