If you could have a famous singing voice..

[dragonlady]

Gladys Knight

Oohhhhh good choice....forgot about her

[HWBL]

Karen Carpenter, Maria Callas, Ann Wilson are just a few that come to mind.
If I were a guy> prime Elvis (he could do just anything with his voice at his peak), Bono or Andrea Bocelli.

[moomies]

Karen Carpenter too, or (don't laugh) 'Mama' Cass Elliott (Mamas & Papas, WAY before your time ladies).

Hey A*O, I know Mamas & Papas! I think the song I know is called "Monday Monday."

[Barbara]

(Mamas & Papas, WAY before your time ladies).

I LOVE the song Dream a little dream of me. I aslo like Dedicated to the one I love and California Dreaming.

[A*O]

Correct on all those. Cass Elliott has the soaring, powerful female voice you hear on all those tracks, especially Dream A Little Dream.

[SammysMom]

Freestyle singer Nayobe or house music singer Raina (bonus points to anyone here who has actually heard of these two )

I hear Raina on my music channel I listen to everyday. But for some reason I thought her name was spelled Reina. Is it the same one who sings "Forgive", "If I Close My Eyes" and "Love of My Life" with Lucas Prata?

I love Cass Elliot's voice and I love Andrea Corr's (The Corrs) voice. Both women's voices were/are flawless.

Yep, same singer. I did mess up her name (I have a friend who spells it that way so I always get messed up). But the song I really like is "Find Another Woman"....really liked her voice on that one.

[LynnieD]

California Dreamin is one of the best songs ever.....


What harmony!!!

[UndercoverGator]

I would pick Patsy Cline's voice even if we have the same range and not dissimilar voices. She's got a purity of tone and depth that most singers cannot touch.

[FierceKiten]

I also love Celine Dion's voice.

[angelais]

Sarah McLachlan. There are others, but I love her voice!

[Icepik]

Sarah McLachlan. No question.

Same answer

[NawdleZouss]

I'm going to be a conceited bitch here, and say that I like my voice too much to trade. But if I had to:
Joan Sutherland-so many possibilities, and truly great. Cecilia Bartoli as a great tone, Opal Enthroned's is very interesting and expressive. Simone Simons' is small, but has a very pleasant tone.

Mens voices, I'd have to go with Phil Anselmo (technically very flawed, but so versatile and expressive), Chuck Billy (best growl I've ever heard) or Freddie Mercury.

[FierceKiten]

Corey Taylor, of SLIPKNOT.

[Girl Called Kill]

Joan Baez, back in the day.
