Natalie Cole

L-O-V-E

This chart is an adaptation Natalie Cole's L-O-V-E (L is for the way you look at me . . .) which sticks very closely to her version. It is a medium / up tempo swing chart, opening in the key of G with rhythm and vocal, the Trombones then join, with a muted Trumpet adding little fills, then onto a muted Trumpet solo chorus backed by Saxes and Trombones. A quick modulation to Ab brings the vocal back in, with the whole band backing and the chart builds and builds to a rousing climax. Natalies' vocal line in the Ab section is her interpretation of the melody, and rises to F with a final high Ab flourish. If your vocalist chooses to stay with the original vocal line, she will only need to reach C, giving the chart a 1 octave vocal range. There are no sax doubles.
