Songs with audible breathing

Deep Purple - Love Don't Mean A Thing

 

Many songs sung by Roger Waters have audible breathing.

 

Grateful Dead - Shakedown Street

Keene - lots and lots of songs

 

T. Rex - Bang A Gong (Get It On).

Marc Bolan's very-audible intake of breath right before shouting, "Take me!"

 

Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus

 

Jerry Garcia - Mississippi Moon.
There are only clarinets for instrumentation (maybe a flute/piccolo as well). It's a quiet track with lots of audible breaths before vocal lines. However, before the final chorus it sounds like they miked the entire wind section's breath. It is very dramatic, and unlike the regular vocal inhales, sounds like it was deliberately included.

 

Someone probably already mentioned this, but Michael Jackson- Smooth Criminal.

 

Stevie Wonder - "I Don't Know Why"

 

Kate Bush - The Dreaming

 

"Someday Is Tonight" - Janet Jackson

 

Rufus Wainwright is the same & the first artist I thought of, when I saw this thread - like it or not, he's never shied away from allowing the effects of the physiological process of singing to be heard on his albums.

 

several Pink Floyd have been mentioned, but surprisingly not this one, where the breathing is clearly a stylistic (rhythmical) device

I love the moment around 2'25 where the breathing becomes uncannily deep

the song is of course Don't Leave Me Now

 

Roxy Music - Sunset (in the middle)

 

Rick Springfield in a numbers of songs -- Souls -- Love Is Alright Tonite -- Don't Talk to Strangers

 

Barry White - I'm gonna love you

 

Same guy - Deep Purple: Soldier of Fortune

 

The Beach Boys - Sufrin.
It's clearly audible Mike's breath between "Surf! Surf!" and "Bom-bom-dip-dip-drip".

 

His "processes" simply remind me he's a smoker.

 

Also, the tail end of "The Bogus Man".

 

Isn't there breathing in Kate Bush's Breathing? The last track on the Never for Ever album.

 

Spoon - Stay Don't Go

 

Good point! You can only imagine his records in 15-20 years' time...

 

Oscar Peterson on his "exclusively for my friends" releases.
