Oleta Adams (just because she never got the props she deserved) 10.Barry White (how low can you go?) Good list. I agree with all of them. I love the deep, breathy sound of Oleta Adams' voice, and Karen Carpenter's sad voice always makes me cry. I'd add Deniece Williams and Minnie Riperton to the list, probably my favorite R&B female vocalists. | |

Since you said "voices" and not just singers, I took into account the uniqueness of the voice as well as the emotion and image it can project. These are the voices I most enjoy hearing. In no order mine are:
Sade Michael Jackson Prince 2pac Maxwell Chaka Khan Marvin Gaye Luther Vandross If we can go to 10 then add: Barry White & Curtis Mayfield Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance

Using the "best VOICES in music" is so wide open categorically, 8 is a hard number to conform to, but here goes...
Jazz: Nat King Cole Billie Holiday R&B: Donny Hathaway Sam Cooke Aretha Franklin Chaka Kahn (Narrowed down to voices, IMO, so many others have tried to emulate.) Pop: KD Lang Rock: Paul Rodgers tA  Tribal Disorder

It ain't even fair to limit this to eight, but...
Marvin Gaye Aretha Franklin Al Green Ron Isley Chaka Khan Donny Hathaway Barbara Sreisand Minnie Ripperton [This message was edited Tue Aug 24 11:14:59 2004 by paligap] " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

First and foremost: David Bowie (all you non-believers need to listen to his version of "Wild Is The Wind" and call me once your heart palpitations settle)
then, in no specific order: Annie Lennox ('nuff said) Sade (the woman can sneeze and make it sound like sex) Prince (well, duh) David Byrne (seriously - listen to how he could scream with the best of 'em on old Talking Heads albums, and how he can hold his own with opera on his latest album) Kier Kirby (it's a crime that she's not still recording with that gorgeous voice) Todd Rundgren (i've just gotten into his music this year, and i'm blown away at how great his voice is) Sly Stone (for me, it's still about that little screech at the end of "family affair", but there are few voices sexier than Sly's) and of course, cuz no list could be complete without 'em, Janis Joplin and Mama Cass.  | |

(Prince is always my default favorite.) | |
