OT: great voices

[Ozimoto]

Did we miss Karen Carpenter?

 

[Ozimoto]

Then there is the Canadian Songbird.

 

[Ozimoto]

And another from down under. This is my favorite Olivia Newton John song.

 

[Hoops66]

This is an American group that perform French music very well. Nataly Dawn is delightful and the group is very talented.
They have several other songs worth listening to if you like this one. The groups name is Pomplamoose.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Did we miss Karen Carpenter?

One of the first artist I thought about in this thread.

On certain songs I really love Bob Dylan's voice - like this one:

 

[meyers7]

Rather some of the pretty voices on here, I prefer bluesy, unique voices. Such as this one. Noah Hunt. Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, but Noah does most of the singing. (and then you get Kenny's guitar work)

Blue On Black

 

[FairView]

This lady could sing - Cass Elliot

 

[meyers7]

Another unique voice I like. Mac Powell from Third Day (Christian band). They disbanded a couple years ago and he is on his own now with some family members. Cool thing is he sounds exactly the same live and recorded.

I Need A Miracle - Third Day

 

[Ozimoto]

Some think Brad Delp from Boston had a great voice. I tend to agree.

I think Delp was a great lead singer.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Speaking of great lead singers.

 

[Ozimoto]

David Lee Roth certainly had a powerful voice. Not sure I would classify it as great in terms of range or smoothness, but for the type of music Van Halen was known for, he certainly fit the bill.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

One of my favorite artist.

 

[Ozimoto]

This lady (Beverly Bivens) had a unique sound. Unfortunately, we didn't hear much more from her, or this group beyond this song.

 

[Ozimoto]

Here is a group from England with great vocal talent. Sort of the English version of the Righteous Brothers.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Barbara Long of Hiroshima had one of the purest voices I've ever heard.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Another artist from Baltimore.

 

[Centerstream]

Liked her early years

Dennis Yost of the Classics Four had a great voice.

 

[Ozimoto]

David Clayton Thomas of Blood Sweat and Tears was pretty good too!

 

[Conndog]

David Clayton Thomas of Blood Sweat and Tears was pretty good too!

Great song!

To add to the 'Bluesy & Unique' theme:
Kent Dykes/Omar And The Howlers - Hard Times In The Land Of Plenty

 

[64Zcode]

Rockabilly artist Robert Gordon with guitar work by Link Wray - Woman(You're My Woman)
I generally like deep, male voices. This isn't Basso Profundo, but he gets pretty low.

 

[64Zcode]

I like Sammy Hagar for a bunch of reasons; car guy, rocker, musician, singer....
This is probably my most listened-to song of his. This is a live, almost acoustic version of 'Eagles Fly'
Very tasty guitar work from EVH near the end.
Sammy can get into the high registers pretty well, not so much in this version, but certainly in the studio version of this.

Frank Sinatra - Summer Wind:

 

[quavik]

Here's Steve Katz singing and The Blues Project playing an old chestnut (56 years ago, btw Catch the Wind is the first song Donovan ever wrote):



I haven't heard this in several years and am struck by the transmogrification of song lyrics from then to now. I try not to think it's a reflection of the degree we have changed as a society....

The Doobie Brothers Michael McDonald:
