By our Vocalist, George Gibson
On average, I will perform one or
two songs per ten-song set, which, when combined with great
dance music, is a good mix that will really enhance your
reception.
Some songs are better suited for
dinner while others are great for fast or slow dances. I find
that the best way to start the dancing is to invite all the
couples on the dance floor, whereupon I open by singing a love
song. I’ll pick it up by playing/singing some familiar oldies
and dance songs so that all your guests can get involved, then I
work from there, paying special attention to your song list and
your guest requests.
My repertoire expands all the
time too, mainly due to new requests. I probably left quite off
a few songs from the list that I have performed before, so if
there are any songs that you would like me to sing that you
don’t see on the list, just mention them, and I will let you
know if can do them or not.
I’ll give you a general idea of
some of the material I perform and when I perform it. I don’t
generally sing during cocktail hour since I am organizing
things. During dinner, I sing a lot of the standards, songs by
Frank Sinatra (Summer Wind, The Way You Look Tonight), Harry
Connick Jr. (It Had To Be You), Nat King Cole (L-O-V-E), or Mack
The Knife, etc. I'll mix in a slow one or two (You’ve Got a
Friend, To Make You Feel My Love, Beautiful In My Eyes),
gradually progressing to more slightly up-tempo songs such as
Margaritaville, Can’t Take My Eyes off of You which I mix in
with original artists …some Motown and oldies, contemporary
easy listening and of course your list.
Although I can sing a variety of
styles, there are certain types of songs I don’t generally
sing, such as club dance songs and songs that are above my
range. Looking over the list I have provided, you should get a
pretty good idea of what types I do sing, but don’t hesitate
to inquire about any song you may want performed. I just may be
able to do it.
I start the dancing off by
inviting all the couples on to the dance floor, and I open by
performing a slow song, which gets people on the floor,
especially the guys. Early on, I’ll play and sing some
familiar songs that everyone knows. I have found that starting
off this way is not only considerate to your guests (whose ages
will range greatly), but is also a great way to fill a dance
floor, especially since people are a little reluctant to
initially get out and dance to songs they don’t know. As the
evening wears on, I am able to mix in more contemporary songs by
reading the crowd and seeing what works.
