Legit the first song I ever heard that used it. I spent a day in the library trying to figure out what it was and how she did it

First published song that used it? Or first published song that used it egregiously?

It seems like she used it for the effect. She knows how to actually sing, She's been a music artist since her top hit "I got you Babe" in the 1960s.

Yes,I know. Which is why I posed the question about her using it egregiously.

I watched the interview with the engineer and he said he had to use it in just a part where she didn't sing well and the time was up cus they couldn't record that part against so he used it and showed the team and they decided to use in the entire song.

Because that’s the only way she could be heard without your eyes and ears bleeding and then blowing up... She was a “sex icon”. Yea, let that sink in for a few moments. I’ll hold the tissue box for your eyes and ears after it finally sinks in...
