Just found this book :

[books.google.it]

the first chapter is almost entirely dedicated to Jagger voice analyzing several tracks of the Sixties period and also compare them with other singers like Van Morrison, Burdon and, above all, Sky Saxon of the Seeds, being this book dedicated to the Psichedelic Sound of the Sixties.
Whatever your consideration of this text, I don't remember to have read on the RS circulating books something on this topic, and I found it quite interesting.

BTW: the band on the cover are the Music Machine: I suggest to the youngsters to trace their warhorse Talk Talk, a must of the sixties garage punk.

Interesting indeed! Thank you for the link!

This is a very engaging read. A detailed critical analysis of Jagger's voice and its influence on the canon of Rock and Roll singing. Thank you for posting it.

interesting indeed! i've been looking for something like this for a while,
so thank you kindly

yes, this is really cool - just skimmed in but can't wait to actually read it later today - thanks for posting!

This is so good it could almost be Mick singing.

cool article, but somewhat odd for a first chapter. There's no sense of the argument of the book as a whole--a lack the introduction makes clear as well.

the author describes the backing vocal on "Walking the Dog" as "featuring a pure buzz"--that's brian!
