We’ll go togetherSnow Man
Snow Man is a group that energizes the contemporary boy group scene.
Their performances rival K-pop in quality and appeal, and they have produced numerous hit songs to date.
Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is We’ll go together.
While it features somewhat prominent higher notes, the overall vocal range is relatively narrow, and it doesn’t include complex vocals with lots of ad-libs or falls.
This makes it an approachable song even for teenage boys whose voices may still be unstable.

Released on his first solo album “CIRCUS TOWN” in 1976, included again on the best-of album “GREATEST HITS!
