Roller Coaster (with Wende Harston): Wende Harston sings with the Queen City Jazz Band in Denver, CO. We had never met. But when she walked into the studio as we were leaving, I heard her say hello to Eric Thorin, HOBOKEN's producer. And I got chills. This was the woman - and the voice - Roller Coaster needed to have the authority, groove and power I'd heard in my head when I wrote the song. Talk about good luck! And a wonderful vocalist...
Rollercoaster, roll on by. Rollercoaster, roll on by.
Feeling low. Take me high.
Rollercoaster, rolling through. Rollercoaster, is it true? Gave you one. Give me two.
Rollercoaster, fade to black. Rollercoaster, down the track. Moving on, or coming back?
Rollercoaster, roll on by. Rollercoaster, roll on by.
Feeling low. Take me high. Say hello…and say goodbye.
