Burt wrote one of my favourite songs, Gene Pitney's version was better, but Burt's was pretty damn good too.
Indeed. Indeed.
Which leads me to bring up one of my pet hates: over singing. There is nothing worse than Maria Carey, Celine Dion etc and their endless, loud, often screeching, over singing and carrying a note for way too long and grand standing. Can’t bear it.
True & they're unbearable as well.
It seems to be the "thing" that makes them "great" singers. I find it makes them grate singers
Totally agree. You can make an argument for “style” but regardless, I HATE that style of singing.
If you listen to a lot of Motown and Soul from the 60’s and 70’s, now that’s singing that doesn’t try to overtake or dominate the song itself.
It was often said that "belting" out a song was a singing sin but now it's considered an art form.
I was working at the Hilton in the 80s when she played at the ballroom there. I snuck off work and got to watch from the lighting box for a bit. I wasn't into her at the time but she had a killer voice and a great stage presence.
