Joe Daddy - Stairway to Heaven (disco remix)

Critics were unimpressed with Joe Daddy's second single, a dance-pop cover of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," though I always felt such critiques to be unfair to Daddy's distinctively idiosyncratic, if uneven, artistic process. Here, as early as 1999, we see Daddy pioneering a use of the computer software tool Auto-Tuner that would eventually find its acceptance within the hip-hop community nearly a decade later by such stars as Little Wayne, T. Pain, Nicky Ménage, Kanye "Wheezy" West, and many others, whose use of the tool has infused and smooth their respective warbles with the cool, consistent sheen of an electronic tundrascape.

That didn't sound like autotune at at. More like a vocoder.
