Watch The Sound with Mark Ronson has premiered on Apple+ and the first episode features Mark and Sean Ono Lennon messing around in the studio with John Lennon’s song “Hold On,” from his Plastic Ono Band album.

The fascinating episode, which explores the history and uses for auto-tune, includes Lady Gaga, Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, T-Pain, King Princess, Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend and many others.

Offsetting the fact-driven style of the rest of the program, this heart-warming moment from episode one finds Sean Ono Lennon teaming up with Ronson at his studio to rework John Lennon’s 1970 track, “Hold On.” When Lennon puts the original vocal take through the Harmony Engine, he specifically notes how his father would’ve cherised the opportunity to play around with this technology. “The Beatles and my dad, they were always on the cutting edge of what was happening,” he says.
