Your Favourite Singing Voices

[Theblip]

Which male and female singers have your favourite voices? My favourite male singing voices are Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Nat King Cole, John Lennon, and (though I appreciate this voice is very Marmite) Bob Dylan. My favourite female singing voices are Shirley Bassey, Stacey Kent, Susanna Hoffs, Linda Ronstadt, and Tammy Wynette

'Lady Day' is Billie Holiday's nickname, Barsel.

I think Sia has an amazing voice.

And Lady Gaga. Shallow is a beautiful song and her voice is stunning.

For me, no one can beat the voice of Karen Carpenter .

So effortless and melodic

The Norwegian soprano, Sissel.

Not necessarily wonderful singers but voices I like

MALE: Rod Stewart, David Bowie,Neil Diamond, Dylan, Neil Hannan, Bing Crosby, Alfie Bow, Matt Monro, Nat King Cole. Pat Boone.

Female : very few these days, but those who don't screech warble and go through their vocal range. So Eva Cassidy, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitgerald. I did like listening to Adelle, but her personality has now put me off!

I forgot Karen Carpenter and her amazing voice!

Thanks Ken, I didn't know that.

[Apc2604]

I do Baxile

Shaney, I agree with most of your list too! I don't know who Udo Jurgens is, and how could I have forgotten George Harrison?

[bigbanana]

Eva Cassidy without doubt. I'll always be grateful to the late Terry Wogan for bringing her to the attention of millions years after her death.

[Arksided]

No one could ever match Lord Mercury of Lucan for me, that 'Galileo' bit mid Bo Rhap is awesome ;-)

As for the ladies Whitney had an amazing voice and Patti LaBelle.

[shaneystar2]

Found him on YouTube Shaney. Lovely voice and very attractive too in his younger days.

//when I first discovered I could 'burn' my own CDs, Beefheart's 'Mirror Man' was one of the first on my list//

Orange Claw Hammer was always my jam. That's made many a compilation over the years!

[Deskdiary]

Linda Clifford, Jean Carne, Patrice Rushen, Stacey Lattisaw, Chaka Khan, Teddy Pendergrass, George Clinton, Luther Vandross, Alex O’Neil, Rick James etc...

But the absolute king is Stevie Wonder who is my hero.

Can you sense a theme?
