Great Vocalists

[LeakyValve]

Remiss to not dip my lid to the great Helen Reddy.
Helen was never afraid to let that nasally Oz twang loose in a performance.
And lets have something else instead of her go to signature anthem.

Sam Cooke. Another singer who passed far too early.

 

[LeakyValve]

Have a vague memory of Guy Pearce and Aaron Pedersen belting this out in an episode of Jack Irish. They were in Roy Billing's Ford Fairlane at the the time (I think).
Col could sing.

 

[THE A5]

Agree with OP i like Danzigs voice. I also love Waylons voice during the early to mid 70's

 

[Supersuns]

Chris Cornell does it for me as one of the all time greats

 

[Mesc]

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

At Last, Etta James.

 

[Mesc]

At Last, Etta James.

The days where you didn’t make it is as a singer unless you could sing and Auto-Tune was something you read about in science fiction novels .

Always loved Dwid's vocal delivery. The sound of the devil screaming in anger.



Integrity are the darkest sounding band. Their guitarist Dom puts it down to the vocals.

I saw Graham Bonnet last year at the Corner Hotel. One of the all-time great rock vocalists. Still cranking out songs too!

 

[utility]

I saw Geoff Tate earlier this year. Not a Queensryche fan myself but an incredible voice.

Michale Graves didn't last long in the Misfits but has a great voice.

Change of pace...

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Frankie Valli.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

This is a wonderful tune that I first heard and loved as an 11 year old kid. I had no idea what it was about, still don't, but I loved his singing. Again another who died too young. Kyu Sakamoto was killed in a plane crash in Japan in 1985.

 

[LeakyValve]

Maybe not the greatest range, but nobody could snap a vowel or consonant in half like this gal. Dinah owns this.

 

[Exe Gesis]

yodeling without yodeling

 

[Exe Gesis]

 

[Exe Gesis]

mystical voice

 

[Exe Gesis]

[Mesc]

[Exe Gesis]

[Mesc]

[Mesc]

Another cool movie moment
