Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?


There have been successful singers in almost any style that realistically did not have a "golden" voice.  Perhaps guilty pleasures.  Who are yours?

I too, was surprised to see Gary Brooker's name on this list. Here is another sterling performance.

 

 

I liked Sue Foley, after several years of listening to her I'm done. Her pipes are horrid on most songs. 

Somebody mentioned Carole king, not a bad voice at all, great on her one good album.  And Roy Orbison had a voice like a song bird. Funny he's on here. 

Gary Brooker sounds vocally quite nice.

Shlomo Carlebach had a wavery and raspy voice as evidenced here when he was in his prime. The feeling is there but the voice when heard on a high end system, oh boy, rough! When Alberto Mizrahi sings these, wow! Like Pavarotti singing.
