Pearl’s A Singer – Elkie Brooks (bass)
About the song
Pearl’s a Singer was a top ten hit in the UK for Elkie Brooks in 1977. It was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller together with Ralph Dino and John Sembello. The song tells the story of a singer in a bar who dreamed of being a star. A smooth and soulful song from the late seventies.
My Notes:
In this song the bass sets the rhythm, the melody and the swing. Between the bass tones the hi-hat fills the gap.
The drummer has a boring part. There is no song without the bass…
The outro starts with the Elvis Presley, Burning Love intro. Just a detail.
So grab your bass and play along.
Sidenote:
I try to find recognizable easy to play songs for Bass on Rocksmith 2014. I don’t do extra practice for recording, so there will be mistakes. I changed the setup so the G string (orange) is on top and the E string is at the bottom, because I played TABS for guitar before. All songs are in the key of E standard. I like to thank all the creators of the custom DLC’s.
