has anybody else noticed this about singers?


Sam here again and this might sound crazy however there are a select few singers who’s voice resonates with your ears and it has nothing to do with how good they can sing for example bob dylan does not have a smooth voice however it resonates as if it is in tune with your ears others include john lennon,george harrison,glen fry,todd rungren,jimi hendrix,mark knopler,bob marley,johnny thunders,johnny lydon(sex pistols) mick jagger,keith richards,roger waters.Here are some great singers who don’t seem to resonate with my ears as if there out of tune with my ears.Paul mccartney,don henley,david bowie,phil collins,sting,tom petty,david byrne,michael jackson,david gilmore,robert plant,steve perry.
lf you listen to george harrisons voice on the dark horse album1974 his voice was in the worst shape however it amplified the resonant effect and sounded more in tune. Here is a singer who sounds like a cat being killed however that makes no difference because his voice instantly resonates with my ears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VVj1zqbWpU&ab_channel=DominoRecordingCo.

Perfect example of what I THINK Sam is referring to. Voice as rough and un”refined” as it gets. Coarse, not fine, gravel. No range to speak of. Yet, incredibly good sense of time and swing; like with his trumpet playing. Personality in spades. If his singing doesn’t put a smile on your face, then...........
Hey @frogman perfect example yes, he is one of a kind, he (like someone else mentioned above) doesn't sing, he speaks (most of the time), yet with an incredible sense of timing, I have tried to sing his songs and I'm always out of sync with him but HE is right on the timing.He has an incredible raspy (as we all know) voice which, looking for a word here (English not my 1st) "perdures" over the notes, when he stops singing you can still "hear" the notes. The trumpet, well, we don't have to say it is incredible. Such a talented artist ... incredible.


**** when he stops singing you can still "hear" the notes. ****

Great observation! He was an artist in the deepest sense of the word.
Louis started singing because he was having a hard time playing the horn like he did in the old days. You have to go way back to get an idea what this guy did with a trumpet. His singing was unique to say the least. He managed to pull it off. Being stoned all the time probably helped in this regard. Not kidding. He was loved by everyone. Pops.
