Howard Fields - Tender Moments

A highlight from Neil Sedaka's "The Hungry Years" was a new version of "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do." His 1962 original, a No. 1 hit single, was an upbeat pop song, while the remake was a slow ballad, based on a similar arrangement by a Lenny Welch 1970 recording. Sedaka's version hit No. 8 on the Hot 100 in early 1976, making him the only artist to ever record entirely reworked and rearranged versions of the same song to both reach the Billboard Top 10. The 1976 ballad version also hit No. 1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart.

Originally written upon learning of the loss of a childhood friend, Craig Bonavita. Subsequently used as the soundtrack to a Paramus High School Class of 1973 25th Reunion memorial video and other high school reunions around the country.

Howard Fields - In Memories

Summer, Highland Falls by Billy Joel is another long sought backing track. Released on the Turnstiles LP in May 1976, this song is arguably the best ballad of Billy's career. The sparse instrumental arrangement showcases lyrics that are as poignant today as they were 36 years ago. I'm thrilled to have finally located the track and delighted to offer you my new recording of this wonderful song.

An original song with the instrumental composed, recorded and produced by Buck Bundage. I added the melody, lyrics and vocals. Dedicated to my son as a reminder that you can do anything when you believe that you can.

Many have asked why I don't cover Beatles songs. Actually, I've recorded a couple but this is the first time I'm posting one on YouTube. And yes, I realize this is a post-Beatles song, but only by a year or so. Enjoy.

It Don't Come Easy, written in 1970 by Ringo Starr and George Harrison, was released as an Apple Records single in April of 1971. The "all star"studio band included George Harrison on guitar, Klaus Voorman on bass guitar, Stephen Stills on piano, Ron Cattermole on saxophone and trumpet, Badfinger members Pete Ham and Tom Evans on background vocals and Ringo on drums and lead vocals. With a lineage like that, the song couldn't miss. It reached #4 on both the US and UK singles charts.

"You and I" is a duet by Eddie Rabbitt and Crystal Gayle that became a major country pop crossover hit for both artists in October of 1982.. The US television program Glee covered this song in a mash-up with the Lady Gaga song of the same name on the series 3 episode "Mash Off". In 2005, the song ranked #7 on CMT's 100 Greatest Duets in Country Music.

If you recall the film Mr. Holland's Opus, or if you sang in a high school choir, you'll understand what this song is about immediately. The film covered the twists and turns in the life of a high school band director, and the huge impact he had on his students. Quite a heartwarming film.

Well, in July of 2002, after 18 months of work locating graduates of Paramus High School who had performed under the direction of Norm Allen from 1959 through 1986, we did something similar. We held a weekend choir reunion at Walt Disney World. Over 150 of his former students showed up, many with their families in tow, to spend time with the man many of us thought was the best teacher we had ever had.

This song was written for and performed at the reunion. I even found a way to add our school alma mater to the end of the song. Just me and my synthesizer on this recording. The song is titled, THE MUSIC'S INSIDE.
