Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 We have still a large collection of vinyl's and throughout the day in the house or garage, or even earphones, we both have music and songs playing. I asked the wife last night what her favorite song was that she listens or plays the most. This is her favorite and I agree it is a favorite of mine also., though I play the 'Happy Wanderer" on my earphones when I'm working the most.

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 She and Cass Eliot of The Mamas and Papas were very VERY similar in voice and tone. There are very few female voices that have that pure, clean quality with no affectation. Just hitting the note and letting it ring!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Those two, and Linda Ronstadt when she was with the Stone Ponies, (think Different Drum) had that quality. Just clear sweet vocals on key and pitch perfect!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Interesting to me that though there are wonderful singers in that period, they were almost exceptions rather than the rule. Zoom back in time musically to the '40's and '50's a plenty of wonderful singers and bands / orchestras. Nearly anything on the radio or record very high quality. I play more old (including '60's and '70's) rarely anything recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt Mary Travers of the Peter, Paul, and Mary trio had an excellent range in her voice also. Also one I listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a girl I was serious about and dated during my High School years and when this song came out by Paul and Paula, we use to sing along as it came over the radio just inserting our names into the song as we sang along. Long time ago, great memories that these songs bring up, many bringing up a time and a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Carpenter and Anne Murray were great voices. I liked both a lot, but they weren’t that “stand up and let it out” kind of singers. I’m also a huge fan of Ann Wilson, (Heart) Annie Lennox, (Eurythmics) and Chrissy Hinde, (The Pretenders)! Again, a different style and feel, but absolutely unbelievable female voices!!

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 A lady singer that I wonder why she wasn't more popular is Mary Fahl. I first heard hear when watching the Civil War movie, "Gods and Generals." I was so impressed and captivated by the voice that sang in the Opening Titles of "Gods and Generals" that I searched to find out who was this singer. I found the singer is Mary Fahl. I found a few more of her songs on YouTube, but I've never heard much about her. Mary Fahl singing "Going Home" in the Opening of "Gods and Generals."
