Aldo went back to Jersey with the demo and Jon sang on it. He brought it back for a little more polishing added some bg. vox and that was that.

He is totally truthful, the song was +85% untouched, just recorded with the famous musicians.

There is a demo of it, that weekend recording at Aldo's studio, with Jon singing. Not sure who has it, but you would hear how close it is.

Peace.
