Singers who's voices you quite frankly really like, or are, in your opinion, really GOOD

[Worthingite]

Just to balance things.

Dusty Springfield
John Lyon (Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes) - second greatest thing to come out of Asbury Park.
Steve Knightley and Phil Beer (Show of Hands - I think there may be at least one other fan who reads this board)
Tom Russell.
Gretchen Peters.
Gregory Porter.

..Over to you.

Hello!!!!!! That's what I call PROPER music!!!!

 

[foul old ron]

Sophie Ellis Bextor. With so many mainstream female singers sounding the same to me, this lady has a very distinctive voice.

 

[Norman Potting]

He's wonderful isn't he? Also top of my wish list of acts to see perform live.

The original lineup of the Blasters joint headlining with original Feelgoods somewhere local that I could walk home from - in my dreams!

[Norman Potting]

Sadly this will be lost on most!

Indeed - managed about 10 seconds of his work. Believe John Peel was a fan, or at least played it. At least you can understand what Lemmy is singing.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Well, support for Show of Hands, Nat King Cole and Bob Dylan. All seriously good.

What about the Singing Nun and the Three Tenors ? Buddy Holly,, Bobby Vee and Screamin' Lord Sutch ?

And the lady who sang Pie Jesu whose name escapes me.

And Mick, Eddie and Mark "doing" Sussex by the Sea ?

 

[jimbob5]

Edwin Collins, Steve Marriott, Laura Nyro, Nick Drake

 

[lawros left foot]

Three ladies, Joan Osbourne, Judy Tzuke, and the inimitable, Annie Lennox

 

[METALMICKY]

Nat King Cole by some distance and that's coming from a fanatical Iron Maiden fan!

 

[El Presidente]

Eddie Vedder
Ian Curtis
Levi Stubbs
Johnny Cash

 

[spence]

Karen Carpenter and John Lennon

For me John Lennon has the ultimate male voice.

I also very much like Freddie Mercury's voice
