The Chants

Zoom Zoom
Unknown Lead Singer with The Chants. Could only recover about a minute of this performance. The stereo image created from the mono tape with a Voxengo VST plugin in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
For Your Love For Your Love
Guest lead singer Bobby Colon (I think) sings "For Your Love" with The Chants. Another really damaged tape; this one minute or so was the only salvagable part.
Late At Night Late At Night
Gary's back singing "Late at Night" with the Chants. Jim plays the guitar and uses his newly-learned G augmented chord in place of a G7 chord.
Lonely Way Live Lonely Way Live
Another "live" performance with fans in the audience. The guys really liked to sing this one also. The main guitar is on the original tape, played by Jim. (who does the "Alright" at the end).
Never Never Never Never Never Never
Gary and The Chants kidding around like they were in concert with teenage fans in the audience. But they didn't kid about the performance, which I think is great. Jim does a barely-passable Murray The K impression at the end.
Old MacDonald Old MacDonald
The Chants really liked to sing this song. The original tape includes the drums which, I think, were played by Joe Sofia.
PS I Love You PS I Love You
Gary and The Chants. Can you tell that Gary liked the Beatles?! Can you tell that Jim likes tom-toms?! Some tape degradation issues, but still fully enjoyable.
Remember Then Remember Then
Gary and The Chants singing "Remember Then". If I could remember who was clapping, I'd find them and punch them in the nose! I think this is where the term "blow harmony" originated!
Sentimental Reasons Sentimental Reasons
Another Doo-Wop classic by Gary and The Chants. This tape was so old, you could see through it in spots! But the remastering worked out pretty good, don't you think?
Sunday Kind of Love Sunday Kind of Love
Gary's back singing this Doo-Wop classic with the other Chants. Jim added the church-type organ, drums, bass, and guitar in the June 2009 remastering.
Teardrops Follow Me Teardrops Follow Me
The Chants' lead singer, Gary, was MIA during this recording session. The original 50 year old tape needed hum and pop fixing, as well as some digital splicing to get a full song.
When We Get Married When We Get Married
The Chants performing in Jim's garage back in 1962 (I think) into an EV mike and mono tape recorder. Lead singer (? Guess Gary was busy elsewhere!) Original tape needed a lot of repair!
Who Do You Love Who Do You Love
Gary singing lead from the early 1960's. Remastered from tape June 2009 with Jim playing drums, guitar, and bass.
Wonderful Girl Wonderful Girl
Circa-1962 performance of The Chants with Gary singing lead. Re-mastered from tape in June 2009 with instruments added (and a lot of hum and pop cleanup!)
