Biography:
Pete Drake was a major Nashville, Tennessee-based record producer and pedal steel guitar player.
In 1964 he had an international hit on Smash Records with his "talking steel guitar" playing on the album 'Forever'. His innovative use of what would be called the "talk box" added novel effects to the pedal steel guitar. (Later used by artists Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh and Jeff Beck.)

Other songs:
This is a great song that I discovered recently, and it was Pete Drake's
big hit in 1964. It uses an early version of the talk box, and Drake was
the first person to use it with a steel guitar. The C's and F's are
actually jazz chords, so if you want it to sound a little closer use
a C6 and an F6, but the regular chords sound fine since you sing
the 6ths.
