Subject: 50 Great Voices-all genres- tell NPR who
From: katlaughing
Date: 14 Oct 09 - 11:10 AM

I have several people I will nominate for this, including Jean Ritchie, Jean Redpath, and a couple of others. It doesn't have to be just folk or trad, but those are two voices which fit the bill, as far as I am concerned, esp. going by the paragraph I have enphasised:

50 Great Voices: Send Us Your Nominations

October 5, 2009 - In January 2010, NPR will launch a year-long exploration of 50 of the great voices in recorded history. With the series, we're hoping to discover and re-discover awe-inspiring vocalists from around the world and across time. Through archival material, interviews and music, NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered will spend the year delving into the lives and legacies of these voices. But we don't know yet whose voices they'll be.

Between Oct. 5 and Oct. 16, we're asking you — NPR listeners and readers — to tell us who in the whole world possesses the most beautiful, singular voice you have ever heard. Leave your picks, along with a sentence defending each choice and a link to an audio clip if possible, in the comments below, or email GreatVoices@npr.org.

We'll compile your nominations, along with those of our panel of experts, academics and public-radio critics. At that point, we'll name the nominees and ask you to help us winnow them down to the 50 great voices we'll profile in the coming year. We're relying on you to remind us of those voices we may have forgotten or never got the chance to hear; those voices that may sound strange to Western ears; vocalists silenced by politics or history; the singers who are only really embraced by critics and those who are heroes of the everyday listener. No voice is too outlandish, too old or too compromised. It's All Voices Considered here, and we can't wait to see and hear what you send us.

The NPR story is here, with a link to an "audio slideshow" (2 minutes of audio & video), featuring the following as examples:

Celia Cruz
Aretha Franklin
Robert Plant
Marion Williams
Youssou N'Dour
Edith Piaf
Franco Corelli

You can post your nominations to the web site as a comment to the story above, or write to GreatVoices@npr.org.

As of this morning, there are more than 2500 comments on the story. They're going to have a good time working on this one!

For me, a good candidate is Roscoe Holcomb: as Bob Dylan said, "Roscoe Holcomb has a certain untamed sense of control, which makes him one of the best." He's the original inspiration for the term "high lonesome sound".

NPR is launching an endeaver to identify the 50 Greatest Voices of the last number of years - since recording began - I think.

It can be found here:

Sorry, I can't seem to make these things live:

Many of the people nominated I don't even recognize. I thought IRIS DEMENT should be on it.

I tried to post a couple names at the site on a couple of occasions, and it didn't work. I gave up--and on reflection, I think the idea is silly--how can you choose only fifty voices and even partially represent all the music that has ever been recorded, in all the cultures of the world?

Elvis, singing anything!

Kate Smith, singing "God Bless America"!
Hank Williams, singing "I'm so lonesome I could cry"!
Jim Stafford, singing "The Wildwood Weed!

To me, it all depends on the song. There are some songs that can only be sung by one person(or like that one person). Who else can sing "Big Bad John" but Jimmy Dean? "The Hockey Song, by Stompin Tom? "Respect", by Aretha? "Pretty Woman", by Roy Orbison?

But, Sarah Brightman does to me, what I suspect Elvis did to the girls!

I suppose it would be difficult to tell, but I have wondered how Americans "hear" British/Irish singers who try to sing in an American accents. As a Brit, I hear them - most of the time - as dreadful and phoney. But, I wonder, do Americans hear them as slightly exotic? Take Van Morrison, from the word go, I heard him as trying to sing American and it coming out phoney. I could almost see him twisting his vocal cords in an attempt to produce "foreign" (i.e American) sounds.

Tunesmith: I hear some of them as "slightly exotic" and others as "dreadful and phoney". Depends on whether the sound comes across as a vocal styling like Morrison's or as an imitation (Tracey Ullman's painfully unconvincing characterizations of Americans come to mind).

2. Ahmad Zahir: "The Voice Of The Golden Years", a pop singer in 1970s Afghanistan

If they're counting by size of audience over their career, there's no doubt Lata Mangeshkar would win by a vast margin (as she would also win by sheer volume of recordings) - as much as the next few contenders put together.

Caruso probably #2.

#3 maybe Oum Kolsoum, Sinatra or Elvis?

Actually, I think they have posted their full list, on this page.

They have emphasized, this was 50 Great Voices, not The 50 Greatest Voices. They were hoping to "discover and re-discover awe-inspiring vocalists from around the world and across time".

It's heavy on the Americans and American popular music (of various genres), of course, including Sinatra and Elvis, but Sandy Denny and June Tabor are there from . Popular music over all (even if multicultural), I would say, as opposed to much representation of singers of strict-definition traditional music (or even traditional singers ;-). But, reasonably diverse.

Here's an update. There are short blurbs for each on the "50 Great Voices" page:

5. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan: The Voice Of Pakistan
6. Asha Bhosle: The Voice Of Bollywood And More
7. Elis Regina: The Feeling Between The Notes
8. Umm Kulthum: 'The Lady' Of Cairo
9. Jackie Wilson: The Singer And The Showman
10. Ella Fitzgerald: America's First Lady Of Song
11. Esma Redzepova: 'Queen Of The Gypsies'
12. Sezen Aksu: The Voice Of Istanbul
13. Nat King Cole: An Incandescent Voice
14. Dennis Brown: The 'Crown Prince' Of Reggae
15. Roy Orbison: A Great Voice, A Lonely Sound
16. Radmilla Cody: Two Cultures, One Voice

I was listening to this morning's article on Radmilla Cody, thinking it was a locally-produced item: Radmilla, whose father is African-American and mother is Navajo, was raised by her Navajo grandmother near Flagstaff, Arizona, and sings in Navajo. I was pleased to find it was part of the 50 Great Voices series.
