Want proof? Let’s go to the tape!
One of our favorite trends when it comes to viral videos is the “isolated vocal track” clip, which usually captures the awe-inspiring talent of the world’s best singers. In honor of Plant’s birthday, who chose five of our favorite isolated vocals for your listening pleasure. Prepare to be blown away.
Robert Plant – “Since I’ve Been Loving You”
Grace Slick – “White Rabbit”
Rock and roll’s version of a Gregorian chant, Slick’s voice as “White Rabbit” builds is akin to a force that could move mountains.
Freddie Mercury – “Somebody To Love”
Mercury was the type of singer whose voice could soar well over any instrument, so to hear his isolated vocals is simply mind-blowing. Such a remarkable talent taken from us all too soon.
David Lee Roth – “Running With The Devil”
Okay…here us out. Perhaps DLR’s vocals won’t give you chills as noted in the headline, but there’s just something about his various whoos and grunts that is intriguing. Be honest; we’re not wrong.
Merry Clayton – “Gimme Shelter”
Saved the best for last. There’s a reason why many feel Clayton’s solo on The Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter” is the greatest solo of all time. We’ll just let the track speak for itself.
