Favorite Male/Female Vocalist

[Runwildboys]

Always loved to hear the powerful voice coming from... Ronnie James Dio

And all that power coming from a 5'4" frame.

Eddie Vedder
Pat Benatar

Here is some Vedder from the "Into the Wild" soundtrack.

I was cranking this tune years back when a Christian group came to my door. We had a interesting conversation with me explaining the context.

There are so many, but for female how about Amy Winehouse and male Jim Morrison. Like I said I could add many to the list that have not already been mentioned. How about Axl Rose and Scott Weiland. Particular songs only go with certain voices.

This might sound crazy but it's true. There was a girl I dated and was briefly engaged to. Her sister was a Folk/Country singer who moved to Nashville to try and make it. Linda Ronstadt co-produced a album she started and sang backup vocals on some songs. Not sure if it was ever finished? My favorite of Linda's is Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me.

Morrison was another underrated voice considering he had no formal voice instruction.

Led Zep fans will appreciate this. It still gives me "chills" when I listen to it. Bonham's kid on the drums.

Went to Black and Blue Sunday at the Hartford Civic Center in 1980.
Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio having recently replaced Ozzy and Blue Oyster Cult. Great show.

This will date me. But this is another one of those classic smooth as satin voices. Stage outfits will get some laughs. Almost as bad as Karen Carpenter hair styles lol.

Freddy Mercury
Morrissey
George Michael
Steve Perry
Chris Isaak
Dean Martin
Frank Sinatra

Pat Benatar
Natalie Merchant
Kate Pierson

How about Meatloaf? I'll share what might not be well known. Derek St. Holmes, lead singer for much of Ted Nugent's "early, good stuff", quit in the middle of the Free-for-All album. Meatloaf stepped in for the last half of the album. Maybe not the best song to showcase his voice but I really love the song.
