Re: Unreleased Dick Wagner/Alice Cooper Songs
"Remember The Child" is a song Dick recorded a couple of years ago and released as a charity single.

It could be for the Cotton project. Not heard any more about that for a while, not that I've looked.

God what a horrible song.

There are songs that are hits and there are songs that are sh*t. This is the latter served on a silver platter!
Re: Unreleased Dick Wagner/Alice Cooper Songs
Oh dear, in terms of quality there are songs that are cans and those that are cants- that is definitely a cant
You are an individual, just like everybody else.
Re: Unreleased Dick Wagner/Alice Cooper Songs
Not the best quality clip to really judge it, but one thing's for sure, the singer is awful.
In the right hands it may have potential. Hard to tell from this distance.

The original 'Remember The Child' is quite moving; better than this rotten Cotton stuff.

That is better but about 2 minutes too long.

Charidee records are usually unspeakably naff, and cynically self-promotional, but Dick obviously cared deeply about the horrors of child abuse. The track, written in the early 90s, was subsequently used as the theme song for a PBS tv special; played, on tour, by Dick at abuse seminars; embraced by psychologists as a therapy tool, and used to raise funds for his 'Remember The Child Foundation'. (There was also an album, of the same name, that expanded on some of the issues surrounding child abuse.)
Although much of Dick's solo stuff sounds, to me, REO Speedwagon-bland, I do really rate his original version of 'Might As Well Be On Mars'; lovely restrained, bluesy guitar, as opposed to the horrible cod-metal that ruins Alice's. My favourite of Dick's tracks, though, is the lead song, 'Some Things Go On Forever', from his 1978 debut album - the vocals here are just brilliant.
Re: Unreleased Dick Wagner/Alice Cooper Songs
In my above post I should have written 'striking', rather than 'original' - as that implies Dick wrote 'Mars' first, then gave it to Alice, whereas it was a co-write.

I see Maryann Cotton refereed to this, along with a photo of him and Alice, in a recent Facebook post:
"Can’t wait for everybody to hear the songs you and Dick Wagner wrote for me!"
I guess you could call him the ultimate Alice Cooper tribute act. Soldier Boy is his version of Wind Up Toy, It's All Hallows Eve is a cross between Keeping' Halloween Alive and Cold Machines, Maryann is a cross between Ballad Of Dwight Fry and Might As Well Be On Mars and For The Angels is basically Sun Arise.
