I Wonder Why? - Then and Now Re-Imagined - ALTERNATE VERSION

 As a follow on to my last post I can bring you the ALTERNATE VERSION thanks to Ash Wells at Re-Imagined . Imagine if circa 2014 the Modern gentlemen[who backed Frankie Valli for so many years], decided to re-imagine this song from 1973 in a new arrangement which uses a 'Baroque' style. 

Baroque music arrangements are characterized by "ornate melodies, polyphonic textures, and a strong, continuous bass line known as basso continuo. Key elements include major/minor tonality, rhythmic drive, the use of ornamentation (trills, mordents)". I am sure Charlie Calello would recognise the stylish sound of this track.

Quite ornate orchestrally with complex vocals/harmonies.

I love it.
