Good topic Jorge!

What are arrangments?

Jorge,

This took me quite awhile, but I guess my favorite songs as far as vocal arrangements would be:

This Masquerade
Goodbye to Love
Don't Cry For Me Argentina
A Place to Hideaway
Song for You
Only Yesterday
Desparado
All You Get From Love is a Love Song


I'm sure there are more as I think of them, but for now , this is my list

What do you mean with arrangement?

Renata,
A vocal arrangment is the way voices and harmonies are layered to create a distinctive sound. Examples would be backround vocals layed in with forfront vocals. An adaptation of a composition for other instruments or voices or for another style of performance. Songs like NOW and LITTLE GIRL BLUE are the best examples I can think of. Also the one song you can hear it the best is CLOSE TO YOU- "Ahahahahah close to you" ya know?!

Ohh yes! I see, thanks KCforeva!! well I can't think in my favorite right now, I'm hurry but I'll post it soon!

Mr. Guder
One Love
A Song For You
Little Girl Blue
Bacharach/David Medley
Only Yesterday
Those Good Old Dreams
I Believe You
Because We Are In Love
Little Altar Boy
If We Try
Another Song
Love Is Surrender
Crescent Noon
Kiss Me The Way You Did Last Night
Get Together
Eve
Now

Right now I can think in

Turn away
Calling occupants
Happy
Another song
Reason to believe
Do you hear what I hear
Now
Among others!

I love em all, but my favorites are:

Bless the Beasts and the Children
For All We Know (played at my wedding)
Masquerade (Her duet with Ella Fitzgerald)
B'wana She No Home
I Won't Last a Day without You
Yesterday Once More

All of her drum playing

I think my favorite has to be "Now". It's so beautiful. It's such a sad song, and considering it's the last song Karen recorded, it's one of my favorites!

Yeah! One love is one of their beautiest songs!!!!

I particularly like the vocal arrangements on the songs where members of the Carpettes or other guest backing singers are featured. Blending their voices with Karen's gives the songs an added something.

My favourites are:

All You Get From Love Is A Love Song &
Touch Me When We're Dancing

and

Kiss Me The Way You Did Last Night (which featured Siedah Garrett, who subsequently had a hit with Michael Jackson on the duet 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You')
