This is my cover of the Robert Palmer song released in 1980. I've always liked Robert's stuff but I hadn't heard this one until about a month ago, and it spoke to me so strongly I thought I'd give it a try myself. Appreciate any comments, pos or neg.
 

The backing track is great.  Did you do all that?

Great job. Did you do all that? I would try bring in some harmonies if you can. I liked it.

Yes, I did it all. Addictive Drums, Dimension Pro, Rapture. Just the stuff that comes with SONAR. I'm usually big on background vocals, but this time I didn't see a place for them. Thanks, guys!

Great job on this Larry! I vaguely remember the original, but in any case, I like what you did with this. Mix is pretty good as well and has an authentic retro sound.

Nice cover Larry! Your vocal style really suits this piece
 
cheers

I love this, Larry.  If you don't mind me saying so, your voice reminds me of Bowie.  I can't wait to hear it again.

Always loved this song, nice to hear someone covering it. Lead vocal is a little out front for me, and seems to need some backing vocals to support it.

another fan of the original here - good job Larry

Dan - Thanks! Retro is my middle name.
Andy - Glad you spotted a "vocal style," although I don't know what it is.
Lynn - I have always been the go-to singer in cover bands when we did Bowie songs. I guess I see why now. Glad you like the recording.
James - I get it about the vocal being out front. I struggled with it when mixing, especially at the beginning of the song. Maybe I'll remix and pull it back. But I'm curious where you (and others) think background vocals would fit in here. Or is that just everyone's way of saying the lead vocal needs help?
Daryl - Thank you. Have you heard this version? It's haunting.
