Your Favorite Voices and Singers Male & Female?

I'm not a Tom Jones fan Per se... he was my mother Era... I grew up listening to his songs on the radio, and because of that always felt he was an old person's singer. Of course now I realise he's a brilliant singer.. I mean dismissing him as an easy listening singer etc.. is doing that man an injustice, he could sing the phone book and make it sound brilliant..

..so I think of all popular singers, he's the King... he can sing without music without going off key, he can sing any Genre of music and make it sound brilliant...

... but of course I have my own favourite singers, but they usually can only sing in their own style and genre...like Willie Nelson, and Neil Diamond, and James Taylor...for example

Funny you should say that, I was of the same opinion and for the same reasons. I think we all develop a different appreciation for thing as we get older. An appreciation for many different things that was never appreciated when we were younger. No doubt every generation goes through it, and always will.

Matt Munro, a favourite of my dadā€™s. I gained an appreciation of him through my dad. And through watching a rerun of the 1966 movie, Born Free. And later the movie ā€˜The Italian Jobā€™ (opening scene), when the movie was shown on TV as a kid, where Matt is singing, On Days Like These.

Matt Munro, the British Frank Sinatra??

I convinced myself I wasnā€™t going to post another video. Oh well.

Oh dear, this baby boomer's taste in music goes back much further. Influenced by dance I do so love dancing The Rumba to Dean Martin's "Sway."

How we love the combined voices of The Andrews Sisters, how we love jiving to The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.

I have to admit my favourite group singers are The Bee Gees. Their harmonies and perfect. Tom Jones, Nat King Cole, Englebert Humperdinck,
Mario Lanza, Frank Sinatra, Any type of Latin American music, and any music from the great movies, Oklahoma, South Pacific, The King and I, Annie Get Your Gun, Carousel. Meet me in St. Louis. Easter Parade. I can go on for ages. These are just a few. These are all feel good movies.

I discovered Matt Munro when I was stationed in France. I sometimes hopped over to England on time off and that's where I heard him for the first time. Loved his voice at once. When he came to the US years later, I'd go to Vegas once in awhile to see one of his shows.
 
I was at first never a fan of Freddie Mercury. I didnā€™t dislike him, I just wasnā€™t that interested. Then I saw him on Live Aid; singing and running around the stage. He seems to sing when heā€™s shouting too. Somehow I see him as still being alive.

Here warming up with the audience. Whoā€™s doing the better warm up, Freddie or the audience? What a showman.
