In this week’s program Rob and Mossy have chosen what they consider to be some of the best voices in pop music history. The program starts with the enigmatic Nina Simone (Break Down And Let It All Out) with her pure diction and growling vocals and concludes with the mellifluous tones of Dean Martin (Arrivederci Roma). Vocal purity and honesty are trademarks of Karen Carpenter (Solitaire), velvet precision from LGBTIQ+ performer, Johnny Mathis (Misty) and the soaring, goose bump tenor of Tony Williams (Only You), lead singer of The Platters. Another LGBTIQ+ favourite is Freddy Mercury who sings a restrained, lovely ballad (Love Of My Life) fronting Queen. Aussie contributions are the King Of Pop from 1969-73, John Farnham (One Is The Loneliest Number) the soulful voice of Doug Parkinson (I’ll Be Around) and Marcia Hines (I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself). An unusual inclusion is the French singer, Edith Piaf with her signature song, Non Je Ne Regrette Rien.
