Just chilling and listening to some old 90s stuff and oh it reminds me of how pure and soulful his voice was back in his heyday..

So who in your opinion has or had the purest singing voice ??

I'd agree

George Micheal

Aretha Franklin

Karen Carpenter

Sam Cooke

Marvin Gaye loads and loads too many really. Not really a smooth voice as such but I've always liked Joe Cocker also gravelly but full of feeling

As a sound engineer it is often 'taught' that the most purest and clearest recorded singing voice is that of Dame Julie Andrews back in the 60's

I am shocked that this (apart from me now) has been the only mention of Freddie. His vocal range, pitch and tonal quality was outstanding. Even when he was dying he laid down some superb vocal tracks. A talent lost to the excesses of the rock world

Did you see the documentary about the last year or so of his life ? He was pretty much house bound and watched TV and listened to the radio a lot in the day. He often rang into shows when he saw people needing money for treatment, IVF etc. He would give the money on condition that it was never revealed where it had come from.

George Michael for sure huge fan of many years. So sadly missed

I’m looking forward to seeing the documentary in the cinema next week.

Other soul voices - for me Etta James, though any “bones” fans I think Cyndi lauper did an amazing rendition of “at last” on that

Otis redding, Solomon Burke (for those thinking “I’ve never heard him” you have if you’ve seen dirty dancing! But he did other amazing work), Roberta flack… love soul singers

Pure singers different style, erring more towards classical and musical theatre voices Julie Andrews yes, I would add Judy garland, barbra Streisand, Marni Nixon (king and I)

A personal favourite though erring more towards jazz is Beverly craven

Freddie is amazing of course but more of a rock bordering on operatic voice than soul I’d say.

Can you imagine what amazing opera singers Freddie and meat loaf would have made?

Going back to the great Prog Rock music of the 1970's my choice would without a doubt be Greg Lake.

Take some time out and listen to what was on offer during those heady years.

Greg Lake, voice of an angel. John Wetton, second only to Greg Lake. Both of these now ascended to the choir invisible.

Peter Hammill, not a beautiful voice, but certainly the most remarkable and unique voice in British rock history, sadly known only to the very few.
