Hi guys,
i was listening to Exile, Keith's voice was fantastic at that time!! I think he had his peak in 71-72. I mean, listen Casino boogie, try to reach that notes!!
I think he lost his thin high-pitched voice during the 78 tour: listen to Happy on Love You Live and then Keith's voice on '78 singing Happy or Beast of Burden on SNL. From 78 to 82 he had a broken voice, but still higher than now. From '83 he started singing very similar to now. I love Keith's voice, even now, what do ya think about it? When do you think he reached his best as a vocalist???
sorry for my english, bye!

this topic is allready discussed before. Check [iorr.org]

smile: Keith sings beautiful -
and this topic comes up again about every two weeks, as far as i can tell.

Listen to Infamy off the Columbus 2005 boot. He sings better then he has in years. It's even better than the original. I think the funky horns gives the song a new bluesy, jazzy shuffle that Keith seems to really convey in his singing.

He da man!

i've been listening to a bunch of 81 concert boots today,
and i cannot begin to describe the elation that Keith's onstage backup singing in this period stirs in my sssoul -
he sure makes an IMPRESSION, don't he?! :E
and then when you recover from that ... just listen to the lovely rumpled silk he's pouring out in the studio around this same time.

that's Keith Richards, baby. :E

Well; infamy is gettin better all the time.

And I´m also talking about the studio version.

I dislike all three of these songs. Keith sounds like a defunct loo these days. Add "Nearness to you" and "Losing my touch" and you'll get pretty much of the Stones bottom 5 ever.

There is only one guy in the Stones who sings worse and that's Ronnie. I'm so happy Mick won't let Charlie sing. The latter being wise enough to keep his mouth shut when it's singing time. Thank you, Charlie!

You have got to be kidding me. He lost his voice 25 years ago. Smoking for 50 years will do that

The nearness of you is a masterpiece regarding feel and soulful voice. He sings like a God!

Amen.

Amen to that! I can listen to Time Is On My Side from that tour over and over, purely for Keith's BV's!

Is his voice is husky or melodious?

it's not an "either/or" deal.
how about "melodious and textured"?


"What do you want - what?!"
- Keith

testured what is it?

do you have a dictionary? look up "texture", and you'll understand.
(i'm not being grouchy - it's not easy to find other words for it.)

His voice and Woody's voice got so bad that Jagger had to hire backup singers for the '89 tour. Good move.

ahh Casino Boogie, pleased to meet another ear hearin what i hear:
i *love* that beautiful crazy melodious yowl he gets going -
yeah you got to shock them show them, baby!
and it fits with his playing so perfectly.

Maybe he just didn't like the odour of their vodka breath when sharing the microphone with one of 'em. Bernard isn't allowed to drink during the tour, as far as I know.

Keith's voice now and then are differerent.Then he had a rockinc voice.YOU got the silver and Happy were one of them.Happy in licks tour sounds okay but itcan't be compared with orginal one.

... never mind. :E
