OT: Distinctive Male Voices

[meyers7]

One of the main reasons they wouldn't let Don Felder sing.....they had Don Henley

I was fortunate to see him in the '60's and then again 40 years later:

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

Bryan Adams EVERYTHING I DO I DO IT FOR YOU

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

Johnny Hartman IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

As you can tell I'm a hopeless romantic!

Garth Brooks THE DANCE

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

OK, I'll leave the computer now! But you have to admit they're all DISTINCTIVE MALE VOICES!

Charlie Rich SINCE I FELL FOR YOU!

 

[Kaizen]

As you can tell I'm a hopeless romantic!

Garth Brooks THE DANCE

I love this song and Garth Brooks.

I was going to mention John Facenda but then I realized that all, even Boston fans, must bow to Bob Shepard.

Love thus old tune by him, IMO his most beautiful:

Bono...singing my fave U2 song...

No mention of Ian Anderson? Very distinctive style, and good on the flute, as well.

I was fortunate to see him in the '60's and then again 40 years later:

I saw Richie at least twice in the 70's. Richie was an exciting performer. He was also very talkative. Unfortunately at that time Richie also was edentulous. Therefore most of his concert sounded like this: "Blahblahblahblah blahblah, blahblahblah. Right?" Right Ritchie. Now please just sing man.

Johnny Hartman IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING

Try that album with John Coltrane. THE classic horn/vocal duo record. Then give a listen to the new Marsalis/Ellis record "Upward Spiral", the modern classic and equivalent.

 

[JordyG]

Lou Rawls

The classic duo by two distinctive voices, Lou Rawls and Sam Cooke. Sam Cooke is the most copied voice in pop. The first black gospel singer (from The Soul Stirrers) to go "Pop" and take the rhythms, style, and songs of many gospel songs and use them for pop music thereby creating "Soul" music. Cooke was also the first African-American singer to own his own publishing rights. Some say he was murdered for those rights. Everyone stole something from his vocal style from Rod Stewart to Lionel Ritchie to Ne-yo.

Yes KnightBridge, great call, cannot overlook Ian Anderson:

JordyG- - - WOW! Thank you! Just heard "My One And Only Love" with Coltrane & Hartman on YOUTUBE, great sound! I'll have to get me some of that!
