DECtalk has a built-in singing voice - to hear it sing "Strangers in the
Night" is an experience that, for those who have heard it, will not soon
be forgotten.

There is a large research effort on synthesized singing at the Royal
Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. Any competent engineering
or linguistics library should have the "Quarterly Progress Reports"
(QPSR) from the Speech Transmission Laboratory. Also, there was an article
in a fairly recent Scientific American by one of the KTH researchers.
