The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hinton, is a classic novel that has captured readers' hearts for decades, and the movie adaptation brought the story's characters to life. But did you know that this iconic story also has a fantastic soundtrack, featuring several fantastic songs?

If you want to learn to sing like the characters in The Outsiders, you'll need to channel their unique vocal styles. The songs you'll want to focus on are those that exemplify the era's sound and the book's themes.

• "Stay" by Mauri Williams and The Zodiacs: The song's gentle sound suggests vulnerability and yearning, which is a core theme of the book. Use your breath and dynamics to convey the lyrics' pain effectively. Use the Singing Carrots Pitch Training tool to help with pitch accuracy and the Pitch Monitor to track your progress.
• "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival: This upbeat song is associated with freedom and rebellion - both key themes in the book. Work on your diaphragm control and articulation. The Singing Carrots Articulation article offers tips for improving clarity in your vocals, and the Farinelli Breathing exercise video can help improve your breath control.
• "Gloria" by Them: This upbeat rock anthem perfectly showcases the free-spirited nature of the book's characters. Work on your chest voice. The Singing Carrots Chest Voice article and Chest Voice/Voice Registers exercise video can help.

Remember, each of these songs has a unique sound, and the way you sing them will depend on your individual voice and style. Use Singing Carrots' resources to develop your technique and find your unique voice, and you'll be singing like a Greaser in no time!
