Tori is astounding and she's always paid tribute to Joni in her live shows. Here's a quote from her concerning Joni: "So I'll listen to some song and say, 'Why didn't I write that?'...I could name five songs, right off the top of my head, that I would have given my right arm to write. Joni Mitchell's "Case of You", don't get it any better. A better song hasn't been written. I don't care what female singer/songwriter you throw up in my face. None has done anything in the league of Case of You, me included. I sing Case of You almost every night in concert because of that. For a woman to be able to say what that says, with that kind of addiction and yet that kind of grace, is just not done. Even Zeppelin and those guys listened to Joni. They were TOTALLY influenced by Joni.

She never had a silky smooth sound although her recordings in the early to mid 1940s come as close to it as any of her career. In the late 40s up until her death in 1959, the voice got progressively more gravelly. She also had a very limited pitch range. Yet she is remembered as one of the greatest singers of all time and rightfully so. Her technique was impeccable and her delivery always informed with a sense of honesty that made you believe she had lived every word she sang. Judy Garland did not have an impressive range in pitch either. Yet her voice had a warmth and clarity that she used to great effect. She could sing with an intimacy that caressed every note or sing with powerful intensity that could be heart wrenching. She could also turn around and sing with a brightness that was an infectious expression of pure joy. Neither of these singers performed vocal acrobatics with runs or jaw-dropping high notes. It's true, the style has changed and people like Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston have become the standard that other singers are measured against. But there is something to be said for the innate genius for communicating a song that singers like Billie and Judy possessed. Like Joni, they stand outside of current trends. They set their own unique standards and their art is timeless. Mark in Seattle - -----Original Message----- From: Catherine McKay *In case anyone's going for the flame-throwers, it wasn't a rasp at all, but Ms Mitchell says she can't sing anymore and I get that, and I just like the sound of "rasp." (now playing in my head: a voice like Mercedes McCambridge's Exorcist-demon, singing one of those helium-Joni songs, "Conversation" maybe. Or maybe Jimmy Durante singing "All I want.") > > Having more pitch range of course does not make you a better singer, as we > all > know.

It has ridden hundreds of cycling miles with me and was a sweaty mess. Naturally, I flipped it over and... Several years back when offered a choice of engravings for my iPod, I walked a manic line for days...trying to condense my dream choice for lyrics to the allowable number of letters. AGONY!!! I narrowed and eliminated and finally came up with: sweet bird you are briefer than a falling star I assume there are others here who did likewise. Anybody into sharing? Or sharing what you almost selected. I pondered some Tori Amos lyrics from "Space Dog"and some dark things from "Sisters of the Moon," but I couldn't walk past Sweet Bird. I've said it before here...I really think Joni touched the essence of The words in that song. It's visionary.

Male singers enter flageolet register at C5 and they can obviously access these notes up there as well. Maria Carey, Christina, etc... also Prince usually use it for decorative elements and for just a brief period of time. Minnie Riperton was stunning everyone when she sang, I think it was "loving you". In any case, I don't recall Joni ever getting up there. Yes, she sang high in her head voice but not as high as what's become popular today as a WOW effect with some artist, especially in pop music. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistle_register Claudia On May 24, 2014, at 4:08 PM, JMDL Digest wrote: > > JMDL Digest Saturday, May 24 2014 Volume 2014 : Number 778 > > > > ========== > > TOPICS and authors in this Digest: > -------- > Re: vocal ranges [Corey Blake ] > vocal ranges ["ron" ] > Joni Covers, Volume 189 [Bob Muller ] > Re: vocal ranges ["johnnybgoode@lineone.net" ] > Re: JMDL Digest V2014 #777 [SusanBTaylorBand Re: Tori Amos River (live) May 8th [Betsy Blue ] > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Date: Sat, 24 May 2014 12:06:10 -0700 > From: Corey Blake > Subject: Re: vocal ranges > > I saw that too and have been meaning to post it here.
