This is an insane photo of Brian Auger (on top) with Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, and Fats Domino - and yes, this is not photoshopped - they actually stacked the pianos. Taken on the set of the Monkees TV special '33⅓ Revolutions per Monkee', 1969.

"I came home one day from school after being chased by kids singing "Yellow Submarine", and I didn't understand why. It just seemed surreal: why are they singing that song to me? I came home and I freaked out on my dad: 'Why didn't you tell me you were in The Beatles?' And he said, 'Oh, sorry. Probably should have told you that.'" - Dhani Harrison

Reminded me of Sun Ra. Saw him live twice, once in Madison, WI in the mid '70s and once in Chicago in the early '80s. Both shows were amazing.
Richard Wright wanted to (eventually did) pay a settlement to Torry for her fantastic work. Waters recommended Wright to fight her and not give in.
And rightly so, IMO. Her vocal pretty much makes the song for me. Anyone who can walk into a room and lay that down off the top of their head deserves a co-authorship and more than £30 for the day.
WOW!!! DANG!!!
I haven't been spellbound by a vocal performance in a very long time, but that one blew me away! I hadn't heard of her or that song until just now, but I sure won't forget either one.
Whatever they paid her, I'm sure it wasn't enough!
Neil Peart at his studies.
Yes, she gave an outstanding performance considering there was no direction except David Gilmore wrote out the chords. Apparently they did not know what they wanted. What you hear on record was a first take!
She did sue for royalties and was awarded a song writing credit for vocals. Whatever financial compensation she won has been undisclosed, but I hope that she was compensated well.

Whatever the sum she was awarded, we may never know. Rolling Stone rated this track as the second greatest vocal performance behind Bohemian Rhapsody, so I hope they made it worth her while.
I don't want to slag on a fellow bassist, but Torry did SO much more to make that song memorable than Roger Waters did.
