Default Helplessly Hoping (Crosby, Stills & Nash)
Hi folks, this is a collaboration with a wonderful artist from England, the super talented singer Alex B. Together we recorded a new version of the song "Helplessly Hoping", which was written and published in 1969 by Crosby, Stills & Nash. I love this song. I am really honored to be able to present this cover to you today and hope you enjoy listening to it!



Have a good weekend, Jimmy

Very nice Jimmy!

I am very familiar with that CS&N song, as I worked on it myself. Vocally, it's quite a challenge! Sounds great!

Very well done! Those harmonies are not easy, especially Nash's!

Thanks Steve. No - not easy. But Alex nailed that tune with his voice. I'm really proud to work with him. He's a great musician.

Many greetings, Jimmy

That was just beautiful. The human voice in musical harmony is a wonder to hear.
