Vocoders and Talkboxes in the '60s/'70s (Part 1) We have here a three-part series featuring two voice distortion devices, the vocoder and the talkbox. The music here is mostly from the entire stretch of the '70s. It's in the '80s where the use of this mouth gear really exploded, and we'll avoid that (except for a couple ringers). Robots and disco funk. Or disco and robot funk. Funk and robot disco? But that's not all...
