I know what you mean mate, take Bob Dylan, I don't think anyone would say he had a good singing voice but he does put plenty into it. Still don't like Cilla's singing though.....
Karen Carpenter Judith Durham (The Seekers) Gretchen Peters Suzy Boggus Joan Armatrading Kate Rusby Suzanne Vega so many more aren't there
Annie Haslam and Olivia Sparnenn were both sounding good on the drive back from Norwich last evening.
Ann Wilson has a great voice - One of my favourite singers for many many years - but I prefer her singing her own material especially the early Heart stuff - a random classic from before they went a bit more commercial
