RE: Greatest singers by vocal range - dirtymonkey22 - 11-18-2014
Its from a conversation we had yesterday and I guess he looked into it
RE: Greatest singers by vocal range - OddBallFreak - 11-18-2014
Suprised Elvis prestly is pretty high on the list. Im not an avid fan, but any song of his i can think of is him singing in the same tone
RE: Greatest singers by vocal range - insane - 11-30-2014
I think its cool to think where your favorite singers stack up you know? Like who would think Elvis had a higher ranger than Freddie Mercury?
RE: Greatest singers by vocal range - juggalogigolo - 11-30-2014
im not that big of an elvis fan, but i dont remember ever hearing anything he sang that had that big of a range. especially compared to freddie mercury
