Описание к видео Angelina Jordan | All of Me (Billie Holiday) | A Virtual Duet

Angelina Jordan is amazing, and an inspiration to many. She inspired me to start to learn the joy of singing, never having done so before the summer of 2023; not to mention stepping outside of comfort zones, including taking on new creative challenges. For some reason, Angelina's July 2022 live performance of All of Me (Billie Holiday version) had me singing along many months ago, which evolved into this attempt at a duet - which isn't based on any known duet of this song. I talked to (and showed some early takes to) a few fellow angels, who encouraged me and who gave some suggestions along the way. I’m also thankful to my son artist/poet/trumpeter/singer John, for his advice, and for showing me how to use his microphone, interface device, and music recording software. I did take one singing lesson last summer from an online vocal coach (thank you Ken Lavigne), otherwise am mainly self-taught. I'm certain some MORE lessons would help....we'll see!

Angelina has said her record label built her a studio; in my case, the Ford Motor company built my studio, since I seem to sing almost exclusively in the car going to and from work. Unlike Angelina, this performance was NOT done after only 1 or 2 takes! Rather, I must have sung and refined this in the car 200 times, if not more, and then recorded a number of takes as I got to the point of using the mic, video camera, etc. This recorded version WAS done in 1 single, final take. And - no autotune or pitch correction was used 😊.
