According to the official Telefunken-Elecktroakustik site: "Top indie band The National has completed their sixth studio album, "Trouble Will find Me." Lead singer and founder Matt Berninger picked a new U-47 large diaphragm tube microphone from TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik for his self-described "immediate and visceral" vocals."

In this video, at minute 0:28, Frank can be seen using the U47 in a recording session.

A Sound on Sound interview featuring recording engineer John Palladino mentions that Sinatra first used the mic when he signed with Capitol Records.

"Another advantage to the U47 was the directional pattern that favoured the voice and didn't allow it to be drowned out by the orchestra. That's why it got to be tremendously popular and became an industry standard in the days when singers like Frank Sinatra recorded in the studio with the band.”

This article by Home Brew Audio states that "Frank loved it so much that he insisted on using no other mic after 1950. He called it his 'Telly.'"

The microphone is also depicted in the artwork for Duets and Duets II.

"I usually record John through a Telefunken U47 from the late 40s. That’s usually my go-to mic on John — I found that I really like him through the classic U47. It’s just such a fantastic mic, it has a lot of great clarity and body for him. John’s a pretty strong singer, and that mic seems to take it pretty well.

It’s worth noting that I’ve recorded all his vocals on the album to tape. That adds some nice upper harmonics, and it has a very nice saturation and character to it. This vocal has a dark slap-back delay.

Mostly, the signal path would be a U47 going to a Universal Audio 1176, or sometimes an LA2A compressor. Preamp-wise mostly we went through Neve 1073’s or 1081’s. I’m going for character, that’s the main thing. I don’t want neutral, I want character. The 1176 or the Neve impart character on it."

"When we recorded her earlier CDs, I was using an old Telefunken U 47 that needed a lot of EQ tweaking to get the sound I wanted." - Pierre Marchand, Sarah McLachlan's producer, quoted on the True Systems website.

In an image of Jonas Bjerre's mic booth, it is clear that he uses a Telefunken U47 microphone for his home studio setup. This is confirmed by the caption accompanying the photo from an interview with Martin Yam Møller.

In this Instagram post for a Doritos ad, Harlow is seen in the studio with the Telefunken U47.

James Brown is known to have used the Telefunken U47 microphone, as evidenced by a 1967 studio session image featuring his drummer, Clyde Stubblefield, provided courtesy of Alan Leeds.

According to this July 27, 2017 Mix Online interview with producer Al Schmitt, a Telefunken U47 was used for Krall's vocals on Turn Up the Quiet.

“The Neumann U47 sounded fantastic on Diana,” Schmitt says. “It’s my go-to vocal mic, the same one Sinatra used on his Capitol records. I placed it about five or six inches from Diana. I also used a Neve 1073 preamplifier and just a touch of my Fairchild 660 compressor for the warmth of its tubes, compressed a dB or two. I ran Diana’s voice through Capitol Echo Chamber #4, blended with my Bricasti Design [Model 7 Stereo] reverb to get the sound that I want.”

Despite Schmitt's mention of Neumann, Sinatra's U47 is famous for bearing the Telefunken brand. Krall's use of it is supported by the fact that Turn Up the Quiet was recorded at Capitol Studios.

It is also mentioned by Schmitt in this July 15, 2015 Voice Council Magazine interview.

The U47 – that’s the one I used on Bublé, Paul McCartney and so many others. (...) For Diana Krall and Paul McCartney (and others) I used a Neumann Tube U47 into Neve Preamp and then into a Fairchild compressor. That, to me, is the ultimate.
