NEW RELEASES
November Release!! CHIC-082 - Crying in the Rain
“Crying in the Rain” was composed by Carole King with lyrics by Howard Greenfield. Interesting trivia that this was the only song written by them together. Both were in other writing duos working for Aldon Music and “on a whim” they all decided to switch writing partners for the day. It was originally recorded and released in 1962 by The Everly Brothers. Our arrangement was inspired by the Art Garfunkel/James Taylor duet released in 1993.
Each song package includes four instrumental tracks, music with or without the background vocals (BGV) and each of those with and without the melody line. "NM" in a file name indicates "no melody." You will also receive the sample vocal track and cue sheets in multiple file formats.
Dual Key Option - If you are not sure which key works best for you, we have a package deal to purchase both keys at a reduced price.

September Release!! CHIC-081 - I Can See Clearly Now
September brings us a hopeful tune with "I Can See Clearly Now."
“I Can See Clearly Now” was written and first recorded by Johnny Nash with a June 1972 release. After making modest chart advances for a month, the single unexpectedly took only two weeks to vault from No. 20, to No. 5, to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, remaining at the top of that chart for four weeks. Our version was inspired by the 2009 cover from Karen Peck and New River.
Each song package includes four instrumental tracks, music with or without the background vocals (BGV) and each of those with and without the melody line. "NM" in a file name indicates "no melody." You will also receive the sample vocal track and cue sheets in multiple file formats.

Anniversary Release!! CHIC-080 - It's a Miracle
For our seventh anniversary, we bring you Barry Manilow's "It's a Miracle."
Straight out of Wikipedia – “’It's a Miracle’ is a 1975 single by Barry Manilow and was the second release from his album, Barry Manilow II. "It's a Miracle" went to number twelve on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and was Manilow's second number one on the U.S. Easy Listening chart, spending one week at number one in April 1975. The single also peaked at number fifteen on the disco/dance chart, and was the first of four entries on the chart. Cash Box said that it's "an up-tempo, rocking tune with a great dance rhythm.” "It's a Miracle" is traditionally the first song played at Barry Manilow concerts.”
Each song package includes four instrumental tracks, music with or without the background vocals (BGV) and each of those with and without the melody line. "NM" in a file name indicates "no melody." You will also receive the sample vocal track and cue sheets in multiple file formats.

SPECIAL COLLABORATIVE RELEASE WITH RHYTHM RECORDS!!
RRC-1002 - Deep Purple
"Deep Purple" is a new collaborative release from Rhythm Records and Chic Recordings, featuring producers Wade Driver and Shauna Kaaria on the vocal track for this new duet.
The music for “Deep Purple” was written by Peter DeRose and published as a piano composition in 1933. Sheet music sales made the song so popular that Mitchell Parish added lyrics in 1938.
One of the most popular releases of the song (and our inspiration) was recorded in 1963 by brother and sister duo, Nino Temple and April Stevens. This version won the grammy for "Best Rock and Roll Record."
When you purchase this package, you will receive the vocal track and eight additional tracks that will allow you to duet with either Wade or Shauna, or music only to sing alone with another caller. Each option comes with or without the melody line.
This is the second duet collaboration between Rhythm Records and Chic Recordings. The first, RRC 1001 – Let it Be Me, was produced by Wade Driver and released in April of 2019. You can preview and purchase that release at www.rhythmrecords.biz.
RRC 1002 - Deep Purple (Duet) $10.00
