Elvis Presley: there were a bunch 'o' singers in the late 50's and 60's that tried to copy his style, Paul Anca, Perry Como, Chuck Berry to name a few


Sam Cooke: possibly the greatest vocalist of all time. was the inspiration of many other soul vocalits such as Jackie Robinson, Wilson pickett & jerry Butler

El De Barge: inspired tons of male singers with his high pitched voice in the 70's and 80's

There are certain singers who have probably unintentionally created their own vocal stylings.

For Example.....

Mariah Carey (I think she was the first singer to start doing "scales" and "riffs" that you hear every r&b singer do now. Seems like Xtina took that shit and ran with it).

Green Day (They've spawned many sound a likes though they all suck. Every pop/punk band that has come out over the past 5 or so years has that annoying nasal twang, despite Billy Joe not sounding quite like that). Obviously Blink 182, Sum 41, and Good Charlotte were taking notes.

Kurt Cobain (kurt created the "constipated grunge groan", hehe (I made that up myself! Sound a likes include, Puddle of Mudd.

So who else can you add to this list?

Boy, there seems to be a lot of youngins on this topic.... Mariah and Whitney has never originated anything!!! Minnie, Patti, Aretha, Stephanie Mills, and probably a million others had these kind of styles, some before those chicks were even born! Russell Thompkins from the Stylistics and Phillip Bailey from E.W.F. was before El. Chuck berry was before Elvis.

Mariah bit her whole style off of MINNIE RIPERTON, all that shit she does with her voice is a copy of MINNE. Go check out Adventures In Paradise, Minnie's best Album IMO and you'll hear what I'm saying.

LaBelle anyone??

Yeah, Patti did start that. Many think Mariah started that, like her lambs still believe she started the rap remix trend...
