This is required for the 2nd Dance for a wedding at end of May.
Its on youtube;

Can't find it on iTunes, Tesco, 7Digital so far...

Have emailed Bride to be, as she said she got it from iTunes..

I think the original artist is Ray Allaire, but she wants the Marc Cohn version (he of Walking in Memthis tunage)

Any pointers welcome!

Cheers,
Jason

Unless it's on a compilation somewhere I wonder if the bride is mistaken.

It's not on any of his albums or the EP he did.

Thanks Steve - that's what I'm finding.

Awaiting info from my client - perhaps she's got the artist wrong! Searching Ray Allaire and the song title on YouTube shows my link above is actually by Ray Allaire...

Anyway, I've sent her the link. I've got a few months, but just tidying up paperwork from Sundays meeting and thought it would be an easy grab!

I'll update... its not my kind of song at all... but I'm sure someone else will be asked for it...

There seems to be plenty of search results for lyrics and other people who mention it so it suggests he did cover this song but I can't find the mp3 anywhere. Sorry mate.

Always like a good hunt so I too had a good look through and failed.

All I can say is there is no way that is Marc Cohn singing that song on the YouTube link you gave.

That particular track is straight off the Mikki Viereck single

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Song-My-Daughter-C...1628&sr=8-4

The voice is identical

Good luck

Thanks guys,
The client has offered to send me the song- if I can get her to confirm the youtube version is correct, I can now source it off amazon (as MP3 download).

Teez, thanks for hunting - you are right!


The 1st dance is "amazed" by lonestar, nice and easy!

Thanks to those that PMed me too!

Cheers,
Jason

The marc cohn link had no content.

Guys,
just had an email from my client;


This was a big help :-) (thanks!) in getting the right version in from Amazon.

It should also be a reminder that some areas of the forum are very visible- hence the reason for the non publicly-visible areas.

Thanks to everyone who helped, we all got there in the end!

I have found almost every song i have been asked for that i didn't already have for weddings to be a very useful song in my collection and i use them as suggestions at other consultations.

a Song For My Daughter is a lovely song lyrically and one that i am sure you will use again

I was asked for food glorious food by the cast of oliver to be played during the buffet by a guest on the night on Saturday ..i didn't have it..I have now ...and after listening to the beginning of the song I'm glad i didn't!
