_Annabelle_ 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 I've always thought Steve Winwood and Jack Bruce (Cream) did pretty good vocals for their respective '60's groups so honorable mention to them . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windy1 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 I've always thought Steve Perry, Steve Winwood, and Don Henly had the best voices in rock, just for the sheer effortless quality with which they hit and maintain those notes. A comment going back a couple of posts. Concerning that walk that Chuck Berry "used" to do. He called it the duck walk. Honey that man still does it, every couple weeks at a club in St Louis called Blueberry Hill, in what else- The Duck Room. We go down there every so often and let me tell you, that man still rocks. He's 75!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aunt_Acid 1 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 Levi Stubbs....The Four Tops. I totally agree. Levi Stubbs rocked. Black guys have some of the coolest and most interesting voices. Like Louis Armstrong. And Otis Redding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Levi Stubbs was the voice of the plant in the movie, "Little Shop of Horrors" ---- "Feed me!" He should have won an Oscar in the Best Man-Eating Plant category.

Carl 22 Report post Posted August 26, 2004 Guys like Sam Cooke, David Ruffin and Bill Withers are my pick, but on the Rock side, how about Gregg Allman? I can't think of any other Rock vocalist who sings with such passion, yet makes it easy to understand the words, even live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoulGirl 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2004 i'm resurrecting this thread to say: 1) i'm proud to have discovered that the beautiful jeff was discussed on these boards before my arrival albeit far too infrequently 2) that jeff is the most beautiful singer i've ever heard, my favourites of his (voice wise) probably being (it's so hard to choose) lover, you should've come over, everybody here wants you and calling you (on the sin-é legacy) and 3) nobody mentioned jack black - he has an incredible voice but it isn't recognised because of his comedic context! also not mentioned (i think) morrissey - his work with the smiths was perfect. oh and i'm loving the guy from scissor sisters voice right now. other honourable mentions definitely go to freddie mercury (wow), tim buckley (shivers), al green (such technique), billy corgan (perfect for his music), kurt cobain (so d*mn angsty) and so many many others..... i can't list them all! also a few irish boys - glen, mark, damo, kittser, q... etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flibble12345 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2004 Of course Freddie is legendary. However, I have to say Hansi Kürsch from Blind Guardian. One of the only men who can make high pitch wails sound incredibly manly. I envy his range Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
