Mr. Big – To Be With You 4K Video

This song, released in 1991 by the American band Mr.

Big—featuring top-tier virtuoso musicians like guitarist Paul Gilbert and bassist Billy Sheehan—became a massive hit, reaching No.

1 on the Billboard charts.

Eric Martin’s vocals on this track showcase his soulful qualities to great effect within a simple, catchy melody.

While the band’s signature flashy, technical instrumental work takes a back seat here, the song is highly polished as a vocal-centric piece and very enjoyable.

Now, singing this with the kind of soulful delivery Eric himself uses, full of ad-libs, can be quite challenging for those not confident in their singing.

However, if you simply trace the melody as it is, it’s a very singable and beautiful song.

So if you try it at karaoke, consider not focusing too much on imitating the original.

Also, be careful with the key setting—you might run into unexpectedly high notes in the original key.

When it comes to quintessential mainstream rock, it’s got to be Mr.

BIG.

I’m not sure about now, but they’ve even played as B’z’s backing band, so they’re a familiar rock band in Japan too.

They deliver a pure, no-surprises rock sound, and I personally love them for it.
