Bruce Springsteen speaks out about Ticketmaster dynamic pricing, which caused some of his tickets to hit $5K. 'I told them, 'Hey, we’re 73 years old. The guys are there. I want to do what everybody else is doing, my peers.' So that’s what happened' MORE:
have sounded like if they had been on them?” I just can’t imagine those records without Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg, but it would have happened.
It started out with me just saying, “I’ve written songs. I’ve made movies. I’m sitting here in the house. I like to record. Let me go record songs that I love and hope to record well.” I told my producer Ron [Aniello], “Ron, I want to make a record where I only sing.” And beside playing a little guitar here and there, and making some keyboards on occasion, I pretty much only sang.
“Do I Love You” I found just looking into Northern Soul compilations, because I knew Northern Soul compilations choose a lot of offbeat rhythm and blues and Motown records. I was looking to make a record that had some classics on it, but also things that people may not have heard so the record sounded fresh to people’s ears. And so I chose [songs like Dobie Gray’s 2001 single] “Soul Days.”
When that works, we put it on the record. When that doesn’t work, it goes to the floor. So “What Becomes of The Brokenhearted,” which was a huge hit a couple of times, but we just had a really good performance of it, went on the record. “I Wish It Would Rain,” you’ve gotta be nuts to try and sing that song after David Ruffin sang it. But I found my own little part of it, and I found my place in it, and it was such a beautiful, beautiful song.
He’s a genius musician. Ron Aniello is a genius musician. He goes totally under the radar. He lives here and works with me. I’m the luckiest guy in the world. I have him and [engineer] Rob Lebret, who is also a local guy. He’s just great at what he does. We got a three-man factory here. We can do just about anything. I have tremendous freedom, because you couldn’t have a band standing around while we go through 30 songs, testing each one to see which one is going to work really well.
Did this project give you an even greater respect for the craftsmanship of these Motown songs? By deconstructing them and re-building them, I’m sure you heard them in a very different way.
