Bdp24, I'm surprised to hear you say that about rs...granted he's a sellout and, by most accounts, a true douche, but he was a great singer back in the day....

@bdp24 i agree with you on the greatness of steve marriott, who may be the best rock voice of the 60s/early 70s, but he was very obviously (if adeptly) aping his black influences. stewart, otoh, never struck me as especially derivative--if nothing else he had his own sound. which, of course, you may not like, but it is distinctive. as for richard manuel, he was likewise incredible, but unlike others i never heard that much ray charles in his voice |
