"28: A song by an artist with a voice that you love"
Since I can't keep sad-feelings on my feed, I'm going to answer this one today too. I so wanted to sound just like Shirley Bassey when I was young, to get that gorgeous growl of her whenever she purrs an "n" sound, to have that rich vibrato on her vowels that just...oh, it's just awesome. The breath control, the growl, the smile...
This is my favorite singer, hands down, no one even comes close.
This is a live version of "Big Spender" from when she sang for Prince Phillip's birthday, I think she was 65 at the time, and it's so quintessentially her, with her fantastic humor, I had to use it.
But for those who like a more modern sound, how about the Propellerheads 2011 song "History Repeating" (seriously, no one chews the letter "n" better than Shirley Bassey)
