Decided a few hours ago to call it a day with my girlfriend of 7 years, so I thought I'd start a thread on T2W to help me cope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE SINGING MALE and FEMALE voice of all time?
Now this is going to be controversial, because it will depend on the style(s) of music you prefer. But I'd like you to be open-minded and acknowledge accomplished singers in genres of music not to your taste. I assume those among us of, shall I say, more mature years, will have a wider selection from which to choose.
What I'm seeking here is singers that are timeless, classic, and will always be regarded as awesome. When they sing, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, they send a shiver down your spine. You know what I mean. However, this is NOT necessarily the record that was playing when you met your childhood sweetheart... and evokes all the emotions you felt at that time.
Now clearly there will be many contenders. I've given this careful consideration, and I propose Nat King Cole as the best male voice. Yes, when he sings the hairs of my neck twitch. Elvis Presley...... hmmmmmmm. Frank Sinatra? hhhhmmmmmmm.... Michael Jackson? How about Louis Armstrong?
Now, females. Equally difficult choice of course.
Again I'd have to go with a black singer. Aretha Franklin. Yep, when she sings I am moved. No sorry, changed my mind. Ella Fitzgerald. Damn, I can't decide. But then there are many female voices that are on a par perhaps. Whitney Houston, Maria Carey, Diana Ross.....
So, there you have it. Nat King Cole - best male voice. Ella Fitzgerald - best female.
I very much look forward to alternative selections of equal merit.
Don't forget, the only stipulation is that their voice must send a shiver down your spine.
