Just musing on how voices are distinctive.
of course there's Arthur - whatever he says about singing any style his mellow tones prevail. We're on itunes here and I've been Naming That Vocalist - just amazed at how many are distinctive: Sandy Denny, Lennon, Bolan of course,
and though we'd say folk is a genre, it's easy to spot pete seeger, martin/liza carthy, john martyn, joan baez, dylan, guthrie, roger chapman, joni...
I was queueing (unsuccessfully) for Dylan tickets when we read in the papers that Sandy Denny died.
I know all things must pass etc but realising we'll never hear anything like some of them live again is a bit tough. at least we can find recordings...
Keep on shining |

Hi Lizzyb...how r u?
I thought I had read that Sandy Denny had died many years ago. She was in a group once named Fotheringay...a great LP
Roger Chapman sure does have a unique voice...one that you wouldn't forget
How about Terry Reid
Delores O'Riordan from the Cranberries
Peter Rowan from Earth Opera
Mike Harrison from Spooky Tooth and several solo LP's
