"In 1992 I was hired by my variety band, Paradise Band, to make over 50 backing tracks of music to songs of cover songs for the band to play along with during our live performances. I posted the best, TOP 20 instrumentals here. Some of them could be used as Karaoke Instrumental music. All songs free. These were created to help Paradise Band
sound more like the original artist. In most cases I left out the lead vocals, guitar solos, and drums so Paradise Band could play those instrument parts live. I spent an average of 34 hours on each recording. I tried to copy every note from every instrument as best as I could from the original artists recording."
