Clair Torry’s legendary vocals on Pink Floyd’s The Great Gig in the Sky

This is a great collection of videos, including this interview with Clair Torry, where she tells the story about coming in to the studio to record her vocals, getting no guidance from producer Alan Parsons, and basically winging it, coming up with one of the greatest off the cuff vocal performances of all time.

The video embedded below is a somewhat isolated mix which really highlights Clair’s performance. I just love this track. Feels like it just pours out of her soul.
