Quote:What instruments did he play? A musician needs to play instruments, right? As far as the writing, I have a feeling that Quincy Jones needs to get more credit than he got for MJ's material, but whatever.The voice is an instrument. IF you doubt me, check out a little gal named Chenoweth. Kristin. One each.
@ Pete: I suppose we can go around in vivid pedantry on that one, but I won't. When composing a song, if the voice isn't in balance and harmony with the other instruments, the song doesn't work as a composition. Treating the voice as another instrument, by it with melody or harmony, may not be the same as "the voice is an instrument."
Then again, a capella is voice alone, so you could probably get a lot of support for the instrument / voice distinction.
