A-List Film/TV Licensing Company needs COVER VERSIONS of HIT SONGS of the 1970's. We recently ran a similar listing for this company looking for songs from the '60s, and they were so impressed that they can't wait to hear more! They need great sounding, creative covers of almost any big song you can think of from the ‘70s. Your cover versions can be done in ANY STYLE/GENRE that’s Film/TV/Commercial friendly! Your COVERS can range from stripped-down acoustic interpretations to full productions, and anything in between. The sky's the limit for this pitch. You can give us a straight sound-a-like version in the spirit of the original song, OR you can get creative and give them a fresh new take of the tune you’ve picked. You’d be smart to stick to the original lyric and melody so the song is instantly recognizable even though you've given it a your own stylisitc spin. Note: Do NOT send in any Beatles, Lennon/McCartney, Neil Young, or Van Morrison songs, as they are rarely licensed. Vocal and instrumental performances need to be really strong. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). Vocals that have a unique quality or texture will probably work best. This is a great company with decades of experience, and a contact list that would make anyone drool with envy. They'll be pitching these new versions to Music Supervisors working on big film and TV shows, and also to top Ad Agencies for commercial use. They offer a Non-Exclusive, 50/50 deal on the Master Recording only. For example: if they license one of your cover song masters for $15,000 to an Ad Agency, you’ll get $7,500. The song’s publisher will do its own deal, and get all the income from that portion of the deal. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques. Please submit one-to-three songs online or per CD no later than Tuesday, October 29th, 2013 at NOON (PDT).
