    not a vocoder, he's using a talkbox

    Go back to Herbie Hancock's 1977 Lp 'Sunlight'. They all copied him.

    I don't remember if it's this album or another one (the song was actually on two of his albums and also a 12" I think) but the Herbie Song "I Thought It Was You" rocks the Vocoder hard. I think he released an import-only album that was recorded live in the studio or something with a version of that song that I absolutely love.

    Not sure if this one was Vocoder or talk box, but "West Cost Poplock" by Ronnie Hudson was pretty fuckin' sweet too. Since it was basically a takeoff of Zapp it was most likely the talk box though.

    I think that track's on Feets Don't Fail Me Now, which is the one that comes directly after Sunlight if I'm remembering right. Could be wrong but the album version of that song also has fantastic piano break half way through which isn't on the 12".

    RE: Herbie - Thought it was you.



    Sunlight definately has a version on it. There is also a one-take version featuring Webster Lewis on the Direct Step LP. No version on Feet don't fail me now.

    Yeah, you're quite right. Maybe I'm thinking of Tell Everybody from Feets Don't Fail Me Now. I like this LP but I think I'm in a slim minority on that score. I'm going to dig it out alongside Sunlight this evening when I get home.

    The track "you bet you love" on that lp is fire! The video is also nice, him wearing his keyboard around the neck and the small mic on the side!!

    There really couldn't be another record to contest this one for the title... the ext version is the essence of Funk 12" with Vocoder
