The first track of 2022! Nostalgia is not like it used to be!

Brian Adams - Summer of 69

I heard this recently, and the guitar riff is so strong that I thought that the song needed extending. See what you think.

The song was released as the A-side of their eleventh single in May 1966. It topped singles charts in the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, West Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Norway.

The Beatles - Paperback Writer

This was one of Cliffs biggest hits in the 1980s with a slightly more rocky sound in this version!

Cliff Richard - Some People

There are three well known versions of this track. the original by Cameo, the early 90's hit by Gun and also one by Korn. 

I attributed this to Gun, being the first version that I heard, even though Cameo's original had been released some time before.

Gun - Word Up

1973 Bubblegum Pop at its finest!

Pretty much a one-hit wonder although 2 or 3 incarnations of "The Rubettes" seemed to have survived for decades after, proving that it only takes one global hit to make a living but maybe three high quailty albums to last as superstars . . . which these dudes didn't quite make.

Rubettes - Sugar Baby Love

A cover of an 1980's soundtrack tune by Giorgio Moroder from the iconic Flashdance movie.

Giogio Moroder - Love Theme From Flashdance

aqui les presento mi buen remix de spandau ballet lo maximo en version rap :)

Spandau Ballet  - True ( Dj Macha Remix )

These tracks were edited using the CVP705 and demonstrate the audio capability of the excellent keyboard. I am hoping that Yamaha will address the major weakness of having very limited free available memory after which I would give the keyboard 10/10. 

Theme - Hawaii 5 0

Theme - Dr Who

Barry White - Let The Music Play (Funkdamento Edit)

I Just Want To Be Your Everything (Funkdamento Remix)

Jeff Wayne - Eve of the War

John Barry - Dances with Wolves End Titile

Developing my multi crunch wah midi skills

Isaac Hayes - Shaft

Lindsey Buckingham - Trouble  (Edit) Remix

True (Spandau Ballet - Tajan Mini Edit)

Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 2,800,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance sonwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!
