female vocals

[interval]

What is the earliest instance of a song featuring hypnotic female vocals over Electronic Music?
A recent example is this Cuda Way advertisement. Prior to that was Like a G6. Perhaps Teardrop is relevant. Who invented that style?

[angie-c]

I believe these voices may have derived from the Folk and Acoustic artists (like Joni Mitchell) in the 60s and 70s as well as from the Trip-Hop vocalists (like lead/guest vocals of Morcheeba, Massive Attack & Portishead) in the 90s.
