MP3 DEMO:
M1733. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD (Prince) - A
key - A - range - A to D (optional E)
The massive Prince hit from 1995 was always pretty un-gigable as it was, unless you were Prince! But strip it right back to just a Trio, slow the tempo down and it becomes a wonderful ballad! It's really a perfect wedding song as well. This key should suit fairly typical male ranges, although it stays to the upper half of the range. I say it again, being different does matter!
Same arrangement as M1732 except a tone and a half higher.
