" The human voice is the only instrument on the planet that pronounces words, so for God's sake, pronounce the words, and do not hide behind 'style', or your accompanying instrument(s)".....Giorgio Tozzi

Giorgio was a close friend of mine, when I lived in Malibu... We saw each other, with his wife Monty, every school day for about two years. He was also the vocal coach for Neil Diamond, Robert Plant, Barbra Streisand, and Frank Sinatra....among others, including Michael Llona, who vocals on This piece, 'My Lady' .........and this one, 'What Would You Do?'....Notice the similarity with all the aforementioned vocalists....you can hear EVERY word, sung.....He coached Robert Plant later in Plant's career, after Led Zeppelin.

Giorgio, also was a PhD. and professor at Julliard....

....Hope that answers your question!
