Why have I never heard of Peter Drake before?  He's quite good.

There's an old movie titled "That Tennessee Beat" that features Pete Drake performing this tune. I saw it a long time ago before Frampton appeared on the scene and popularized this effect.

On our record store page, I just uploaded a video of this with a little better quality of sound. Awesome sound system,but cheap camera,hahahahah CHEERS!!!

I loved this whole album ( Forever). I used to listen to it for hours on end. I believe Peter Drake's talents were VERY unsung.

@rustyrhoads Lucille Ball made one of her earliest film appearances during the 1930s in a Pathé Newsreel demonstrating the Sonovox. In 1939, Alvino Rey used a carbon throat microphone wired in such a way as to modulate his electric steel guitar sound. The mic, originally developed for military pilot communications, was placed on the throat of Rey's wife Luise King (one of The King Sisters), who stood behind a curtain and mouthed the words, along with the guitar lines.

I am here to set the Record straight once for all about the talk BOX Pete did not invent it SHOT JACKSON did Pete Drake snuck in to a closed session Buddy Emmons was doing for Shot Jackson Trying out the talk box that Shot built out of a horn driver Pete stole the idea and in week's to follow recorded Forever with it !

Shot Jackson never got the credit he so deserved From nashville

People thought Frampton, Joe Walsh and Stevie Wonder were talk box pioneers; here's the real one.

I stole this record from my dad around 1969 and never returned it. I still have it. As a musician, this record had a HUGE effect on me.

He was a part of Billy Sherrill's musicians, known as the "A- Team He also mentions a few of the songs he played on later like " Lay Lady Lay'', and ''I Never Promised You A Rose Garden ' .The author also talks about George Harrison contacting Peter Drake to play on the " All Things Must Pass " album.
