Released 2022

1980's

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

Funkinova

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 classic Kate Bush Track from 1985 recently resurrected by the Netflix series 4 Stranger Things and charting again all around the world in 2022, including her first top ten in the US.

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill

Remixed Midi's on the Yamaha Clavinova CVP705. I do not play them but produce the audio remixes using this great keyboard !

Bruce Hornsby - Thats Just The Way It Is

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Powerof Love

Robert Palmer - Addicted To Love

Bronski Beat - Small Town Boy (Remastered)

Seal - Crazy

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!
