Till I Met You

Post by chriscurtisfan »

My YouTube friend, Bob, uploaded this John McNally composition, which is really pretty. I am trying to figure out who is singing the portion starting at 1:14. I'm stumped.



Thanks for your help! Maybe after I've listened to them for 5 years, I'll be able to identify their chameleon voices individually. Thanks everybody!

Thanks, Sheena!! :D

Another irritating day made into a good day.

It should have been an A side...That was a beautiful John McNally composition. It caught Rick's ear last night -- as I'm playing it as lead song on my YT channel and it plays everytime I go there which is often. What a beautiful production and brilliant example of teamwork :) !

I had no clue John McNally had recorded it! Which is why I posed the question. :shock:

Thank you, Roy! I have heard John singing rarely, and I would love to hear it! :)

As Roy has already said above, there's only a live version of it. Must say he doesn't sound as solid on this one as he does on, say, "Think of my life", more like "sweet and tender", still, when it comes to delivering the emotion, he's perfect. And why not, he's the one who wrote it anyway.
Not the easiest song to sing, i've always had an impression Mike Pender was struggling a bit on this one. Maybe because John wrote it for his own voice, he-he. :twisted:

Wondering why John didnt record it. Chris wrote songs for others to sing
...i.e. I Pretend Im With You... Till I Met You is brilliant both versions!
