60's Soul Shuffle and Peace Ballad. Do they evoke any covers that you can think of?

I think I'll hold off on these, because they probably won't sound nearly as good on Yamaha's that don't have the T4's choir voices.

At Yamaha Music Soft, if you select an S910 as your keyboard, they still demo the T4 version of the style they're selling so you can't really know exactly what you're getting.

60's Soul Shuffle evokes the song 1,2,3 by Len Barry to my ears.

Good idea to wait Larry until a new MOTL Yamaha S series comes to market then you can probably use all T4 premium styles... meanwhile there is more then enough styles out there to do any song imaginable!

Beaky,

The style Peace Ballad works nice for Imagine, by John Lennon.

Intro II is spot on for it.

The first style "Soul Shuffle" is based exactly on the Jackie Wilson song "Sweetest feeling"

Hope this helps.

Thanks! That song didn't chart very high though. I'm wondering if any of the 60-70 year old seniors would know this one. I listened to it on youtube. It's a nice song.

New styles almost every 3 or 4 weeks, that's a nice pace.

Also, I'm really amazed that in each video Martin Harris is wearing the same PANTS!!! LOL

Either they made and filmed these styles all at once, or for each session Martin put's is "Gig" pants on. LOL
