Hi All,
I love that at 3:13 on this song, you hear Karen's backing vocals going...."agaaaiiiinnn"...it sounds cool to hear how her voice flows like that. Just perfection. This is from the LOVELINES album. I wish we could know how this song was recorded, and how many vocal overdubs and the lyrics to the entire song, lead and background vocals...

I especially love the left and right speaker trade offs on the backing vocals a really cool effect. The vocal work really makes this song come to life... Bravo! Karen Bravo!  |

Hey Cam! I also love If I Had You
and like you, I am so intrigued
by the complex backing vocals on
If I Had You and all of the other
great solo songs. Phil Ramone has
a web site and I Emailed him to
tell him how much I love the solo
work and asked if he could tell me
how these vocal tracks are produced
but he didn't write back.
Recently I found a collection of
carpenters hits that contain a note
by note transcription of the vocal
harmonies exactly the way they were
recorded. My work station has a
collection of vocal sounds, doo,
ahh,daa,ooh,Mmm and I can modify
them! So I have been having a great
time recreating them. I wish I had
a way to modify them to match the
tone and resonance of Karen and Richards voice.
