OT: great voices

[TerpWomenFan]

I don't think anyone posted Lou Rawles yet, but after 10 pagers I could be wrong.

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

RIP Tony, and you too, had one great voice:

I just saw this. He was one of my favorite.

RIP Tony, and you too, had one great voice:

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.

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

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:

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

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:

How about Robin Gibb

[Ex Nutmegger]

Those were the days my friend by Mary Hopkin. Mary owned this song the way Frank Sinatra owned “My Way”.
Us older boneyarders(I’m 83) can easily identify with the general theme of this song.

 

[stormsurge]

Paul Frees was great

 

[Scud49]

The MonaLisa twins have delighful voices IMO:

This is the one Dylan song I enjoy hearing him sing. Otherwise I don't like his voice.

 

[Beemer]

Ive always thought Steve Winwood had the clearest most pure voice in Rock.

Love Steve Winwood. I don't know how many copies of his "Back In The High Life" cd I've gone through but it's a lot!

 

[Beemer]

Thanks to all you posters for presenting such awesome talent!
Many I hadn't heard before!

I think that is the best thing about these music threads- all the artists you've never heard before

 

[McFly]

Is it real, or............?

 

[McFly]

Eleven pages of great voices and nobody mentioned this guy?

 

[Ozimoto]

I was wondering that too!

 

[Bigboote]

I was wondering that too!

Shhhh . . . don't tell Geno we're not opera fans.

 

[FairView]

Here's a voice millions of us know, but don't know it's a wonderful singer named Marnie Nixon "She is now recognized as the singing voice of leading actresses on the soundtracks of several musicals, including Deborah Kerr in The King and I, Natalie Wood in West Side Story, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady, although her roles were concealed from audiences when the films were released."

 

[Bigboote]

And here’s one from Julie Andrews, the original Eliza Doolittle on Broadway:

 

[Scud49]

Oh boy, here's one I think we missed - the wonderful Sandy Denny of Fairport Convention:

 

[Ozimoto]

I don't remember seeing Isaac Hayes....

 

[Ozimoto]

Curtis Mayfield had a unique voice.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

If you are mentioning Isaac Hayes, you got to mention Barry White. Both of them are on this song together with a cameo of Ray Parker at the end of the video.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

I always thought El Debarge had a great voice.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Brilliant song by Quincy Jones with the awesome voices of Take 6. Their voices sound like musical instruments.
