Sixteen Tons Group Singing (BACKUP SINGERS NEEDED!)

Sixteen Tons Group Singing (BACKUP SINGERS NEEDED!)

Project Overview

Hey guys. Let's do an oldie song called Sixteen Tons by Ernie Ford.


I am looking for 3 soloists, though I don't mind many doing backups. Everyone will sing the chorus, which is this:

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I will be singing the first solo btw, but you are free to do other solos.

Here is the link for the song: https://youtu.be/Joo90ZWrUkU
