in the early 60s it probably was insane. there were people still alive who could recall the first implementations of early telephones in their communities. must have been truly something to behold the rapid advancement of voice technology in the 20th century.

@@SexyFace even when Peter Frampton made it famous people still were blown away about how his guitar could talk. I mean if I was in the audience this would blow my fucking mind. Also fun fact the older talk boxes were notorious for damaging amplifiers and PA systems all the time so its no wonder that they weren’t used that often

It’s maybe looking stupid but at that time it was not so easy to perform on tu, and the rules where super strong 🙏🇧🇪

Well it looks and sounds pretty insane! But how does it work? What is even going on?

For real. I wish this version was on music streaming subs.

Agreed: The single is missing that beautiful tremolo guitar... Something about the jazzy Maj7th chords softly strummed and allowed to ring out in tremolo coupled with the dampened staccato piano notes creates an otherworldly, mellow showcase for Drake's lead melody.

This is a studio recording too. They're lip syncing

Yup, I looked for it on iTunes but they didn’t have this version. This is the best one, the vocals are so different.

I concur.

Retrofuturism! The aesthetic of what people in the past thought the future would be like.

@@davediamond9436 You’re correct. Frampton evidently started experimenting with the talk box at Harrison’s 1970 sessions but didn’t record with it ‘til later (after Walsh).

True

On closer examination, that's not Glenn Huggins (bass singer of the Southern Gentlemen) third from the left. It's Ray Walker, bass singer of the Jordanaires. Ray was close to The Gents at the time. This may be shortly after they joined Sonny James, as Glenn did not tour with Sonny until sometime later.

Yes! The Anita Kerr Singers. They recorded the original version of this tune in 1960 under the name The Little Dippers and it was a hit record for them. It's on KZfaq and has a nearly identical vocal arrangement. They did the bumper music for WLS radio in the 1960s, which was where I first heard them.

This sounds like a motif from Gone With the Wind, maybe it's a homage in some way

Unless they were lip synching to the Anita Kerr singers the gentlemen here are some of Sonny James Southern Gentlemen. I'm not sure of the lady singer. I watched this movie and Sonny performs in it also and they are introduced as Sonny's Southern Gentlemen. The lady singer could be one of Anita Kerr's. I also understand many of the performances in the movie were lip synced so who knows.

RIP Forever

Maybe not in 2024. 1964ish. 20yr olds be 80s.

I was 9 when this song came out in 1964. @@tomhowe1510

Agreed! Beautiful song, I love it, and the old talk-box unit is really cool but . . .there is a slight nightmarish veil to the video! ;-) Probably because I watch a lot of mystery/suspense/horror shows and sometimes similar music is used. I'm thinking of that great X-Files episode, one of the best and most shocking/intense with the deformed inbred family that lived in a small town.

Haha, fo sho, David Lynch directed this i think

It would make a good Twilight Zone episode: a small town turns out for a concert by a country package tour that presents a big, lush, sound, featuring a talking steel guitar, completely without microphones or any sound system. Their hair is perfect and gleaming, and their outfits wrinkle-free. The next morning, news arrives that the entire ensemble died when their plane went down in a remote Saskatchewan lake hours before the show everyone saw.

Rick and morty

Time is a circle?

It's partially because it is an analog sound and video artifact. This footage never saw a zero/one binary system until it was digitized from the source. Every single bit of the equipment you see there is analog. Maybe the nostalgic dimension you perceive resonates because of the integrity of the analog recording, being filtered through a binary system. Either way, I agree...this performance is surreal. I keep stumbling back on this video year after year.

Jeff Beck used one too, live, back in the 70s.

Those talk boxes required that you tie its tube to a microphone. The one that Pete Drake is using has no Mic. How does that work?

i wondered who did it first; was going to research but i'll take your word on it. Passing strange music!

Lol, this is a joke people. This talk box obviously pre-dates Frampton’s. “Forever” was recorded in 1964. All Things Must Pass in 1970. Pete Drake was the person who introduced Frampton to the talk box during some sessions.

@@headly21 Uses the guitar's pick-up instead of a microphone.

Never would have recognized SC and DDD in the lineup; outstanding observation

Ok boomer. Autotune was 2008. 2020 is gonna be all about hiding the licc in every song you write

Nah this is vocoding.

Jack Cramer Not quite. This was an early instance of a voice box, where a performer can modify the instrument’s sound by simply shaping their mouths into syllables, and that combination is fed back into the microphone. A vocoder relies entirely on a performer’s actual voice, hence the word itself (“voice” and “encoder”)

Holy Heyoka As in the video’s title, it’s a pedal steel guitar.

@plnkfloydian i believe its a joke

​@plnkfloydian Well ya see there bud, that there is a small amount of humour taken in by way of what might be called a 'phonetic artefact'. Ya see now, our fella here is talking into a make-shift talk box and thereby is forming words by way of some fair obstruction. This has a noticeable affect on the clarity of his pronunciation, adding some ambiguity to bilabial, labio-dental, and dental sounds. Thereby, also obfuscating those sounds that would be formed further back now. So there you have it bud. No psychopathy involved. Or should I say 'Gno gykobaty inbwlbet'. To be fair though, Pete does a stand out job of getting some clarity out of that - it's a hard ask to say the least. But eh, you'd better not be cheesing me there buddy - 'cus I'm fair sure you'd a got me a good'n.

@@nithingr4359 nice

@@nithingr4359 Love your argument.

@plnkfloydian fyi his argument is completely invalid but it sounds smart- he's saying it's hard to tell what Pete is saying

Where is the microphone that picks up the sound after it's been into the mouth? Inside the talk box?

I wondered the same thing. I know how the talk box works, so there’s gotta be a microphone hidden somewhere. Maybe a primitive lapel mic, or a boom mic above camera-view...or this could all be lip-synced. Which was/is common practice for television.

your the man

no. inside the talk box is a little dwarf. the tube goes direct into the ear of the dwarf. the dwarf has a little mic in his hands and talks what he hears into the mic. because the mouth of the dwarf is so small, it sounds so different.

Much easier if you just use the fan method😂
