awwwwwwwwwwww that is so hard Hikoi..lol..
'sitting in the dock of the bay' otis redding
I will have to think of some other songs..but great thread

Hi Hikoi,

I wasn't sure if I should of put the song choice on this thread or the gospel market thread.

1. Change is Gonna come by Sam Cooke ( R & B singer/songwriter)

Luther Vandross sung this and it really showcased his voice - light and shade, loud and soft, and the quality and timbre of his voice.It is on Youtube under "Luther Vandross sings in Church - Change is Gonna Come" if you don't know the song

Stan could really do justice to this song, in his own style,and the lyrics are very him.

Hey Gissie,
yeah, love this song and love luther!
Its a real classic, its so full of meaning and emotion, Stan will
relate so much to it due to his past. Its powerful, and yeah, you're right, its an iconic gospel type song.

Hey gissy and Hikoi cuzzies

Id be happy with stan singing any of Luthers Songs...since he interprets them so well and him being a huge fan of Luther and the old skool soundz...hed definitely do any of L justice. Something to dance to like perhaps 'Never too much'. But always love me the slow jams like 'If only for one nite' and 'Dont you know that'...mmm wud be SWEET az.

Oh but i would love to hear "Suddenly' Billy Ocean...I just love RnB...Stan wud kill ...and id faint!

Kiwiana xo
STANds by her STAN

hey kiwibananarama! great to see u here!

I reckon Stan will conquer Gospel the way he has conquered all the other styles he sang on Idol. He learnt so much from his mentors! I think he just needs to find a gospel mentor who he can learn and master the fundamentals from,then put the "Stan" spin on it for the audience he wants to target! Who're the names in the gospel business? Has to be Sony of course!

Hey Hikoi cuz
Call me Kiwiana buddy....names too long ae..lol

mmmm....gospel....yep yep....you know i posted on A.I forum a song that needed a gospel feel with Stan in mind and a backing choir....what the hell was it? ummmmm...shoot It'll come to me cuz...its late afternoon here and my brain is mush at the mo.

People in the gospel business? and Sony?...nope cant think of any...I'll have to ask hubby...hes a muso...not famous...and jealous of Stan...haha....but he might know.

Sorry i wasnt much help...I'll get back. Actually do you think he really needs a gospel-mentor...hes pretty clued up you know...watch a few faves on youtube always helps. We agree he can conquer any style...hes so amazing. Wonder what he'll sing on Saturday? I'll be in touch cuz!! xo

Hi guys,

Sam Cooke was a gospel singer with the Soul Stirrers before he went to R & B.

Yeah I would love to hear him sing A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke as well. Love that song & Stan's got an awsome voice! Ooooo I'd love to hear him sing some Christmas songs too. I love listening to Christmas songs when its nearly Christmas & I would so totally buy his Christmas Album.

songs for Stan...woohoo - good topic. here we go:

1) Cant We Try - Teddy Pendergrass
2) Aint No Sunshine; Lean on Me - Bill Withers
3) Unchained Melody - Righteous Bros
4) Only You - The Platters
5) If Only For One Night - Luther Vandross

and two out of left-field

1) You don't have to say you love me - Dusty Springfield
2) Tell Laura I love her - Creation

:))

..oh yes rawinia.. I love ur song selection..imparticular my favs from ur list:
1. Aint no sunshine/ lean on me - Bill Withers
2. Tell Laura I love her - Creation (wow..interesting!)

Having been reduced to a bawling mess over the last couple of days with the death of Teddy Pendergrass, I'd have to add 'Love T.K.O' to the list of great songs in this thread. It's one of my favourite songs of all time and Stan would nail it.
