View Full Version : Tribute CD
Prince 07-26-2003, 09:05 AM Just wanted you all to know that Dani and I are still working on the Tribute CD for Freddie...and if everything works out...we have a huge suprise for you all. Just waiting for a couple more songs before I begin putting it all together. I'll keep you posted. This was Dani's brainchild and she has done an excellent job in getting all the songs to me that you have requested. Our hats off to Dani for coming up with such a loving and creative idea.
kriziazafiro 07-26-2003, 11:41 AM Thanks for all the love and dedication creating this wonderful CD.
All the songs will reflect a piece of Freddie's soul.
Luckymama58 07-26-2003, 11:44 AM BTW, Macca, did you get the files I sent you via email for that project??!?!??
Prince 07-26-2003, 12:56 PM No, I didn't get them but will email you the address to send them to. I cannot wait to get this together.
hue_mee 07-26-2003, 05:51 PM I am anxious to hear the final project!!! This is a great idea Macca and Dani !!
I am anxiously waiting too!!!!
Pitooey 07-26-2003, 07:13 PM This is such a nice thing you are doing for Freddie's memory. If he knew you were doing this he would be so touched. :crying:
Danisel331 07-27-2003, 05:20 AM :o:o:oGosh Ms Macca!:o:o:o
I didn't really do anything that anyone here wouldn't have thought of. :D The final project should become everyone's new favorite CD though. At least I hope that everyone will enjoy the CD. I know you will love :eyes: the surprise! :lol:
Prince 08-03-2003, 03:30 AM Just wanted everyone to know that thier "Songs For Freddie" CD will be in the mail by either Monday or Tuesday. Dani and I have worked hard on this project and we hope you all enjoy it very much. Believe me it was a labor of love. Please email us and gives us some feedback once you have it in your hot little hands. A big surprise could be just around the corner. I love being a tease!!!
Thanks to Dani for coming up with such a great idea. She downloaded all the songs and created the great artwork on the front cover. Thanks to Luckymama for submitting such an original piece of work that her and Mariposa composed. You will love it!!! We sure are a creative bunch huh???
Danisel331 08-03-2003, 04:37 AM :happyface: Well as I said, I hope everyone will be happy with the final results. It has been fun working on this. Just wait til you get your surprise though! :D;)
Karen64 08-03-2003, 07:33 AM Wow-that's a really cool idea! Your'e right, JennyLee (Pitooey :)),
Freddie would be touched!!!
I can hardly stand the wai!!!!
hue_mee 08-03-2003, 12:53 PM I'm sooo excited! Is there a packet of instant Freddie on there that we can just place on table and add a little water and..... POOF! Instant Freddie? Wow! Instant Freddie! On the table doin' a little table dance! Yahoo!:dance: :banana: :triplets
Prince 08-03-2003, 08:40 PM Boy are you a dreamer Hue Mee...if only!!! BTW..all the CD's will be going out tomorrow. Finished them tonight. Still have not heard from Jenny Lee or Bella 66 for mailing addresses!! Your CD's are waiting girls!!!
Cheryl Harrell 08-04-2003, 04:40 AM Here's an idea for another CD. Have on it all of Chico & Ed's singing from CATM plus Freddies singing from TONY ORLANDO & DAWN plus Mando playing music with thet Mexican group from the RAUL RUNS AWAY episode along with snippets of jokes from the like LOOKING GOOD, EE'S NOT MY JOB & LITTLE DOG IN THE WINDOW etc. That would be neat! :)
Danisel331 08-04-2003, 04:56 AM :hello
Well ladies I will tell you that Ms Macca and I both have been about to :explode: to get these finished and out to you. We cannot wait for your reactions, so please tell us what you think! :D We do hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoyed making them.:bighug:
Prince 08-04-2003, 06:17 PM Hi,
Just wanted everyone to know that all the CD's were mailed out today....so you best be watching for Mr. Postman. Please let us know when you get it.
ooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I can hardly stand the wait!!!
scott cokeley 08-05-2003, 01:02 AM Can you tell me what songs are on the CD and by whom and also, how do I get a copy? Thanks.......
Prince 08-05-2003, 10:38 PM Hi Scott,
Just email me your mailing address and I will send you the play list on the CD, and if you want a copy, I will be more than happy to send it to you. You can email me at chicoprinze22@hotmail.com
Cheryl Harrell 08-06-2003, 04:04 PM We can't wait either! :)
hue_mee 08-09-2003, 08:37 AM This mornig after my husband left for work. I put the cd on our surround sound system and OMG! When Freddie sang "I've got the music in me" It was so incredible! Thank you ladies from the bottom of my heart for this awesome project!:happyface :loveya: :clap: :dance: :clap
I couldn't agree more it is absolutely awesome. Imagine having Freddie singing on a CD WOW, OH WOW OH WOW!!
And sweet nightmare is a great song ity makes me sad but you can hear the love that L and M have for Freddie in every word!!
Luckymama58 08-09-2003, 10:43 AM I just got my copy yesterday afternoon and haven't had the chance to listen to it all yet, but I want to thank Tani for all of her hard work.
As for Sweet Nightmare, most of the praise goes to Mariposa and her wonderful lyrics. I am not sure I did them justice tho.... :blush: It is a good thing I don't write music for a living, I'd starve! LOL ( Hey kid, don't give up your day job! LOL)
Prince 08-09-2003, 01:24 PM Thanks to everyone. Glad you liked it. Just want everyone to know that this CD was a collaborative effort. Dani found all the tunes on the internet for us and emailed them to me, plus she designed the front cover. I thought it would be a great idea to include Freddie's song, so found someone who knew how to copy from VCR tape onto a CD. That was the big surprise...even though no one really got it!! LOL. So thanks to Dani for the idea to begin with and to all of Freddie's fans for particpating and requesting thier songs. I am still getting requests. Anything to help keep Freddie's memory alive. I think he is smiling!!! Enjoy everyone..and thanks Dani for a great partnership..it was fun.
Cheryl Harrell 08-09-2003, 02:21 PM The mail hasn't come yet to day. Whine, whine... Can't wait till it comes. Thanks for all ya'lls hard work & effort... :)
Prince 08-09-2003, 02:24 PM OMG Cheryl,
I hope you get it today. Please let me know...hope you like it.
hue_mee 08-09-2003, 05:07 PM Whistle while you work was more like singing while I worked. Well, I have put it in my cd player and played it over and over and over as I was on here and cleaning the house. Thank you for making my dull and boring house work more enjoyable! Hee hee!
Danisel331 08-10-2003, 03:32 AM party:
Oh I am so relieved to hear that you have gotten yours and you liked it! We had fun making this cd and we were about to bust to keep the surprise for you! :lol: Thank you all so much for letting us know what you think of it We both appreciate it very much!
:rockon:
Cheryl Harrell 08-10-2003, 04:42 AM All I got yesterday (Sat) was junk mail. Yuck! & I did get 2 ladies large size clothing catalogs which was nice. Mailman owes me on Monday! :)
Prince 08-11-2003, 07:55 PM Cheryl,

Cheryl Harrell 08-12-2003, 03:18 AM Mine never got to me yet. Maybe my mailman opend it up & was playing with it LOL! The mail is slow around here. I bought a couple things of Freddie & something for my dulcimer off of E-Bay & am waiting for them to get here...

Thanks to Dani & Macca for creating this jewel,...
Love all the songs,each one tells a story,...Freddie's!!
Marie & Lore song is a lovely tribute. And the bonus track,...

And the Grammy Goes to:
Prince 08-12-2003, 01:40 PM Ely,
So glad you got it today....horray. Now just to hear from Catcopy and Cheryl..then everyone will have theres. It was a pleasure to do this for Freddie. He will forever be remembered in our hearts. Does he not sing like a dream...ya gotta love it!!!
Thanks for the great idea Dani!!!!!
Luckymama58 08-12-2003, 01:46 PM I had the opportunity to really listen to the CD in the car on my way to school today, and on the way home. I find I can concentrate on the words better in the car for some reason. I found myself really appreciating what Dani and Macca did. Not only did I find myself seeing Freddie in these songs, but the choices spoke of the people who chose them too. It was like I was getting to know each and every one of you a little better and just how you feel about our Prinze. One of the things that struck me about all of the songs is how I could see someone making a video of them with clips of Freddie from the show and other appearances. I definitely could see him in "Boy From NYC" When she describes him, I could see his face and expressions from CATM playing with the words. I found myself doing that with all the other ones too. I only wish I knew how to do that, take the songs and superimpose clips from CATM to go along with the words. There was a lot of love in each of those songs, and I felt it all from all of you as I listened to the songs you all thought reminded you of Freddie. Thanks again, mis amigas, for a wonderful idea. I am sure we could come up with a volume 2 (and more) of these wonderful remembrances of Freddie.
Prince 08-12-2003, 01:48 PM uhmmmmm, Vol 2 - I think I like that idea!!!!
I already have another song picked out for the next volume and Lord knows we can come up with tons more pics for the CD and another cover!!!
Cheryl Harrell 08-12-2003, 03:26 PM I got my Cd today! YAY! I don't hate the mailmain now LOL! Thanks for sending it to me! The artwork is great & I can't wait to listen to it later! Great job! Thanks ya'll! :) :) :) :)
Danisel331 08-12-2003, 10:54 PM Oh Yay!:clap:
I'm so glad that Ms Cheryl and Ms Ely both got their's today! I do hope you enjoy them. ;)
I'm also glad to read that you a chance to listen better, Ms Marie. ;)
Cheryl Harrell 08-13-2003, 12:23 AM Thanks again for the CD! You can tell it was a real labor of love! :)
Karen64 08-13-2003, 09:04 AM The first one where Freddie sings is awesome! Such a sexy sweet voice! And I love the song Marie &Lore did-they really did a good job on it!!!
Hmmmmm, Volume II? :) :) :) :)
I second that Karen! I already have my Freddie song picked out!
catcopy18 08-14-2003, 05:04 PM Thank you so very, very much! What a terrific idea this tribute CD was and every time I listen to a song I feel like I can understand how each of you make a connection with Freddie. Whether it's an upbeat happy tune or a deep-seeded feeling-type song, they all remind us of him in one way or the other. With every song, tv show or story I read, I think of him. He is always on my mind!
Luckymama58 08-14-2003, 07:55 PM I have more picked out too, in fact I had made a CD about a year ago of songs that remind me of Freddie in one way or another. So I have a whole collection of songs! LOL
WE WANT MORE!!!! PLEASE!!!!
Please note if capitol letters mean shouting, it is from pure joy.
Pitooey 10-23-2003, 09:00 PM I just received my BEAUTIFUL Freddie CD.
When I opened it and saw Freddie's pictures I was shaking. Then I listened to it......
Well............ My eyes watered :crying: when I heared the 1st song and realized that it was Freddie himself. That was such a surprise.... I listened to all the songs and loved each one. Every song reminded me of Freddie. At the end was another surprise. Lucky........ You go girl! You and Mariposa...... As for Macca and Dani...... You made a lady here in NYC very happy. :crying:
Thank you............
Cheryl Harrell 10-24-2003, 06:00 AM That was a neat disc, esp Freddie singing. The folks who out it together did a great job & kudos to you. It was very professional looking... :)
Pitooey 10-24-2003, 09:01 AM It did look so professionally done!!! Kudos to Macca and Dani. Even the sound is wonderful. I hear all the guitar strings and instruments......... I'm listening to it right now.
Freddie would be so proud! :thumbsup:
One thing about this CD is that there are songs that I had never heared before so it was a special treat.......
victorianscribe 10-24-2003, 03:21 PM I just received mine yesterday; it is an absolutely beautiful CD, and a very special one. Because I don't get Good Life on my cable system, I was never able to watch any of the TOAD reruns, so the first track was the first time I heard Freddie sing since 1976 (except for "To Be With You", which I just taped a couple of weeks ago). What a terrific experience.
You did a professional job, ladies; kudos to everyone involved, and thank you.
