Favourite Vinyl female and male vocals

Julie London & Bobby Darin or Mel Torme

Geddy Lee from RUSH + 2112 LP + volume levels that "go to elevehn" will rid of all rodents within a 20 mile radius. Ok, seriously, I REFUSE to be made fun of for this suggestion: "The Man From LaMancha" LP. Original recording. Personally, I cant stand it. BUT have been listening to it on and off JUST BECAUSE of the vocals. I'm chuckling as I write this.

I have no idea what your taste is or likes but if you have not tried Ella on Verve the Norman Granz recordings. You haven't heard really good music with sound.

For Female vocals, Stacey Kent may be right up your alley. Jennifer Warnes is one of my favorites (Famous Blue Raincoat or The Well). A favorite of many here is Eva Cassidy.

For Male vocals it is hard to recommend as you gave us no clue what sort of things you like. Old, new, jazz, rock, etc.

A few of my favorites that are generally well recorded are: Jack Johnson, and Harry Belefonte. The Muddy Waters lp sounds amazing as well.

Ella on anything, really. Sarah, of course. But my favorite vocal is a Johnny Hartman LP on BeeHive label. (I think it's a low-end offshoot of Bethlehem.) It was recorded not too long before Hartman's death in the early 80s. I don't recall the title, but the first cut is "Living for You". Every cartridge I test must negotiate that LP with authority. There is a piano accompaniment that sounds either electric or acoustic, depending on the tt, tonearm, cartridge. I have finally figured out it is acoustic. Hartman is at his best, IMO, and the sonics are great despite the budget label.
