Obscure Factoid. Ian Gillan (Deep Purple Singer) played Jesus on the Original 1970 JC Superstar Album.
Full Album HERE >>>>>>>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmI-...VAq6nqcFboUNm0
"Taken from Ian Gillan Official Site(facebook). Truly an unique and rare video, i've never seen it before."
The two screams he does in this song are amazing. He crushes it !!! He's great all throughout the album (2 album set), especially towards the end. Greatest voice ever.
The performers on the original 1970 version are the BEST. Any other version done by anyone else doesn't even compare.

Interesting! Never knew that.

That would be an interesting debate -- greatest male voices. I never would have have thought of Ian, but yeah, great voice. We'd need a separate category for female singers because there are so many good ones.

I'll throw out these as candidates - not so much most popular, etc., but great voices. There will probably be some great names brought up that we've forgotten about.

Van Morrison - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syIUmrSJWAU

Harry Nilsson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-ZDKirjQgM

There's a really good documentary on Amazon Prime on Nilsson (Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why is Everyone Talking About Him)). He was a wild, live fast, die young, kind of guy.

Yeah, that would be a huge debate right there. I guess I should have said "One of my vocal Hero's growing up". That would have been more accurate.
All my friends back in the day were way older than me, so they were all into Hendrix, Joplin, Deep Purple, Uria Heep, Humble Pie, Mountain, Faces, Zeppelin, Sabbath ect.....
I started singing around early high school days, so those bands were the ones that inspired me. Was in a few local bands playing clubs back when the tri-state area MD., Va., DC.(especially Baltimore) had a pretty good music scene.
I tend to like a vocalist (Male or Female) with great range and can transition nice and smooth when going from one extreme to the other. Also a screamer who has good control along with some rasp to their voice. There's a few other factors and also stuff I don't like, but that's a start, and it's just my personnel taste.
Last I heard, the Raleigh, NC area was a pretty hot spot for music (Rock-N-Roll) until Covid put the brakes on everything. A drummer from one of the bands I was in lives down there and is still jammin and playin clubs. \m/ \m/

I'm not at all familiar with Jared Leto outside of the fact that he was in a batman movie???? I think that's correct. I don't know his vocal ability at all.
Chris was absolutely an amazing natural talent, and his crossover from lower range to higher was effortless and smooth as silk. Invisible. I prefer the earlier Soundgarden stuff, when he was just going for it 1000%.
Geddy Lee is a whole other animal. He had a "one of a kind" voice, just like you could say that Bon Scott (AC/DC) had a "one of a kind" voice.
I was a huge RUSH fan. Especially Neil Peart (RIP) since drums was the first instrument I learned how to play around age 12 or 13. Saw them live a bunch of times. Always great !!!
The last time was in Baltimore. The place was packed.

Something a little different. Kinda Country, kinda Folksy, with a dash of southern gentleman mixed in.
Mostly, it's all about the HARMONY. Sometimes two voices get together and it's perfect.
They met in a writers workshop and were paired together by chance.
After a couple years, the rumor mill was saying that they were becoming romantically involved even though they were both separately married.
It was never confirmed but the fans wanted it to be true. The duo broke up a couple years later.
NO ..... It's NOT Johnny Depp ....... LOL
(really like the steel guitar on "To whom it may concern")

I'm a big Rush fan as well. Saw them many times -- long ago.

Jared Leto is in a band called 30 seconds to mars - had some hits. My kids turned me on to them. Fair actor (played Mark David Chapman in Chapter 27).

Great "screamer". Cool video with with The Shining theme.
