Enough of this Singers' voices you cayn't stayund... negativity, Who makes you weep, melt or hum with joy?

Paul Rodgers

Aretha Franklin

Matt Monro

IanSavage

Tom Waits. Purely for the fact that you can do this with it, convincingly:

Loving Robert Plant's mature voice (in excellent use on the new album).

Also Dylan's croaky rasp on the "Time out of Mind" album, especially on "Love Sick"

It was a privilege to hear Kate Bush singing live the other week so she must get a mention, again her mature voice is sounding fantastic.

Dusty Springfield as well, I've only got "Dusty in Memphis" but wow what a voice.

oh lord, too many to mention, but one I keep going back to is Gillian Welch.

 

then the ultimate male folk voice for me would have to be John Tams.

Dio. What a set of pipes he had!

Ian Gillan.

Bon Scott.

John Lydon (no sniggering at the back there).

Jackie Leven.

They're just a few off the top of my head but there's so, so many.
