Karaoke Scene's Karaoke Forums :: I need a variety of West Indies CDGs.

I recently received and email from Sound Choice that included a variety of things, but this is what excited me the most.

We do not intend to make the music available to the general public – only to GEM Licensees and Sound Choice Certified hosts.

If there are any “gotta have” songs from the past that have never been released for Karaoke, send us your suggestions, in addition to the songs of today with “staying power” that will still be worth singing 3 years from now.

Any suggestions on what to look for, and what discs to get? I already have SC8500 (which has a mix of Reggae artists), and I have some Marley and Shaggy mixed in on 1 or 2 of my other CDGs. I'd like to get some more, but I don't really know that style of music or the Artists.

I have also been looking for some Caribbean music on CD+G. I've heard a few of Sunfly's arrangements and they are not bad at all for this genre. I especially like their version of "Hot, Hot, Hot" which I believe is entitled "Ole, Ole, Ole". It is very close to the original rendition. The sound choice version is Buster Poindexter's version which is not as good as the Arrows original version. Another decent song from Sunfly that I heard was "Pass the Dutchie". I will have to spend some time researching Sunfly's website to see what what they actually have. I don't believe they have a Caribbean compiliation, but I could be wrong.

I'd ask Barry about looking into the smaller uk karaoke labels closer that's his cup of "tea" he might know these types better.. some of the more obscure things have popped up on them lately..

Basicaly, I think I need some more selections in the styles of Reggae, Calypso, and SoCa. If you know of any specific Songs/Artists, please let me know which CDG/s I might be able to find them on.

Resurrecting an OLD topic. Since Chris Avis brought up a letter from SC about possibly getting back into production, I figured this old topic could be of some use for possible song suggestions. chrisavis wrote: I recently received and email from Sound Choice that included a variety of things, but this is what excited me the most.

I once submitted (about 9 or 10 years ago) a whole bunch of Artists and Song Titles to SC, asking them to consider producing them in CDG format. It was all SoCa music, and I realize it is a limited market. Since SC's website is still down (sort of), their Discussion Forum is not available, and I'm pretty sure that I had posted all of my SoCa suggestions there. I am totally blank on what I had suggested (way back when), and I'm no expert on this subject, but I am checking with some of my "Island" friends for a listing of some popular Artists and Songs to suggest.
