Cher made you believe there was life after love and gave your singing career hope with the introduction of autotune. Autotune was introduced in the 80s and a young T-Pain paid close attention.
Autotune gives those tonally challenged a breath of life in terms of producing music to match their imagination. Here are 10 of the best or latest songs that utilize autotune.
