The most iconic bass singers in American music are probably (as noted by others already) Johnny Cash, Isaac Hayes, and Barry White. More recently, Stephen Merritt of the Magnetic Fields has made a name for himself partly due to his distinctive low voice. In classical song: Bryn Terfel is a strong and well-known bass-baritone who sounds good in his low range. I don't know a lot of other low singers, but some cursory research turned up Mikhail Zlatopolsky, who apparently has the record for lowest sung note at Eb1. But while this week’s song nominations need not be limited to those genres, nor do they need to be confined to singers with the very lowest notes. Singers with low voices often stand out and it is not so much the pitch, but the context in which they sing such notes that can qualify them in your nominations. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 15 male singers with deep voices.
Deep voices aren’t so much in demand in the world of popular song, where it is more often high voices that hog the limelight. My attention also went that way in my mid-teens – away from my church scene where rock’n’roll and girls were certainly not to be found and you needed to join a band for that. But deep-voiced artists, whether male or female, can put in an even more powerful performance perhaps because of their relative rarity in pop, soul and rock. And some of the biggest sex symbols in music history have had deep ones. Nina Simone, for example, inspiration to Nick Cave and many others, does not sing as low as a male bass, but her contralto range and delivery would more than qualify her for this week’s contenders.
