SONGS FOR LOVERS Offers Timeless Soundtrack for Romance Awareness Month

NEW YORK, NY (August, 2016) – August may be the month for vacations, but it’s also Romance Awareness Month— perfect timing for SONGS FOR LOVERS, the latest from Doo Wop legend and The Earls and Steve Michaels , the accomplished lead singer best known for his work with the Velvatones, who grew up idolizing the '60s icons. Joining forces to select and perform classic love songs that resonate with their cross- generational fan base, Chance and Michaels cover the power and nuances of romance with their timeless style and nods to the decades of love-driven music that audiences have cherished.

The two Bronx-based singers have collaborated in the past, but this project brings even more positive messages to the mix. Michaels couldn’t be more thrilled about SONGS FOR LOVERS. “It’s not every day that you get to do a CD with your idol…I was that kid that used to turn on the radio and listen to all those hit records that Larry and the Earls had. It’s almost like a dream come true to get to work with one of your idols years later.” The music of Larry Chance and the Earls () was an influential force in Michaels’ life and would help inspire his successful 1986 release of his version of the Del-Vikings’ classic ‘Come Go With Me’.

Chance is flattered to be one of Michaels’ mentors and credits the singer with putting SONGS FOR LOVERS on their project ‘To Do’ list. “It’s nice, soft music for lovers,” says the artist who considers himself a romantic at heart. You can also expect to hear many of the tracks (Born To Be In Love, I Cross My Heart, If, Lady) during their onstage performances.

Of course Chance, who personifies the street corner music phenomenon of the rock and roll era, knows a thing or two about what audiences are looking for in romantic music. He predicted the staying power of Doo Wop music decades ago and continued to stay loyal to and build upon an astounding fan base. “A lot of the guys left the business…I never stopped I just continued on all these years.”

Michaels believes the magic of SONGS FOR LOVERS lies in its relatability. “The album is extremely powerful because it reaches such a wide and global audience— from 20 to 80 and beyond.” Longtime manager Paul Kasofsky agrees “It’s a love letter to the fans and it’s done with a lot of heart and a lot of love.”
