Singers name is Clare Torry, she was a sessions singer/scat singing a specialty. She was hired for the day and in 2 takes, this this little english woman left to go about her life, and forgot all about it. I guess she had no idea that she laid down one of the most iconic vocals in history.

I’d hardly say she disappeared and forgot all about it. She took the band to court and sued them to get a writing credit.

@Vincent Schmitt I’m not saying she wasn’t entitled to the credit, just that she certainly didn’t “go about her life and forget all about it”

That one time when the words were removed, and the human soul was allowed to speak. And it was recorded.

Nonsense. No such entity as a "soul" exists. That's one of those invisible things - like "God" & resurrection - that mankind has created.

Highly recommend using headphones when listening to Pink Floyd . It will touch your soul . 🙂

One of the best vocals of all time, improvised on the day by the singer Clare Torry, just incredible.

The greatest lyrics-without-words in rock music history. Still gives me goosebumps after 49 years!

They say she's supposedly portraying the stages of grieve: depression, anger and finally a peaceful acceptance and letting go! ... I can actually hear all of that in her performance.

Nice reaction from you. On the album, this song immediately follows the song (Time). And time is what leads us inexorably to death, which reality terrifies all of us when we must face it. So (The Great Gig In The Sky) is the next logical step, and Clare Torry (singer) describes it perfectly through her lyrical soaring, going through all emotional stages, from hysterical terror to appeasement, and finally, acceptance of the inevitable.

Awesome reaction. It's other level music. I still have recollection of hearing this for the first time when I was like 8-9 years old and knowing this was something very damn intense and very special. For me, 'Dark Side of the Moon' is one of the single most phenomenal, mind-blowing albums I have ever heard or really imagine I'll ever hear. It's four exceptional musical artists at their creative peak, with ideas for days, a state-of-the-art studio, and brilliant people involved in mixing, engineering, arrangements, backing instruments/vocals all combining to create something exceedingly close to whatever perfection is supposed to sound like, which is arbitrary anyway. It's a groove from first notes to the final ones.

You really needed headphones for THIS, IMO... But great reaction, as usual!

This song gets hot and cold down your spine. 😲 /translate

Think she did this two takes they wanted to do another and she said no, they paid her and she left.

A tiny 23 year old WHITE CHICK! I was amazed at That. Timi Yuro was another extremely powerfully voiced singer. She was Italian-American and studied for Opera. And she belted out the Soul Gold of What's a Matter Baby? (is it hurtin' you)?

Pink Floyd: Headphones

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime. I never said I was frightened of dying.

Clare Torry was unarguably THE best! [REDACTED], it took THREE singers to take her place in later live concerts, and they STILL could not hold a candle to her. Here she is, live, in one of her last concerts...the crowd reaction(s) affirm her position as one of the all-time greats! kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6unq7Cuo6i9hrw.html I had erroneously posted that Clare Torry had passed. I sincerely apologize to Clare, and to any and all others I offended due to my error.
