Printablejacktheimprovident said: I think Hendrix WAS a great singer in terms of inflection, timing, phrasing, delivery etc. which are the same qualities that make Bob Dylan a great singer, and if you think about it, the same is true for Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday Louis Armstrong, Chuck Berry and a host of others.
None of the aforementioned people are the utmost exemplars in terms of vocal range or technical perfection, but few would argue with their expressiveness. You can certainly hear Dylan's influence in Hendrix's voice but Hendrix also was an influence in his own right. Just listen to Rasberry Beret again sometime, P's singing in that song owes a great deal to Jimi's style of phrasing. yup  | |

Just listen to Rasberry Beret again sometime, P's singing in that song owes a great deal to Jimi's style of phrasing. I agree about his phrasing. And I'm sensitive to that. . . there are artists that I can't stand more or less JUST because of their phrasing (*cough*Morrissey*cough*). I guess I just don't like the sound of his voice. But no complaints about how he used it. oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |
