Prominent Lori vocals?

Josh2003 · #1 09-30-2011, 02:58 PM

It seems to me that on most of Stevie's songs, I can very, very easily hear Sharon's vocals standing out (maybe that's just because she sings the higher part), but I can't think of any time that Lori's part stands out (obviously the "Nightbird" Solid Gold clip is the exception).

Does anyone have any examples of Lori's vocals standing out?

The only part that I think maybe could be Lori is in "You May Be the One," on the "flying across the ocean" line. It sounds like it could be her, but I also sometimes listen and think it's Sharon. WHO IS SINGING THAT PART??

Nightbird. Listen to the Solid Gold version.

Are you being sarcastic, or did you not read my post? I'm hoping its the former.

I honestly think Sharon is the stronger of the two vocalists... which is why you never hear Lori.

Just a guess...

As far as "You May Be the One"... it sounds like two voices there, it might be Sharon and Lori.

I wonder why they never got to record a solo record.I would love to hear them sing solo.

I'm thinking after all these years they've been fine and content just standing in the shadows and being background vocalists for Stevie. You have to want it bad enough to get out front and do what Stevie's always done as a solo artist and with Mac.

I don't know how to explain this but I did not see that part you wrote about Solid Gold when I first read this. How strange. Strange indeed. I agree with you though. It is hard to hear Lori. What about the video version of Doing The Best I Can. Can you hear Lori clearly there?

I mean, I can hear her on things like that...I just mean in studio recordings, it sounds like thye always showcase Sharon...or she's the only one I can pinpoint...I can't tell which. I can point to numerous songs where Sharon is featured, but not one where Lori is featured or stands out.

What were they supposed to do? Piss her off to the point where she would fire them?

not particularly prominent, but you can certainly hear her vocals clearly:

I think that's a fair enough comment from an outside perspective but surely addiction is almost always a gradual process, which is what makes it so dangerous. If people just rocked up at breakfast one morning looking like that, everyone would go 'Whoa, what happened to you!' But it takes years, and when you're close with someone, you don't always see the tipping point so clearly. Like when your lover gains weight or loses their hair, it happens slowly and you still love them even though other people meeting you both for the first time might wonder why you're with them.

I'm sure they DID see it....but what they did DO about it is something else..... I think the answer is right there in the beginning of the video clip, where in the interview she says she's sick and tired of people giving her their opinions of her life and how she's living it and basically the song is her telling people to either "give me a break or get off my back" and "let me live my life and make my own decisions". I think they were well aware that she was not open to inputs from anyone else at that point and would have to reach her own conclusions.... like watching an impending car crash, but they weren't at the wheel.....

And I think Sharon and Lori might have been going through some crazy things in their own lives. Not necessarily substance abuse, but relationship issues that probably didn't make them the best rescuer for anyone.

I do agree.If they did went on their own.Stevie would be afraid to lose them.I dont want that to happen.
