Recording information by PCSongmanGOLD

Now all I need is a female vocalist to join me! If you need to hear the original vocal please contact me via PMail.

Here are links to the wonderful women who I wish to thank for their completed duets...

with Reginakarma
with missmitch
with Nightkatt

I have previously mentioned that Dean Friedman was a childhood friend of mine and so, it was only a matter of time before I put this duet up. He and I still touch base every couple of years and he still tours the UK each summer. You can find more info about him at his website DeanFriedman.com.

*Artist Trivia
Dean Friedman (born 1955, New Jersey) is an American singer-songwriter who plays piano, keyboard, guitar and other instruments, including the harmonica.

Raised in Paramus, New Jersey, Dean Friedman received his first guitar when he was 9, in 1964, and started writing songs. When he was a teenager, he played weddings and bar mitzvahs as part of Marsha and the Self-Portraits, sent out demos and majored in music at City College of New York where one of his teachers was guitarist David Bromberg. By the time he was 20, in 1975, he had a manager and a recording contract with Cashman and West's Lifesong label.

In the USA he is described as a one-hit wonder, following his 1977 hit song "Ariel", which reached # 26 on the Billboard national pop charts and stayed in the charts for eight weeks. "Ariel" is a "quirkily irresistible and uncategorizable pop song about a free spirited, music loving, vegetarian Jewish girl", from Paramus, New Jersey, where he grew up. It is the only Billboard top 40 song to contain the word Paramus. It describes the girl Ariel, "standing by the [since dismantled] waterfalls at Paramus Park", one of the many shopping malls in Paramus.

Although "Ariel" did not make the UK charts, "Lucky Stars", a duet with Denise Marsa taken from his second album "Well, Well", Said The Rocking Chair, made # 3 in the UK in late 1978, and both "Woman of Mine" and "Lydia" were lesser chart hits there.

Unlike many one-hit-wonders, Friedman has continued to write and perform songs into the 2000s.
