name of Shadows' number?

Postby negninegaw » 20 Jun 2012, 20:43

I cannot remember the name of a Shadows number on one of the early Lp's.
It is in B minor and the bass plays goes down gradually with a low string guitar as second voice in 3rds.
The melody is playing around one note, F sharp at first an then goes up to the climaxing chords: Bm, G, E, several times.
it is in medium relaxed swing tempo.
Anyone?

Or maybe it was one note up, in Cm, with Cm Bflat, G as chorus ? I think so.

Big B, from the "Dance With The Shadows" album?

Thanks. No it isn't Big B. But I am sorry, I had a sloppy approach.
The number is indeed in Cm, and the chorus chords are: Cm, Gsharp, F,
which is very tyical; then a G chord which leads back to Cm.
As I said, the simple melody is accompanied by a descending bass line,
combined with parallel thirds played on the low strings of an electric guitar.

Perhaps it would be easier to listen to the tracks to find it - put a bit of time in . . . . . . . :?

I did search and continue to do so.
There are many people putting their Shadows' songs on Youtube, but apparently this one is too obscure...
It is however a number from a sixties LP; I seem to remember the song has the sound of a Burns guitar.
Is there a list of all Shadows numbers, so I might recognize a name?
I also found the Wikipedia article Shadow Music, to no avail.

I don't think you could realistically describe Fandango as being in a relaxed medium swing tempo...

Thanks for the help.
It is in 4/4 with a jazzy swing feel...
So indeed not Fandango.
Thanks for the complete list of shadows tunes.
I have gone through it once, nothing rang a bell yet.
