Though Barbara Streisand was quoted as saying that if she had the vocal apparatus of Anne Murray, she'd actually use it. And let us not forget "The Band." <br /><br />Here's a writer to take a look at - very interesting voice from the not too distant past, Donald Hamilton, his Max Helm series. His style fascinates me.
