Sorry, if this has been discussed before in the distant past, but why didn't MT sing on stage when he was in the Rolling Stones 1969-1974 era? He has a good voice. I mean it's certainly more than adequate. I was listening to his first album the other day, and he had a nice, clear, fresh voice. Nothing signature about it, but he can carry a tune and certainly harmonize. His speaking voice back then was very British , he sounded very soft-spoken and educated. Now his voice is much rougher...not so much when singing, but when talking as was evidenced by his voice-overs in Crossfire Hurricane.
Anyway, why didn't he sing backup vocals at the very least in concert? He was always criticized for having a boring stage presence...well, singing might have resolved that problem somewhat. I think the only videos that I've seen him singing into a mic was Ain't Too Proud to Beg and Dancing with Mr. D. I could be wrong, possibly there are a few more. In other videos I've seen him singing, but sort of mouthing the words in the background, nothing formally. It would have been kind of cool back then to see him and Jagger sharing a mic, the way Jagger and Richards did.

He sang great backups to Ronnie last month and I'm not just polishing his apple.. He did real harmonies.

He is a much better vocalist than Brian Jones.

His 'singing' is something like the sonic equivalent of watching paint dry.

He wasn't credited with vocals on a Rolling Stones album until Goats Head Soup, where was credited with "vocal" (which I always thought meant just one song. Then on IORR, he was credited with "vocals" and sang (or mimed) on the IORR and Til The Next Goodbye videos. I thought his vocals on his first solo record were very good, reminded me of Keith. Have a listen to Leather Jacket, Broken Man, and SW5.

I would call it more nondescript than bland, but still a decent voice nonetheless.
