OT: great voices

[jimazee]

I don't think anyone has posted this all-time musician and activist whose "voice" was more than simply beautiful.

You got me there -- never heard of her. This is why I post threads like this. I love to be clued into stuff like this, although this one really isn't my cuppa.

Thanks for your response. I posted this snippet to show her "live" but I certainly understand if it's not your "cuppa." I think that I first saw her on the Ed Sullivan Show singing the attached song, which should give you a better feeling about this Inca Princess, as she was called. I also hope you like the beautiful video of Machu Picchu and Peru.

Can't forget this fellow doing Old Man River:

You and @Sifaka , two peas in a pod with the spoken stuff!

What a fine podmate! Thanks for placing me there. Not sure if HAL would help me out like that.

And now Marilyn McCoo.

Did we miss Karen Carpenter?

Then there is the Canadian Songbird.

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

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.

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:

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

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

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.

Liked her early years
