Bill Champlin - David Foster - In The Stone

[@janglsel1943]

It was an honor to arrange, play and record the horns for this epic classic.

[@jonathasrodrigues3368]

Jan Glæsel who arreged the backing vocals??? I mean...for whole the álbum. Not just this song. Is amazing.

[@gregstegeman7102]

Great work, man! Love your charts and this whole album!! The horn break toward the end of this is worthy of early Blood Sweat and Tears. Killer!!!

[@peterfriestedt1]

Very proud to be playing guitars on this fantastic version of this song with maestro Bill Champlin on lead vocals!!!

[@artcorvolet]

Who played drums?

[@MillfieldProductions]

I am very proud of playing lead trumpet on this great production. Such a lot of great players - A big pleasure....

[@gregstegeman7102]

You sound great, man! Love the whole album.

[@eddiemerc1986]

They dont make tunes like this anymore. Shame today's so called performers are light years from this quality. Just glad was part of this generation of everlasting talent. You are the man Bill....

[@randallfontana4592]

Epic arrangements - vocals, rhythm, horns (jeezus), EWF-ish guitars - stellar in every way.

[@Skwaidu]

The album was arranged, mixed, mastered and produced in Scandinavia at least, in Finland to be more precise. Mr. Malm who produced and arranged it lives there, as well as mixer Mikko Raita and mastering engineer Svante Forsbäck. :)

[@Waimeafalls]

And I did MISS Bill with Chicago, in Paris, July 4, 2011! So happy - at least - saw him three times with Chicago in Europe! Hoping he, his wife Tamara and hisoh so talented son Will will come to Holland, one day!

[@mikkoraita5933]

This track and album is indeed produced by mr. Tomi Malm. I had the great honour of mixing the whole thing in my room at Studio Kekkonen, Helsinki.

[@peevee605]

No Niin. Kiitos.

[@artcorvolet]

Who played drums?

[@bcookEastTenn]

What a kickin version! I love the new horn feature!

[@roboticrealm]

Fantastic version of this awesome song! Just love the vocals of Frank Ådahl in the chorus! IMHO Frank is one of the best singers from Sweden where I live... The whole album is great by the way!

[@cetera06]

Amazing, no surprise Bill did an awsome work with this!!!!! excellent!

[@JaimeMusicWorld]

This was a song & album made by wonderful arranger and keyboardist Tomi Malm, surrounded by all this monsters session cats. A must have album and the two later "Walking On Air" (2017) and "Coming Home (2020)

[@davestahl6676]

Great song. Great version. Great musicianship. No better or worse than EWF, but different. Bill is such a soulful singer...

[@grahamclews1571]

Awesome song. Love hearing Bill singing this

[@Waimeafalls]

@oyvind1962 YOU'RE SO RIGHT! Thanks for pointing this one out to me. I LOVE Bill. I will miss him in Paris, coming Monday July 4. when i see Chicago again!

[@sama-op7hx]

It sounds so cool and lightly pop that I could listen sitting back and relaxing.

[@bcookEastTenn]

OK, Bill, you, Peter, Jason, and Danny need to go on tour with David! You can call yourselves, "The Foster Kids!!"

[@dongarlock]

The song was written by: Foster, David; White, Maurice; Willis, Allee

[@Skwaidu]

Just to clarify, this album is actually a tribute to mr. Foster, produced by mr. Tomi Malm. And yes, it's very nice.

[@oyvind1962]

Bill singing together with Danish and Swedish musicians. I am Norwegain myself. I thought the Earth, Wind & Fire original version was unbeatable, but it seems as the Scandinavians , together with Bill, has done the impossible!!! Øyvind Sunde, Gjøvik, Norway. (Hii to Bill,...pleas have another concert in Gjøvik!!!)

[@patricklamb]

Love this

[@clifking]

[@tiwiocay]

[@wonkavella]

i love his version i also love ewf's version totally different reasons

[@albertonavarro1080]

Buena version.

[@chackerr]

... when i said Bill Champlin i mean, lead vocal on this song not in all album, if you read the info can see "VARIOUS ARTIST", in the vdeo you can see the lead vocal on each song....

[@headedsomewhere]

I've always loved Bill's music, BUT I am a massive EWF fan

[@70sdiscofunk]

Good... but I'd love to hear the string parts at 1:23, alike EWF version.

[@Tumekera]

But I gotta say.....I do LOVES me some Chicago tho!!!

[@markgreenhouse100]

dream team

[@dongarlock]

Peter Cetera don't sign this song because because no one holds a candle to Bill Champlin.

[@honzinektancisuk20]

Yes

[@春日一心]

この方のIn the stone なかなか見つからない´д` ;

[@chackerr]

thanks for the info =D

[@gleger083]

Kesini gara2 ads brava radio lol

[@pilotwell]

Hahahhaha sama

[@chackerr]

agree =D

[@Bosslady-d2f]

Hard to hear Champlin destroy lyrics like this

[@sergodalakishvili1879]

Not a poor choice BUT... It is pleasant to me in execution with Maurice White (EWF) more

[@ImanuelMarcus]

He wrote the stuff.

[@howianna]

Hey, everyone! Welcome to the treble party!

[@tjrox]

Compression party

[@artcorvolet]

Lol, David Foster 🤔

[@harald144]

Its better than AWESOME!!!

[@hm2154]

後半はフィリップ？

[@henryedwards4116]

yech

[@chackerr]

lol congratz =D

[@artcorvolet]

Man, this is a fantastic arrangement, but atrocious overuse of compression and production! I remember my first compressor unit🤦‍♂️

[@hm2154]

インザストン♪゜・*:.。. .。.:*・♪

[@artcorvolet]

What?

[@Tumekera]

original sounds much better but this is a nice watered down version.

[@chackerr]

lol better?? I guess you are a Earh, Wind and Fire member or somethin :P because the original song isnt better...

[@yulikyagudin4264]

It's so sad to hear a brilliant performance and presumably a good mix totally ruined by awful mastering... there're still some other means of listening to the music than iPhones (((

[@maestrowick]

Horn section is killin. Whoever you are, y'all are amazing. Interesting chord substitutions on outro before the modulation., Instead of Bmaj(Add9) Ebmin7, F#min9, % they did B, Bmaj7,B7, Emin7/B. Nice. Unique take. I will vote on the first one (We ALL know that that is a CLASSIC) but still, good job.
