In this video, I take on a great Ray Gillen song, from Badlands: "Dreams In The Dark". I hope you like it!
Ray Gillen - Badlands - Dreams In The Dark - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
Let's face it, I'm an old school rock 'n' roll voice guy.
What does that mean?
I don't mean I'm an old school wash up, has-been, irrelevant Rock 'n' Roll voice guy.
I mean that I like the kind of songs where the lead vocal can excite an entire arena all by itself.
And in most of today's singing, this is a lost art (this could probably be said about a lot of different things today).
But wait Ken, aren't you supposed to be talking about Ray Gillen and "Dreams In The Dark"?
Glad you asked!
Yes, that's exactly where I'm heading with this.
Ray was at the tail end of what I felt was the closing of an era.
When I first heard Ray in the Black Sabbath days, I kid you not, I thought they had rehired DIO and somehow DIO obtained a higher vocal range and decided to start listening to a lot of David Coverdale!
(There is a "Black Sabbath - 1986 Gillen Live In Montreal" video floating around on KZfaq, you should check out!)
I was like… Wow!!!
So when I heard him with Jake E. Lee in Badlands singing "Dreams In The Dark", I was certain that this was gonna be the next big Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, or Deep Purple/Rainbow arena band.
As fate would have it, we lost Ray way too early to AIDS.
So I decided to throw my hat in the ring and take on "Dreams In The Dark" myself as a vocal demonstration and a tribute to one of the most iconic post 70's-80's rock vocalists of all time.
I hope I did it some justice.
Ray, you are missed!
