That Rare Time Clare Torry Sung “Great Gig in the Sky” with Pink Floyd – That Eric Alper

One of the greatest female vocal performances ever (the original, not this one but it’s fine).

While recording The Dark Side Of The Moon, the band played the instrumental track for Clare Torry and asked her to improvise a vocal. At first, Torry struggled to divine what the band wanted, but then she was inspired to pretend that she herself was an instrument.
