Back then auto-tune existed, except that it wasn't computerized. It was commonly known as a musical ear and a sense of rhythm, something most artists lack today.
n 1944, singer/songwriter Johnny Mercer came to hear one of Father Divine's (African American Spiritual Leader) sermons. The subject was You got to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative." Mercer said, "Wow, that's a colorful phrase! He went back to Hollywood and got together with songwriter Harold Arlen (Over The Rainbow) and together they wrote Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive which was recorded by Mercer himself and the Pied Pipers in 1945. It was also recorded by Bing Crosby .
Im trying too figure this which i like best this verzion or perry/ pro The Andrews Sisters make the difference/Con Bing seem's to not give it what he's got in his range 50/50 a draw great post thank you!
