The most iconic voices in Music

[BIG BLUE GURU]

These artists had multiple hits and in the business for years. The thing that sets them apart to me is their amazing voices.

1. Stven Tyler ---- Dude could do things with his voice nobody else can.
2. Stevie Nicks -- Just an amazing voice that as soon as you hear her sing you know exactly who it is.
3. Tom Keifer ---- Same as Stevie Nicks
4. Keith Whitley - Died way to soon but for about 5 years tore up the country charts.

Of all the singers I listed the one thing all of them also have in common is they have so much raw emotion in their voice they literally can make you feel the song as you lived it. Truly amazing.

I wonder if there is anyone in the entire world besides the OP who would put Tom Keifer (lead singer of Cinderella) on a short list of the “most iconic voices in music?”

Mariah Carey - Five octaves, easily hit whistle register, and great timbre.
Whitney Huston - Three octaves, no vibrato, emotive singer.
Celine Dione - Power.
Tom Petty - Always know it's him. lol

I believe I read there was some 49 year old in Bangladesh that had Tom Keifer in his top 5.

Tom Keifer would be in my top ten. I wouldn’t have included him on a list because of backlash.

He’s incredible really though.
