The Voice Of The Past Century

[Appolo Jupiter]

There were many unique voices in the 20th century. People like Sinatra, Pavaroty, Barry White, Elvis, Montserrat Caballe, Liza Minnelly, Barbra Streisand... Who among the all in your opinion was the best. I don’t mean only Rock music but everywhere, In Jazz, Opera, Soul, Disco.... In my opinion the greatest voice of all times was Freddie, though I love Robbie and Ian gillan as much as him, but to face the truth the #1 voice was Freddie Mercury and I’m sure that many of you will agree… Whose the greatest Voice of the past century… And Why…

What about Nico from The Velvet Underground.. you just can't get female voices like that anymore. Only the '60s man, only the '60s.
