Pick a singing voice

I thought when I clicked this it would’ve about speaking voices. For that I defer to the late, great Ernie Anderson

 
THE VOICE - Deep Purple's Ian Gillan pretty much drops the mic...





If you don't want to listen to constant stoppages and analysis.

812 - The first time I heard Cornell, I thought he was the re-incarnation of Ian Gillan.
 
Steve Perry. One of those rare elite voices that sounds as good or even better live than on an album.

Thanks! Changed the title of the thread.
If we were doing speaking voices, I'd want to sound like Bill Nighy. But in his recent movie Living. he sings a folk song that will bring you to tears. BTW. I recommend Living which apparently made it to around 5 theaters in this country.
 
No mention of Barry White? Really?

Good lord people, the sheer number of kids born simply because of that man's voice is uncountable, lol.

That man could have gotten laid until he turned 100, had he lived that long.

Give me his voice all day and twice on Sunday's.
 
Lowell George.

To the Sammy Hagar lovers, he was Night Ranger if he didn't happen into VH. Yeah, he had some hits on his own, but he is a B list rocker, A list self promoter. I said it.

So many great voices I love, but it’s hard to go against Chris Cornell. His cover of “Thank You” is otherworldly.

 
I’m not going with the obvious like Steve Perry or Freddie Mercury.

I’m going with Mickey Thomas. The dude is 72 years old and still sings those Starship songs in the original key. Absolutely amazing what he can do with his voice still at that age.
