@gevonovich - Heather, these vocals are sweet as honey! Works perfectly! Published. The collab (originally Frank's) has a BVs part. You're more than welcome to do them or we may just leave them empty. Let me know what you think.

I just added a piano track. Let me know if you think it needs tweaking. I'll start to learn the organ part next.

FYI, I added a 16:9 version of the BT in Track 1 to fix the aspect ratio issue caused by the previous BT (now in Track 2), Both BTs will be removed as soon as we get the vocals and organ parts. I know there's sax but given our shortage of talent for it, I'll see what the organ could do to cover some of it. This way, the collab won't sit here for another few years. :-)

Gevonovich - Would you do the vocals? I think that Steve Winwood's range is high enough for a woman. I also checked the lyrics and they seem to fit any gender.

@Heather Diaz: Invitation sent. I let you decide if you want to do the BVs too. Of course, we'd love for you to do them too. On my end, I probably do 2 tracks (organ and piano).
