Episode 2: Voices in Disguise - When the Lead Wasn’t Who You Thought
Sometimes the biggest surprise in a hit song isn’t what you’re hearing, it’s who.
This week, we pull back the curtain on the hidden voices behind some unforgettable tracks: The background singer who stole Elvin Bishop’s spotlight, the new guy Elvis Costello pushed to the mic for Squeeze’s Tempted, the folk singer who stepped into Pink Floyd’s studio, and the quiet Beach Boy who sang the band’s most beautiful ballad.
It’s a lineup of musical switch-ups, ghost vocals, and unexpected stars who proved that sometimes the song’s soul belongs to someone else.
Stick around for the cocktail segment too, we’ll be shaking up The Spotlight Sour, a smooth twist on a Whiskey Sour that gives one unexpected ingredient its moment to shine.
