The British group Steps have recorded songs for six studio albums (including a Christmas album), two greatest hits and a tribute album. The band formed in 1997 after responding to an advert in the magazine The Stage, which asked for people to audition for a place in a pop band. Out of the thousands who applied, Lee Latchford-Evans, Lisa Scott-Lee, Faye Tozer, Claire Richards, and Ian "H" Watkins were successful in securing a place.[1] The techno-pop song "5,6,7,8" was released as their debut single in 1997 and was followed by their debut album Step One the following year.[2] "5,6,7,8" has been noted for being distinctly different from their subsequent releases due to its novelty line-dancing style and male lead vocals, whereas their songs thereafter are mostly sung by Richards.[2]
Their songs and musical style have often been compared to ABBA, with tracks such as "After the Love Has Gone" and "One for Sorrow" being so likened.[3][4][5] The band members have occasionally co-written some of their songs, with all of them receiving songwriting credits for "Only in My Dreams" from their first greatest hits album, Gold: Greatest Hits (2001), while a large number of songs were written by Karl Twigg, Mark Topham, Andrew Frampton, and Pete Waterman.[6] The group achieved thirteen consecutive top-five singles in the United Kingdom, including "Better Best Forgotten", "Say You'll Be Mine", "Deeper Shade of Blue", "It's the Way You Make Me Feel", and one of their two number-ones, "Stomp".[7]

The group have covered a variety of well-known songs throughout their career, including their first number-one song "Tragedy" by the Bee Gees,[2] "Chain Reaction" by Diana Ross, "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby" by The Temptations, and "Better the Devil You Know" by Kylie Minogue. In 1999, Steps recorded their own versions of "I Know Him So Well" and "Lay All Your Love on Me", as well as a medley entitled "Thank ABBA for the Music" for the ABBA tribute album; they also recorded "Dancing Queen" for their second greatest hits album, The Ultimate Collection (2011), and "Story of a Heart" for their fifth studio album, Tears on the Dancefloor (2017). Steps covered a selection of Christmas classics for their fourth studio album, Light Up the World (2012).
Have you ever thought about how many songs with step in the title have been written? This list ranks the best songs with step in the name, regardless of their genre. Many of the tracks listed are songs about steps or stepping, but just because that word is in the title doesn't mean that the song's subject is exclusively about that. This ranked list includes songs like "One Step Closer" by Linkin Park, and "Two Step" by Dave Matthews Band. If your favorite song with step in the title isn't listed, feel free to add it to the list so others can also vote it up. Songs with step in the lyrics are fair game too.
I would recommend playing this song in the recorded key of E or maybe dropping it to the key of D. When songs are led by a female like Taya Smith, I think it is unnecessary to change the key since men can comfortably sing an octave lower. If you are a male leading this song, I recommend keeping it in the key of E. Sure, you will not be able to show off your beautiful tenor voice, but more people will be able to sing along.
It is not uncommon for a singer to ask for a piece to be transposed up or down a half step or a whole step. This minute change might be a big change for instrumentalist, like horn players, who have to play the song in a completely different key that the original song. It would make more sense in most cases to transpose up or down a 4th or a 5th to a closely related key that would be well in the range for a vocalist, but this is rarely ever the case.
I don't think it's unreasonable for a singer to accommodate the band with regard to a key change interval of a whole or half-step, or not. If your singer cannot do this, then maybe you need to find a better singer. But please read on.
To avoid disagreement, it's reasonable to ask your singer to work out what songs he or she would like to sing with your band in advance, and to agree before the jam session about the keys. If your band and the singer cannot agree on a key transposition on a certain song, then it just won't work, and you should ask the singer to suggest different songs that might work, and sort it out beforehand. Make it the singer's responsibility to provide his or her own written-out charts in the key that you agree on, if the members of your band cannot transpose a chart on sight for a difficult song.
In 35 years of singing, I have never encountered a song that I could sing if it were shifted a 4th or a 5th higher or lower in pitch than what I asked for. That would be too much for most singers, unless you are talking about a song with a very narrow tessitura, maybe a melody where every single note falls within the range of a fifth. There are very few songs like that.
Speaking as (primarily) a vocalist: A half step can be the difference between the singer being able to hit the high or low note at acceptable volume/clarity -- or at all! -- and not being able to do so. And that can vary from day to day, which is why it's a good idea to know and avoid the limits of their range (and to sanity-check during the band's warm-up).
(My girlfriend and I will probably never be able to sing as a duo. We're both in the baritone range, but our ranges and the breaks in our voices are offset just enough that we strain to sing unison and can rarely sing harmony... and from day to day, it's never clear which of us is going to be singing above or below the other. Some day maybe we'll figure out a way to make it work, but I'm not counting on it. There are a few songs with a limited range that we can get away with, but...)
It mainly depends on the RANGE of the song in question.In a song which has notes too high to sing comfortably, it needs to be lowered. Let's take it down a tone. This could make the highest notes easier to sing, and would make the lowest notes only a little lower - no big deal. But - if that song was moved down by a 4th, then the lowest notes would also be a 4th down. At this point, the singer may be having difficulty reaching the lower notes of the song. Top notes = very comfortable. For a singer with a fair range, most pop type songs will stand being moved up, or down, by a 5th.Given a song with a range of say, a 10th, and a limited range singer, we're talking about a small window of key change.
On occasions, working in bands, various singers have asked for key changes to songs. After going through several, and asking the singer to stand up to sing, he/she has said 'yes, that's a good key'. I have never had the heart to mention that they were actually back in the original that didn't work before...
Just like everyone else said, it depends. If the song stays at the top, or near the top of your range, bringing it down makes it WAY easier. For example, I am pretty comfortable hitting an F#4, but I dread having to sing a G4. I can somewhat hit a G#, and I have hit an A once or twice. Also, like some have said, if the instrumentalists and the singer are constantly clashing about key changes, maybe there isn't the chemistry you need. Every band I have been in has had instruments like piano, drums and guitar. No horns or violins. So in the past, transposing has not been too big of a deal.But just being considerate of the other band members is also really important. I've played piano songs transposed without any notice or practice in the new key because of one other band member. I've also sang a song in a key that's half a step higher than I'd like just because it's not plausible for our guitar player to play in Db. They'll understand if you sound bad for the first little while. Although I can see that it is a little bit different for horn players.
Most pop songs by male artist are sung by lighter/high baritones. Those high baritones who have really good technique and a big range can pull off songs like "maneater" (Hall and oates) in B minor, "still got the blues" (Gary moore) in d-minor and true tenors with decent technique could do them more easy and probably the better ones can do a song like "run to you" (bryan adams) in F#-minor and sound great.
For deeper baritones with more bottom heavy voices, that half step from B-minor to Bb-minor for a song like maneater makes a lot of difference. Daryl Hall should actually transpose his sings a half key today.. He is struggling to hit those notes as in his youth..
Even my own bands singer who is a high-pitched baritone struggles to sing maneater in its original key. He is slightly flat in the verses and strain a little.. We are in the process of trying e-flat tuning on the guitar and bass as songs like "hip to be square" (huey lewis..), "Life is highway" (cochran) in their original key utilize the low E on bass and guitar and those songs are just one half key away for our singer to sing them without straining a little which is not good if you are singing more than 2 hours straight..
Vocalist should have 17 notes in the range of their chest voice 13 are needed to make a clean octave, that leaves 4 half steps. You do need to accommodate them. However you also should be able to move up to an additional whole step beyond what they're asking to stay in sane scales for everyone else (i.e. C,F,Bb,Eb,Ab,G).
It's funny when somebody takes up singing that they then set out to find what is their preferred key for "Happy Birthday." Sometimes they find a good key, yet it's still not quite right. In particular, the challenging part is on the 3rd Happy Birthday which goes up an octave. So by going to a new key a half step or whole step close by, they can sing the whole song comfortably.
My fiance has been in her life since she was about 2 years old(6 now), and is legally adopting her before year end. He really wants to do a dance song with her at the wedding. I keep running into songs for more the bride and her "step father" or from the day she was born... He doesn't not want to do Brad Pasiley "He didn't have to be" I already asked. Any help would be appreciated! 0852c4b9a8
