Members of Foxes and Fossils cover: "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" by Todd Rundgren

[@Rick-m3c]

If Todd heard this there is no way he didn't shed a tear or two. Fantastic!

[@jefferypadgett334]

Chase's voice is like a finely tuned machine: when she sings it seems so effortless, but her vocals show restraint and nuance. The vocal "machine" is just purring. She's even singing sitting down! She could probably do it just as well standing on her head. F & F are lucky to have three vocalists of the caliber of Chase, Sammie, and Maggie. They each bring a distinct vocal talent to the group, not to mention the harmonies from the Fossils. When all meshes together vocally like their cover of "Telling Me Lies", it literally makes my spine tingle. Thank you all so much for sharing the joy and inspiration of your musical talents!

[@jaybee5983]

I totally give it up for the ladies, they kill every song! But after reading through SO many comments here, I have to give a small reminder shout out that TIM was singing wonderful harmonies on this.. as well as top notch keyboard! I'm sure no one missed that, Tim... And you do make it so easy to overlook your leadership and contributions, lol... But great job!! Hats off!! 😊

[@johnfay5399]

Your comment was everything I was thinking! Pure as silk

[@jefferypadgett334]

@@jaybee5983 I DID give Tim and the Fossils credit for harmonizing!!

[@DavidD-qr2vn]

Lets remember there are at least 5 vocalists in this group. Darwin and Tim can hold their own with anyone.

[@jefferypadgett334]

@@DavidD-qr2vn There are. But the ladies are the main vocalists for the group, maybe because they don't play instruments!

[@brucemattson9528]

The most professional group of “amateur” musicians I have ever heard. One of the wonders of the internet is that it allows us to find so much talent out there that otherwise may never have been recognized by most of us. Thank you!

You need to check out the Lexington Lab band. This group here is ok but Lab is very professional. Check it out.

[@roubiac9969]

"We Gotta Get You a Woman," "Love is the Answer," and now, "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference." Wow, you guys really do such a great job with these Todd Rundgren gems. All have great vocal harmonies, and Chase nails the lead on this one! Beautiful!

Such a beautiful and faithful rendition to the great Todd R

Totally agree 👍 As a Todd Rundgren fan, I vote for more Todd please. "Hello it's Me", "Saw the Light", "Can We Still Be Friends " ...lots to choose from.

[@mikesnowden1]

Keep the Todd coming. Love to hear Wailing Wall or Cold Morning Light. You guys crush ballads.

By far the best version of this classic Laura Nyro influenced Rundgren tune.

Chase, your voice is absolutely beautiful! It's like velvet, so soft and smooth but strong and powerful. F&F always delivers! Wow! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful gift to the world this voice and choices of music.

[@pocopico7409]

I used to listen to this song on Todd Rundgren‘s “Something/Anything” album when I went off to college in 1972. I can’t believe it’s been 50 years! Sounds as good now as it did then. Beautiful song and well done!

[@brucehart1617]

Same age! I listened to S/A during '72-'73 too!

[@TimeWarpLady]

Yes! I went off to college in 1972, too. I hadn't even heard of Todd Rundgren! This song seeped through the cinder-block wall from the stereo next door. Now 50 years later, it makes me very nostalgic. Chase's voice is soulful and expressive, appropriate for this kind of lost-love ballad. < sigh >

[@judyboyle9232]

Me, too!!!

[@pocopico7409]

I’m sure we all look as good now as we did back then, too! 😏😂

Wow. Once again this group is beyond wonderful. I've been following this group for many years now. Chase just gets better and better. I see and hear her age like fine wine. Chase has developed into a beautiful, talented singer who has become a gorgeous, beautiful, and sexy young woman. I still hope to see these guys perform live, someday, near Colorado.

[@rodneyjohnston2217]

Jesus, her deep female voice, pitch, turns, emotion etc may be best since Karen Carpenter. I’ve been playing in cover bands, jazz groups, rock you name it at 62, I truly love this group. Music selection is just , for me, the absolute best. Thank you for these posts whenever you are in North Alabama or around Nashville I’d love to hear you. If you are familiar with Jimmy Fortune I compare harmonies to his touring group. Not in style just in the quality level. Listening to her sing reminds why i Fell in love with music and why I’ve been playing so long. Fantastic!!!! Great genetic blend haha nothing like a family group. Great pickers too!!

[@rodneyjohnston2217]

I would in no way diminish Tim’s voice and especially his overall skill musically and as a producer, studio guy. Plus a silky high voice great guitarist keyboard etc but this young lady’s voice had a timbre and tone that is definitely next level to me. I know she carried those low harmonies with other girls too. To do crisp in pitch turns as well as wonderful word projection without sounding forced. I truly would rather listen to her and this group for that matter by a mile than most modern music. There are lots of talented well produced folks that I love most because they are very original and write their own music. It’s rare that I like a cover group or singer of any kind. Linda Ronstadt comes to mind as far as taking someone else’s song and actually making it better. I’m just glad F and F are out singing playing really quality music. I’ve also always liked Todd Rungren too. Thank you.

Chase, in particular, has serious power behind that beautiful voice. More 70s stuff! Love it.
