Name that tune
« on: September 19, 2009, 04:13:57 PM »
A friend of mine sent me this clip over 10 years ago. I have never been able to identify it. If you can, you'd be my hero. The electric violin at the end makes me think it might be Jean-Luc Ponty, but the whole song is too R&B to be him IMO.

This may be totally incorrect, but Shazam on my phone thinks it's Noel's Song, by Noel Pointer. Album: Never Lose Your Heart... Genre: Jazz. Based solely on seconds 2-12.

OMG, that's it! Thanks!! Sucks that you can't get Shazam unless you have an iPhone or Blackberry. I'd love to run the clips on my name that tune page. In particular,
this song
and
this song
.

I use Tunatic. Problem with Tunatic is that you can add songs in the database so it can be ID'd via Tunalyzer but you need a Mac for that. Otherwise, I'd be ready to add hundreds of songs to the database making TWC songs easily identifiable.

Both of those songs are unidentifyable by Shazam. Probably because the songs probably have words and Shazam doesn't know of the instrumental version.

Did you try just playing an instrumental part?

That's what I was thinking. I played an instrumental of One step at a Time by Jordin Sparks to test on tunatic and it ID'd the beginning part of the instrumental but not the main part where the vocals would be in.

I've tried each 10 second interval and unidentifyable... the whole thing.
