Subject: ONEOF A KIND VOICES Author: RickHenry [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:18:42 04/17/03 Thu We all know and agree that Karen Carpenter has a one of a kind voice. Sound-a-likes have tried to imitate her but none have yet to capture her essence completely. Who are other singers with a one of a kind voice? Here are a few I think fall into that category: Annie Lennox: Her voice is soulful and rich. Dusty Springfield: She definitely is one of the greatest female vocalists of all-time.

I Love the version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" of Chrissie Hynde Chrissie Hynde ( The Pretenders ) - She can rock, but >she can also sing a ballad with soul and emotion. > >Donna Summer - She has a beautiful and powerful voice.

Donna was amazing as she sang all her great hits. The highlight was an accapella rendition of an old Gospel song. Her voice is still excellent - she's a vocal powerhouse. >Chrissie Hynde ( The Pretenders ) - She can rock, but >she can also sing a ballad with soul and emotion. > >Donna Summer - She has a beautiful and powerful voice.

Another one is Anne Murray,listen her version of Daydream Believer. And the last one,Rita Coolidge, listen the movie theme from Splash.
