That was three chicks in the movie.

Also one of the chicks did the great screaming solo on Great Gig In The Sky.

Same thing for Steve Tyler and David Lee Roth, but nobody did it like Jagger.

Now if you wander into the jazz realm you get some truly phenomenal voice players. I'll just start with Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan. Dang, those women could do it.

Ummm, I guess I'm a bit stumped as to 'instrument voice' based upon some of the replies.

I was thinking more along the lines of Roger Miller...

I grew up loving rock and it's "vocal Intruments" but the one voice that always Amazed me as an "Instrument" was Patsy Cline, smooth as silk.

I admire many great singers and have no one favorite.

However, many years ago I taught myself to be a better singer by listening to Gordon Lightfoot and Johnny Mathis.
