"I won't let you go"

"Slow"



I think he has a fabulous soulful quality to his voice,
and I think she has a beautiful tone. Comparisons to Karen Carpenter are inevitable, but she's not imitating her, she just has a similar quality.




Just thought I'd share these discoveries with you in case you like them and hadn't yet heard them.


And just for the heck of it, here's an old voice, sadly passed on last year but, wow....
close your eyes and just listen.....

"I won't let you go"

Only had a chance to listen to the first one so far, was going to come on and say I wasn't sure I liked the song, but then it kicked in a bit. But agreed, he's got a great tone and rasp to his voice, great for soul.

Thanks Deb.
Thought no one was talkin' to me!

The second one isn't soulful exactly, its just that I think she has a lovely quality and tone to her voice.

Glad you like her!

I heard this song for the first time recently and thought it was a Karen Carpenter track that I'd never heard before.
Then I realised it wasn't her so I sought out the vocalist and downloaded the track.

Seems like she's a true Artist.

Love the clip you posted, too.



Try this one as well -

I like both. Very distinctive voices. I hear a little of the Karen Carpenter comparison,also. Thanks for sharing!

[SusieP]

Happy to share.

True talents deserve to get noticed.

This James Morrison guy has had a few hits over here.
I find him [looks wise] reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen.




Hee hee, this thread has now had 300 views and hardly any comments.
I find that hilarious!

Thank you, SusieP. I've never heard of Rumer but I'm going to buy her album now. What a beautiful voice!

Hey Susie! I like the Morrison, but I'm not a fan of Rumer. Just not my style. Thanks for posting these.
