I went to see a friend sing back-up for Susan Anton at the Viper Room. I was dragging my feet because I could not, in my wildest imagination, suppose that Susan Anton would be able to sing a note. Susan and my friend crushed me with their vocal prowess. Who’da thunk?? The only problem was that there was no original material. I asked Ms. Anton if she had songwriters begging her to sing their songs. I couldn’t believe it when she laughed and told me no. Her voice is huge. She could stand and deliver with Tina Turner – big drama in her delivery. I told her that I would write a song just for her and she laughed again and said “OK.” Through my friend, I got her a copy of “It’s A Sign.” I have yet to hear back from her so I recorded it myself. I had to stretch my vocal chords to sing this song. It developed my voice to a wider, more muscular range. I never belted out a song until this one. I figured that Ms. Anton could relate to a love that had gone very bad. The singer has become stronger since the breakup but is still raw from being treated so badly. It’s my Anti-Love song.
