  • Nice to see him play even for a clip, a good memory, and that vocoder harmonies fiddling all around, what a work, soft and rich forever, advanced in sounds and still easy to listen.

  • This has got to be the best use of a vocoder. Ever!

    The modern day users haven't a clue compared to herbie.

    Must be played loud, and clearly on a quality sound system to appreciate. (Watch those fingers create the song...)

  • Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant

    BRILLIANT!!

  • The one person who disliked this probably likes t-pain and think his keyboardless crappy autotune is somehow better. Long Live Herb!!!

  • 1 person finds this offensive because of their tracheotomy.

  • Wendy Carlos used a vocoder on the soundtrack for the film "A Clockwork Orange", around 1971. It was used most significantly in the completely electronic realization of "March from A Clockwork Orange (Ninth Symphony, Fourth Movement, Abridged)" writtne by L.V. Beethoven and arranged by Carlos. Rachel Elkind provided the articulation.

  • Suddenlyyyyyyyyy....

  • Remember when?. . .
