    The impetus for music's infatuation with Auto-Tune can be traced back to Cher's dance pop song "Believe" from 20 years ago.https://n.pr/2JbHv89

        I couldn't stand the effect when I 1st heard it, and it's been painfully excessive torture on my ears every time thereafter. Maybe the worst, most destructive effect to infiltrate any genre ever.

        But, that’s not where the auto tuning concept originated, or even emerged. Let’s not forget Laurie Anderson.https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2016/apr/19/how-we-made-laurie-anderson-o-superman …
