Good Voices; Robert Cray Jack Russell (Great White) Clapton Jimmie Vaughan Powerful Voices; Paul Rodgers Ann Wilson Amy Lee David Coverdale Sexy Voices; Amy lee Linda Ronstadt Pat Benatar Teri Nunn Lita Ford Unique Voices; Leon Russell Leon Redbone Stevie Ray Vaughan Robert Plant (looking at his entire career, it's a very unique voice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golem Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 ` Mose Allison Dr. John Taj Mahal Dave Van Ronk Tom Waits Barry White Howlin Wolf Joan Baez Astrud Gilberto Odetta Holmes Aretha Franklin Ricki Lee Jones Janis Joplin Nina Simone This is not about who I admire most, find most musical or talented, or is simply a favorite. It's to answer the question in the OP. So, there's basically two 'themes' in the female list, and only one in the male list. Female swings between powerful or sexy [you figger out which ones is which] and the men are "unique" ... in the usual oxymoronic way we now commonly use that word. IOW, they all "share a unique characteristic" ... Kinda like sandpaper, they're not in themselves smooth, but they can make other things smoother. ` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Nahum Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Who's voices have made an impression on you over the years?...Accents and speech impediments aside, what remarkable or unique voices have stayed with you? Probably the one that has stuck most, because of the amazing bell-like quality of her voice, is Yungchen Lhamo. http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=yungchen+lhamo&meta=&aq=0&aqi=g8&aql=&oq=yungchen+&gs_rfai= She lived in Australia for a while after escaping from Tibet where she was regarded as a Buddhist diva. I had the great fortune to hear her live.
