wine voices from heaven

This is the last bit of wine for now...
maybe I'll pick it up again someday.

These certainly are not the only voices that I enjoy (for example, the lead singer from Colplay has a great voice...) but not every voice leaves me bound under an enchantment of awed wonder.

*************************



Andrea Bocelli
no offense to you who like him - but Josh Groban can go jump. there ain't room in one collection for the both of them, and my money is with this man.



Mel Torme
his voice kind of went through phases as he aged... always great, though i prefer the younger version. you'll never hear anything smoother.
froggy face or not, the voice is velvet indeed.




Kathleen Battle
how do you elaborate on something this flawless. i do mean flawless.
absolutely unbelievable.



Rachael Lampa
like her music or not, this girl has one heck of a powerhouse voice.




Alison Krauss
everyone knows Alison Krauss... everyone agrees. no comment necessary.



Deidra Ekins
Dee basically rocks my socks off.



my mum.
if you've never heard my mother sing... really sing... you are
a poorly deprived individual.

But if I could only hear one of them sing for the rest of my life, it would be Melissa, hands down, no choice. She's the only one who knows all the songs I need to hear.

That and I love her.

Becca said...

that's a mighty fine list you have there, sir.

Yeah I'm a big fan of your mom's singing as well. As far as the others go..........(the periods say it all)

LaceyP said...

great list...and it gave me chills (ya know, the kind of chills you get when someone says something really, really sweet!) when I got down to the bottom of the list and your mom was on there. That was super sweet....completely unexpected with all the other famous people on there, but a great surprise! She does have an amazing voice! Hmmm..beauty AND an amazing voice...what can I say?! Amazing!

Your mom has been blessed with a wonderful gift. Beautiful, beautiful voice. I have been enjoying hearing her, your Aunt Rachel, and Sister Brown singing on my way to work on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. It's a wonderful way to start the day off.

Becca said...

Deidra said...

Becca said...

Dan, I like your list. I agree with your list. I don't know who Rachel Lampa is, and I can only like Dee's voice because she is your friend I've never met, but besides those exceptions, I have to agree with your list.
