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

Have to say Nina Simone. Heard her live in a very small venue and it was electrifying.

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?

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.

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*

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.

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!

Right now, male: the guy with the group in the top 40's who sings "Lullaby" He kinda speaks part of it about a young girl crowing up in Hollywood and then he sings her a Lullaby "Everything gonna be alright, rockabye, rockabye" Don't knwo the name of the group or the song, but he has got one very sexy voice.

Marlene Dietrich, definitely and I really like Ferron's voice, too.

My girlfriend asked me to call her boyfriend, whom I had never met, on his birthday and sing the sexiest rendition of Happy Birthday I could. He didn't know who I was until later, but he wanted to meet me. We joked about it for several years after.:-)

I'm a big, brawny, hetero- construction worker of a guy but hearing Dick Gaughan sing The Snows They Melt the Soonest too many times could probably turn me. In which case I hurriedly throw on some Cowboy Junkies and Margot Timmons would retrieve me.

Ah, yes, Sean Connery definitely!

As far as singers go, the other day when I listened to the Irish Tenor cd I was struck by the sexiness of John McDermott's voice. (Though it amazes me how he can get such wonderful sound out without hardly opening his mouth...)

Then there is a friend of mine who I think has a very sexy voice, though you'll all have to take my word for it.

I'll have to ditto Maria Muldaur. When I first saw her perform she drove me nuts (it was with the Kweskin Jug Band). I've seen her a couple of times in the past few years. She just gets sexier (better) and sexier (better) all the time - and she's still singing "Don't you feel my leg".

Maura O'Connell is right up there, too.

On the male side, I'd have to say the bass singer for the Fairfield Four (gospel quartet). He's another one who could just read the phone book and send electrodes through the system.

I agree with Mudjack and Banjoman about Julie London--I was listening to a CD of her singing "Cry Me a River" a few weeks ago. Fantastic.

And with Bert about Eartha Kitt--"The Birds Do It" and "Santa Baby."

And just to be original, the one I thought of when I first saw the thread: Peggy Lee. Remember "Lover"? Not only her voice, but her performance style--she didn't move her feet, she just seemed to writhe inside her skin. Wow.

I second Dinah Shore in her earlier years...goodness me...warm, sexy and vulnerable. And I've never heard her sing but would happily listen to Thiona Ritchie read the entire Chicago phone book.

There was a recent thread about 'Is That All There Is'. I fell in love with Peggy Lee and 'Fever' at age 9.

Margarita, give me a call some time and I'll show you my rich, vibrant bass radio voive, with an Australian accent. In fact come out to the Woodford Festival here between Christmas and New Year and escape Winter for a while.
