Her voice on the first two albums is agile and youthful but not yet helium, an effect she adopted really only on Ladies of the Canyon, and then subsequently abandoned. Listen to I Had a King or Tin Angel for example for how alto she sang before LOTC or All I Want after it. On May 26, 2014, at 11:07 AM, Laurie Antonioli wrote: > Thanks, Dave. Vocal range is really an uninteresting topic unless you're into acrobatics. An important person that was left off that list was Bobby McFerrin - his vocal range is one that he uses in the most creative ways, singing bass lines while also singing melodies - at the same time - and his range allows this remarkable feat. > > I agree with what others say on this topic here in this discussion group - this is a sophisticated group of listeners - I'm afraid the "general public" is less so. I love the term "helium days" describing Joni's young voice - and thanks again, Dave, for all the work you've done transcribing and researching Joni - very valuable information on one of the most important artists of the 20th century!! > > Laurie > > > On ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2014 #182 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here:mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
