Product Description

Capture the smooth, soulful groove of Michael McDonald's iconic hit, 'I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near).' This beloved funk-pop classic, penned by the legendary Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, is now available in a complete digital sheet music arrangement for Piano, Vocal & Guitar Chords with a right-hand melody line.

Designed for the intermediate player, this arrangement offers a rewarding challenge with its moderately complex harmonic progression and the tasteful inclusion of seventh chords. The piano accompaniment features simple block chords in the right hand, supporting a straightforward, syllabic melody, while sustained root notes in the left hand provide that signature R&B foundation. Arranged in the soulful key of E Major and marked with a moderately slow Funk/Rock tempo in 4/4 time, this edition authentically captures the original's laid-back energy. Crucially for guitarists and accompanists, full chord names are included above the staff.

Whether you're looking to recreate the distinctive vocal harmonies and piano lines for a performance or simply enjoy playing this timeless hit at home, this sheet music is an ideal choice. It's perfect for solo performers, band rehearsals, or sing-alongs, allowing you to immerse yourself in the sophisticated sound that made Michael McDonald a superstar. Dive into a piece that effortlessly blends pop and funk, offering both musical enjoyment and an excellent opportunity to develop your harmonic understanding.
