I know this is a stretch, but any chance anyone here might have a lead sheet or chords to this tune:



From the Rendezvous in Rio CD ...

I love riding with the top down and this CD playing ... pure bliss ...

OK Tony ... I didn't transcribe the entire song, but I knew it sounded like a bunch of descending ii V I progreshions, so I gave it a quick listen and here's the beggining phrases:
Amaj7 Am7 D7
Gmaj7 Gm7 C7
Fmaj7 Fm7 Bb7
Ebmaj7 Ebm7 Ab ... then it hangs on that Ab for a bit.

This will get you started, but I didn't listen that close for inversions and additives etc .... just a stock set of changes for you to experiment with. Have fun!
Some old timers called that sequence "bread & butter" changes. I've also herd them refereed to as "Sears & Roebuck" changes because of their widespread popularity.

Thanks a bunch, UD ... I recognized it as a familiar pattern, but I haven't had the chance to do anything with it ... Since the guitar is so dominant in the tune, I am thinking you figured it out using the guitar? ...
Thanks again ...

Love the song, nice and smooth for the dance crowd. Guess that's just one more I have to learn, now. wink

Cheers,

Gary cool

Tony, my antique Korg i5s was closer to my desk when I was figuring out the song, so I just turned that on. Did you get a chance to finish it?

This song, 'Call Me', has a similar structure. It's been done by lots of artists from Sinatra to the Four Tops to Della Reese, Supremes, Shirley Bassey, Petula Clark, and so on.
