The definitive choice, btw.

If you listen The Great Gig in the Sky and this song back to back there is absolutely no contest.

Gimme shelter for the awe inspiring win. Merry Clayton FTW

A session singer who was paid just $58 (GBP30) to perform on PINK FLOYD's legendary DARK SIDE OF THE MOON album has won an out of court settlement from the band and its record label.

Quote:

CLARE TORRY sang on track THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY and was credited on the 1973 LP - but only received the meagre sum, even though the album went on to sell 36 million copies and stayed in the charts for 26 years.

She told London's High Court she deserved half ownership of copyright for helping to compose the track as she had used a special "wailing" vocal technique when the song was recorded.

The court agreed with Torry. Details of the settlement have not been disclosed - but experts guess the sum could be hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Furthermore she sounds like she's getting stuffed by an elephant. Which happens to be the exact sound they were trying to acheave. (orgasmic) I have a hard time taking it seriously when I listen to that track.

Wow......I had no idea she was that screwed over. Glad she got that settlement.

Ah, nice one!

This is going to be a hard category. Sometimes backup singers contribute a lot, other times just a little "oooh, la la la" at the right moment hits the spot (e.g., Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi"). Must ponder.
