February Releases
Our first release for 2025 is a patter track based on the Ivan Jack remix of “Stand By Me.” Both of my classes enjoy line dancing between tips and this piece of line dance music just made me want to move. I finally decided it was time to get into the studio and create a […]
Holiday Release — Mrs. Santa Claus
‘Tis the season for holiday songs and this year I reached back to my childhood. My early memories of Christmas music are simple. A small black & white record player (speaker on the front), and two Christmas albums. Bing Crosby (not the “White Christmas” album), and Nat “King” Cole (not the “Christmas Song” album). Our […]
August Releases – “Shut Up and Kiss Me” and “Everybody Dance Now” patter!
It’s hard to believe that Chic Recordings is NINE years old, but it’s true. August 22nd, 2015 was the date of our inaugural release and we are so happy to still be here nine years later. It’s all thanks to YOU and we appreciate it! Our brand new release is a single key only for […]
March Release – “Love, Love, Love Me Honey Do”
“Love, Love, Love Me Honey Do” is a Patsy Cline song from 1959. I had been looking for another song to feature the musical talents of my talented nephew, Matt Workman, and this was a perfect choice! This instrumental features Matt’s amazing picking on the acoustic guitar and mandolin which never cease to blow my […]
February Release – “I’ll Never Find Another You”
“I’ll Never Find Another You” is a well-known song by Australian group, The Seekers. My favorite description of The Seekers is from Ian McFarlane (an Australian music historian) who described their style as “concentrated on a bright, up-tempo sound, although they were too pop to be considered strictly folk and too folk to be rock.” […]
NOVEMBER Release – “You, Wonderful You”
“You, Wonderful You” was introduced in the 1950 MGM musical “Summer Stock” starring Gene Kelly and Judy Garland. The first time we hear the song in the film it is a beautiful ballad sung to Judy Garland by Gene Kelly. Gene is using the song to help Judy understand the magic of musical theatre. If […]
OCTOBER Release – “Let it Rock (Let it Roll)”
“Let it Rock (Let it Roll)” is a class Chuck Berry song and features his iconic guitar licks and chord progressions. It was released in July of 1959 and climbed the charts until it peaked at #64 in February of 1960. Last March when Mike and Vic were in the studio together to record the […]
September Release “Game of Love” (Extended Patter)
“The Game of Love” is a Santana song from 2002 and has been on our possibles list for a long time. We had been trying to figure out how to make an arrangement work as a singing call and finally realized we were putting it in the wrong bucket. This song is perfect for a […]
AUGUST Release – “Sweet Mary”
This release is a special one because it drops exactly EIGHT YEARS after our first release back on August 22, 2015. Time sure flies when you’re having fun! “Sweet Mary” was written by Steve Jablecki and recorded by his band, Wadsworth Mansion. It was released in early 1971 and quickly climbed the charts, peaking at […]
CALLERLAB Releases – “I Feel Like Dancing” and “I Like to Move It” (Extended Patter)
We were so excited about the CALLERLAB convention this year that we dropped TWO new releases at the convention. First up is an extended patter version of “I Like to Move It.” This song was made famous by the Madagascar movie franchise. I first heard the song playing Dance Dance Revolution with our kids. (I […]
