If you could have anyone's singing voice...

[Glennwillow]

I don't know how many people here frequent the Show & Tell section of the AGF, but I wanted to suggest that Sage97 (Ernie) has a super appealing singing voice. Every time he puts something up in Show & Tell I am amazed. Take a listen...

I can’t help but keep thinking (after reading 100+ relies), Peter Gabriel. Something so unique about an almost hoarse voice with such range, pitch, and emotion.

I replied earlier but wanted to add a couple more. I didn't mention female because the original questions was who would I like to sound like. So, if I were a lady:

Linda Rondstadt
Stevie Nicks
Sheryl Crow
Gretchen Peters (if you don't know her, check her out)
Alison Krauss

Males to add to my previous mentions:
Donald Fagen
Gordon Lightfoot
Steven Stills
and I know many would disagree, but Neil Young

Edited to add a Gretchen Peters clip:

Good call, Glenn, I agree. I'm always blown away by Ernie's sound when he put up one of his tunes. Hopefully he will see this and post more often!

[Silly Moustache]

obviously tom Jones OBE but also

Trey Hensley, great guitarist but totally under appreciated voice.

[Lkristians]

John Lennon
Tom Petty
Don Henley

There are tons of great vocalists... though I'm shocked I didnt see one nod for Steve Perry... so I'll go with him

Guess what Glenn. You sound like Ernie when you sing. You both have soft, pleasant voices. I would like to sound like you guys which would fit right in with my soft mellow guitar playing. I particularly like love songs and sad songs. They make me happy.

[6L6]

Roy Orbison. Greatest male singer of all time.

[dbintegrity]

Brad Delp... What a range he had.. and also Steve Walsh from Kansas

Well, thank you George!

I don't hear my voice sounding like Ernie's, but if you do, then I will certainly accept the compliment. It's very nice of you to make the comparison.

I think that among those of us who are singers that we do the best we can with what we've been given. I remember reading in James Taylor's biography that he was quoted as wishing that he was a real tenor rather than a baritone and that he wished he had more upper range. I think James Taylor has learned to do a lot more with his voice and obtain considerably better tone compared to when he first started out. But I can identify with his wish to have more upper range.

Art Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, Bobby Hatfield. Actually, just about anyone has a better singing voice than I do.

[The Bard Rocks]

Bob Dylan - I don't know anyone who is imitated more often.

[Greyhound]

One more shout out for Kenny Rankin. This concert is a master class in tone, breath control and nuance.
