Under Pressure - A-Capella

via MakingMusic, the voices behind one of my favorite songs ever. As the blurb sez. "Kids, this is HOW IT'S DONE. Take notes"

Back in the summer of 1981, Queen and David Bowie happened to be recording material in separate studios in Montreux, Switzerland’s Mountain Studios.  After a night of binge drinking and binge… um… sniffing… Queen and David Bowie came up with one of the most killer rock songs written in years.  Here we have the unbelievable isolated vocal tracks from that song.  This was before WAY before autotune and punching in your takes with ProTools.  Just raw talent.  Freddie’s vocals of “why… why…. whyyyyyyy” and then going to a HIGHER note after that is just unbelievable. Kids, this is HOW IT’S DONE.  Take notes.
