Hello, soul brothers & sisters.
there's a question that intrigued me since the late 70's. What opinion deserves to you the use of the vocoder in the soul-funk, jazz-funk, disco-soul scene. Since my teens when I her for the first time "Rufusized" by Rufus feat. Chaka Khan and the album "Feet Don't fail me Now" by Herbie Hancock, I found the use of the vocoder as a simple instrument like any other (voice, vibes, strings,...) but some times used with sense and som etimes without sense,, so what is your opinion in general and what are your favorite examples of "right use of the vocoder"?
(I also wonder who started to using it, if was Neil Young or Herbie Hancock)
Thnaks in advance.
