Ronald Coleman. definitely. But then, all I can think of when I hear his voice now, is the ape from the cartoon George of the Jungle.

yip - I'd agree with Margot Simmons (Cowboy Junkies) for the sultry sound: For my enjoyment of things testosterone however, it would have to be David Sylvian - as my Granny use to say "he could put his shoes under my bed any day!"mmmmsuch sensualitymmm If you haven't heard him yet...do!

Hmmm, difficult one, this. If we're talking singers it would have to be Peggy Lee. Actresses- too many to list, but I think Judi Dench gets the vote.

kat,

His name is Shawn Mullins.

I agree with Matthew B about Ingrid Bergman, and also her daughter, Isabella Rosselini.

As for male voices - never really thought about it. Honest. I find quiet/unassuming intelligence sexy, and that's why I like all of Harrison Ford's movies - post-Star Wars of course.

and seed, I suppose you've seen Jessica Rabbit's Peggy Lee act in Who Killed Roger Rabbit. Ah, the power of the cinema, that a cartoon can have such an effect on so many men. *BG*

I find women who are heavy smokers usually have a laugh that - how can I put it? - stirs me! They vary from very sexy to utterly disgusting - I love it! I'm always tempted to ask if they have any other disgusting habits, but I usually manage not to.

From the ladies' side: Greta Garbo had a voice that was even more beautiful than she looked. There is an album of her voice that should be handled with asbestos gloves.
From the gent's: Why has no one mentioned Johnny Cash?

Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall

Did you know there is a voice disorder called Bogart-Bacall syndrome? Bogart and Bacall spoke in their normal range for their voice, but there are people who strain their vocal cords by trying to speak lower than they were born to, and it's been given this name. Here's a link to an article about it from Center For Voice Disorders of Wake Forest University. BOGART-BACALL SYNDROME

Dear Rick, yes I have heard Barbara Dane, and have "I hate the capitalist system." Not her best song, but she sure could sing the blues. Is she still around? Sometimes her choice of material was too message-driven for her art.

For my tuppence worth... Female speaking voice has to be Mary-Jane Tomasi (radio announcer her in Auckland) definitely a saucy chuckle behind it!! Female singer for me is Cleo Laine...she excited me as a youngster many years ago...heard her live last week and it's still there!!

As for the males..I don't play in that team, but what Liam Neeson (newer version of big Sean)

As I've said before, I'd seriously consider walking over hot coals for John Jones in The Oyster Band. (Well, not quite, but nearly. As Leon Rosselson says.) Also, although it's not a voice, those low pan pipes do make me shiver.

MAG-- A few years ago a group callled the "Hot Club of San Francisco" released a CD. It is Django/Grapelli inspired swing. There are a few guest vocalists (my vote, Maria Muldaur included) and one of them is Barbara Dane, sounding good as ever. Very Bluesy. I hadn't heard of her doing anything for years, but I believe she resides somewhere in Northern CA. Anybody know anything more?

Hi,

Singing it has to be Shirley Collins, speaking it's currently Mariella Frostrup, but I remember back in the 80's there was a Scottish woman who used to read the Shipping Forecast of a night, the way she pronounced the word "poor" sent me to sleep with a smile on my face every time, I used to pray for fog.

Mine actually. Or that is what people keep telling me. My response is: "I wondered where it had all disappeared to."
The last person who told me this was a woman. I just looked at her and said, "Well you're the lucky one you've got it everywhere else."

Geeze freda, now you really are digging deep into the memory banks with Gerry Humphreys! I was a big fan of The Loved Ones back in the days.... I bought "The Loved One" and "Everlovin' Man" and I can still remember exactly what they sounded like - I might even still have the singles somewhere. I agree with you about his voice - amazing!
