Highlights her range and a good pick for a favorite. First saw them in 1972 I think it was and then several times after, last being at Infinity in Norfolk in 2011.

Melissa Bonny is better-known for a couple of other bands. This came out when she was about 21 or 22. It's from one of my favorite albums of the last ten years or so, but she left them soon after. None of her other stuff is nearly as good.

Have to add Diana Krall. She has a husky, throaty, sexy voice. And a great reverence for old jazz standards.
We saw her last night at the Hollywood Bowl.

I did on the first page. But we think alike. He also had a great talking voice as well.

Saw Tony Bennett at the Meyerhoff concert hall in Baltimore with my wife and late mother in law. One of the best concerts I ever saw and delighted my mother in law who was a San Francisco native. RIP.

Glad you posted this - there are a lot of voices out there that no one would call 'great', but they carry so much more than just the tune. One of my favorites is:

Exactly - a particular voice, say on a particular song, can have impact you can't help but notice. A good example I think is Mick Jagger on "Moonlight Mile". I don't think he has a "great" voice by any definition, but his voice for the Stones fits in perfectly, and he sings M.M. with such conviction and beauty:
