	Floydian Slip(tm) : The Pink Floyd Experience > News archive> Session singer brings suit against Floyd
		Session singer Clare Torry, whose vocal stylings are a stand-out on "The Great Gig in the Sky" from Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" (1973), is suing the band and EMI Records.
		The Daily Express reports that Torry claims her contribution to the song constitutes co-authorship, and she is suing for damages that could be worth millions of dollars.
		Torry says she was instructed by the band to sing along to the musical track without using words, and it was her approach to that challenge that qualifies her as co-writer of the song.

	DiscussAnything.com - - Best Backup Vocals Performance
		Album engineer Alan Parsons brought in session singer Clare Torry, whom they instructed to sing without forming words, and to sound as if she were having an orgasm.
		What Torry did with little more than "whoa-oh, oh, OH oh oh OH oh oh" was orgasmic indeed, lifting the listener on angelic wings for an ethereal flight across time and space.
		Torry, an EMI staff songwriter fresh out of school, had only just started doing vocal sessions, but after she was given the basic concept of the vocals desired, was told to just go out and "do her thing," so what she produced came directly from her soul.

		Clare’s vocals were first heard on late 60’s solo singles released by Fontana, the raw 17 year old voice already reaching the parts no one else could, in a manner no one else would try.
		Alan Parsons, in the early 70’s a budding engineer /producer, recognised the talent early on from such sessions and it was he who introduced Clare to Pink Floyd.
		This album is a collection of highlights from her career when Clare stepped out front and sang the lead.

		2.) Clare Torry will finally receive some well deserved and overdue compensation for the marvelous job she did on this one album.
