The atypical sound with all its varieties was often to be heard in the rhythm & blues, flower power, rock and soul music. Melancholic and lyrical in
“A Whiter Shade Of Pale” from Procal Harum, cracking and growling in John Lord’s rock band, Deep Purple, sultry and sensual under moaning lyrics of Jane Birkin in “Je t’aime…moi non plus” with Serge Gainsbourg, “slick and smooth” in Roy Phillips’ The Peddlers or pulsing and raw in Booker T. and the MG’s R&B, once a regular band backing the legendary soul singer
Otis Redding.

Het a-typische geluid met al zijn variaties was al vaker te horen in de rhythm & blues, flower power, rock en soulmuziek. Melancholisch en lyrisch in “A Whiter Shade Of Pale” van Procal Harum, scheurend en grommend in John Lords rockgroep Deep Purple, zwoel en sensueel onder zuchtende teksten van Jane Birkin in “Je táime…moi non plus” met Serge Gainsbourg, “slick and smooth” in Roy Phillips’ The Peddlers, of stuwend en rauw in de R&B van Booker T. and the MG’s, ooit de begeleidings-
band van de legendarische soulzanger Otis Redding.
