"Forever" #25 4/25/1964 Bonus

Pete Drake was one of the top session pickers in Nashville during the 60's and 70's. He developed a device where he put a piece of plastic tubing in his mouth hooked to a steel guitar and amp, which allowed him to voice the notes he played. The "talk box" was later refined by Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, and other rockers, i.e., "Rocky Mountain Way," "Do You Feel Like We Do," "Show Me The Way," etc. This one from late April '64 was originally done in 1960 by the Little Dippers, who were actually the Anita Kerr Singers, one of Nashville's top background vocal groups of the day.
