99 Red Balloons is a 1983 song from the German rock band Nena, but the lady in the group is really Nena, so they are here in this section of the website.
The song was recorded in both German and then in English, but audiences seemed to prefer the German version. The song was kept out of the #1 spot in the US by Jump from Van Halen. The song was a #1 in many European countries.
It's My Party was released in 1965 and was a huge hit for Leslie Gore. My vocal range is on the low end here. This was the first hit song for producer Quincy Jones.
The song hails from the album "I'll Cry If I Want To".
Drop D Tuning = No
Capo = No
Rhythm = root down up down up and repeat with a few a chops and downstrokes thrown in
Son Of A Preacher Man was offered to Aretha Franklin but she passed over this song when it was pitched to her, so Dusty Springfield picked this one up. Later Aretha went back and did record the song.
The track is off of her 1968 album "Dusty In Memphis".
Drop D Tuning = No
Capo = No
Rhythm = You could play down down up with a chop but I'm using a shuffle in here as well as you'll see
