300-Year-Old Ultimate Love Melody Now Has a Pop Lyric for Valentine's Day and the Wedding Season - - - - BROOKFIELD, Vt., Jan. 31 /PRNewswire/ — A haunting 300 year-old melody played traditionally at weddings has now become a love song by Bobby Gosh, ideal for Valentine's Day and the wedding season. Gosh is the composer of the classic Dr. Hook hit love song, "A Little Bit More." Gosh adapted the "Pachelbel's Canon in D" melody to his lyric and recorded "Touch Me Softly" as a duet with Tammy Fletcher, a recent winner of the Apollo Theatre Talent Contest in Harlem. It is featured on his romantic new CD, "Love Stories." "I couldn't sit through another wedding listening to this beautiful melody, without writing a lyric to it," says Gosh. "My intention was to write a love lyric pointed towards a wedding ceremony, which is the culmination of a love affair." The lyric: Touch me softly, leave me never Though Gosh's voice is more like Joe Cocker than Andrea Bocelli, and Fletcher's voice is more like Whitney Houston than Sarah Brightman, their soulful recording of the classic 300-year-old melody might even qualify in the hot new Classical Crossover category. Jim Lowe of The Times Argus (Montpelier, VT) has called the album "straight from the heart," and described "Touch Me Softly" as "unusual and beautiful, with the music adapted from the classical favorite, 'Pachelbel's Canon.'" "I envisioned two people standing together, expressing their love and commitment to each other," says Gosh. "I imagined what would be going on in their minds as they begin to face today's messed-up and unpredictable world, believing that love conquers all." SOURCE Bygosh Music Corporation
