ahhh the ear of the beholder.

Frankly, my husband has NO IDEA the power he has in his Long Island baritone. the man can talk me into ANYTHING. hell -- he can send thrills of frisson through me with the tiniest amount of playful heat behind whatever he's saying. AUGH!!!
Thank goodness he'll never read that. lol.

I have a real weakness for voices. I usually go for tenors: ohhhh.
since everyone hears just slightly differently this is more a reveal on what curls yer own bacon than asking 'what's your favorite color."
hehehe.
Bono Vox: certain. Alan Rickman -- oh my!!! uh huh. (swallows hard.)

Laurel Bacall -- although to be fair -- Miss Betty had voice lessons.
Sally Kellerman.
Kate Mulgrew. (yeaaah, has anyone been a Star Trek captain without passing the melts-in-the-pants-test? Could you IMAGINE if that was actual pre-requisite for military advancement?!)
Anyone at all with a soft Austin accent. Scots a close second. on a fnal note: Smart and southern -- and NO, they aren't mutually exclusive.
oh dear. Giggle fit. Must go now...

Oh, yes - Liam Neeson and George Clooney. And Sean Connery. Oops, seems I've got a thing going for older men's voices ;-) But I guess this is the wrong audience for name-dropping of German musicians *g*

As for women... Dunno. I have a problem with female voices. I normally don't like (bands with) female singers at all. Oh, hang on - maybe Annie Lennox.

operhaps the song was "when i fell?"
i have searched a beatles' site and
do not see a title that seems like the
one...perhaps it was all a dream!!

ahh--to sleep, perchance, to dream....
i think the fateful whisper was uttered
at midnight....just before they signed off
and the only sound you could hear was
----static-----

now that song is floating around in my head...

I have not read ALL the posts in this thread, but the first thing that
comes to mind for me is the d.j. in Omaha on KOIL radio who signed off at night after playing a sweet soft beatles song--and he whipered:
"Night, luvvy" then all went silent...oooh....melted my teenage heart..
it had been all down hill since then. i think the song was "All My Love"
or at least that is one of the lines that goes thru my head when i try to recall what song he played...i mainly remember the whisper part!!

Well, there's Patrick Stewart, and Liam Neeson, then there's George Cluny, I love that nice, husky rasp.
The little sparrow, Edith Piaf, was one of the sexiest female vocalists who ever breathed. "Milor" is a very sexy song, without mentioning sex.
Now, I went singing with a guy who does madrigals at Ren fairs. He sang love songs like he meant them, and his voice was like honey pouring oh so sloooooooooowly out of the jar. But I don't remember his name.

Just had to join in the fun on a boring afternoon here at work...

I can't believe nobody has yet put in a vote for Nick Cave. His singing voice has such an incredibly intimate quality, it always makes me feel as if he really is singing just for me. Added to that deep growly rasp he's got going on in there, it always makes me think of how a man sounds the morning after the night before. Yummy.

I will add a big "me, too!" for Alan Rickman's speaking voice. That man could talk me right into a... very cold shower.

As for female singers, you all don't know what you're missing if you haven't heard Belle du Berry. Playful, intimate, expressive, natural, utterly gorgeous voice. She sings for an absolutely fantastic Parisian swing/lounge band called Paris Combo. When I first bought a CD of theirs, my metalhead husband kept it in the player in his car for three months! Not that I could blame him.

Thanks for the entertaining conversation, mudcatters!

June Tabor--female voice for singing and Leonard Cohen--male voice for singing. If you are asking for spoken voice recorded I'd have to rethink my voting.

Oh yeah, Jennifer Warnes for sure! And Leonard Cohen too, come to think of it... (you don't have to be either female or gay to figure that out, Bill) :-) I have absolutely no desire to cuddle up with Leonard under any circumstances, but I know he sounds sexy when he sings certain songs.

And that girl Flossie sounds great. Gotta check out her material now. Thanks, drummer!

I wasn't gonna get hooked into this thread ... and then ... ooohhh!!!


Basically (almost) any Scots accent!!! (so Sean Connery is in!)

Hmmm .. and yes, Anthony Hopkins would get a vote too ...

But in the "folk" music stakes, I'd say :

Number 1. ROD PATTERSON (Jock Tamson's Bairns / Easy Club)

and then perhaps ARCHIE FISHER!!


But what about my very very most favourite singer, BOB FOX?!!!


Maria Muldaur would have to be right up there too, plus Peggy Lee and Julie London. June Tabor and Kate Wolf are fantastic, but I don't think of them as having "sexy" voices ...


Freda and JennyO - your mention of Gerry Humphries took me back to my early teens! - I adored "The Loved Ones" too and my Mother was absolutely fascinated with Gerry - I was under strict instructions to call her in whenever he was on TV!!!
