Living legend, Philadelphia icon, and renowned R&B
singer and songwriter Walter "Bunny" Sigler is excited to announce the
latest addition to his ever-expanding discography – a single titled “Till I See
You Again”. This song will be released on iTunes and all major digital outlets
on March 24, via Sigler’s own Bunz Music & Records label. “Till I See You
Again” is the first single from Sigler’s upcoming album ‘Young at Heart’, which
is slated for a summer release. ‘Young at Heart’ features Bunny’s fresh take on
the genre of jazz, mixing tunes from the classic standards songbook with
several of Sigler’s own compositions and his familiar R&B sound. Each of
these tunes, old and new, features Sigler’s signature vocal performances that
are bursting with emotion.
“Till I See You Again” is no exception, from the opening
harmonies to the catchy chorus. The slow ballad gives Sigler a foundation on
which he builds a sound with elements of classics and modern tunes alike. The
classic instrumentation invites Sigler’s emotional and powerful voice to paint
a truly heartfelt and sweet picture of a man longing for a “special friend”
while the two are apart. Sigler notes he has dedicated the song to the late
Marvin Morrow, who co-wrote the song with Bunny. Tasteful and restrained, “Till
I See You Again” is a strong start to ‘Young at Heart,’ Sigler’s follow-up to
2015’s “Bundino”. Lloyd Remick, Bunny’s longtime attorney says:
“Bunny has done a gospel LP, a Christmas LP and two “love
and funk” LPs. Now he presents a standards and jazz album to show his complete
versatility - he’s a rare and skilled musician.”
Philadelphia R&B legend Bunny Sigler continues to share
songs that prove his passion for music goes well beyond his beloved soul songs.
Bunny’s songwriting for tracks like Instant Funk's "I Got My Mind Made
Up", Patti Labelle's "Somebody Loves You Baby", The Whispers'
"Bingo", Jackie Moore's "Sweet Charlie Babe" and The O'Jays
"Sunshine" are what put him on the musical map. Not only is Bunny
skilled with the pen, but he is also a world-renowned singer.
This Philadelphia native began his singing career in
churches all over the metropolitan area with songs like "O Lord My
God" and "The Lord's Prayer". The industry gave him the nickname
“Mr. Emotion” after his heartfelt performances on stage. Creating numerous hits
over the span of his career (many of which are still being sampled in today's
generation), Bunny continues to write, produce and record new material. He is
the co-writer of the song “The Ruler's Back” which was an opening song for Jay
Z's album, "Blueprint". Even at over 70 years old, "there ain't
no stopping us now" claims Sigler, as he gets continues to write, record,
and release new music on a regular basis.
