Unfortunately I do not recall her name. I got the following reply from "watpink", our "Sixth Generation Pink Floyd Trivia Expert System": QUERY: Who was the name of the female singer who did the wailing on Pink Floyd's "Breath" from the "Dark Side of the Moon" LP. REPLY: i know the name. let me think. incidentally it is Breathe not Breath. AHA! Clare (claire?) Torre. she is great. Pretty nifty, eh? Thanks Sumo.
