In 2004, she sued Pink Floyd and EMI for songwriting royalties on the basis that her contribution to “The Great Gig in the Sky” constituted co-authorship with keyboardist Richard Wright. Originally, she was paid the standard flat fee of £30 for Sunday studio work. In 2005, an out-of-court settlement was reached in Torry’s favour, although the terms of the settlement were not disclosed.[8] All releases after 2005 carry an additional credit for “Vocal composition by Clare Torry”[9] for the “Great Gig in the Sky” segment of the booklet or liner notes.

Heart (Ann Wilson) Crazy on You, Barracuda... not to mention a host of other songs.

...and then I heard Gretchen Wilson sing Barracuda... wow.

Ann kills it on "Mistral Wind," too. One of my Heart favorites. And I went to see Gretchen Wilson in concert just to hear her sing Barracuda. The only singer I've ever heard who can truly pull off Ann's vocals (and I played in a Heart tribute band for years).

I really like "Gimme Shelter," but the highlight of that song is the guitar work, not the vocal.

Actually, Gimme Shelter is a perfect example of how a great song is larger than the parts. Check out the isolated tracks here:

Come on man. No “Bridge Over Troubled Waters” or “Unchained Melody”?

Thanks, but when I try to play those videos I get a message saying it’s not allowed for some reason.

She certainly did deserve a writing credit. There is an interview with her on YouTube about how that song came about. The band didn’t give her much direction, because they really couldn’t describe what they did want. They could only say they didn’t like some things that she had tried. So the composition really is hers with minimal direction.

This isn't classic or rock, but if anyone is interested in a good current singer, Avi Kaplan is very talented. Almost all of his work is very high quality.

Have you heard their redo of Adonai from about 10 years ago? Waaay good, especially the live version.

I love so much Petra, Mylon, D and K, Whitecross, Barren Cross, White Heart, Sonic Flood, etc.

Agree! glad to see her royalty checks as she gets older. Check out the woman who sings her lungs out on the live PULSE version. I saw her name but cannot find her again ,,...Seems like she ruined her voice by getting so emotionally involved. Going by her wikipedia page.

The woman with the long blond hair.

I couldn’t agree more. I could try, but I would fail.

If you're a Delp fan, and I am, you'll enjoy this YouTube post where they separated Delp's vocals from the music on More than a Feeling. This puts the incredible range and clarity of his voice on full display.
