Really-From: ed@das.llnl.gov (Edward Suranyi) I saw the following article in rec.music.misc, and thought it might give rise to interesting speculation: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Article 50517 of rec.music.misc: Path: lll-winken!uwm.edu!cs.utexas.edu!know!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!wuarchive!psuvax1!psuvm!auvm!naz From: NAZ@auvm.auvm.edu (Naz Reyes) Newsgroups: rec.music.misc Subject: Re: Vocalists with 4+ octave ranges Message-ID: <90221.194859NAZ@auvm.auvm.edu> Date: 9 Aug 90 23:48:59 GMT References: <82851@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu> Organization: The American University - University Computing Center Lines: 24 In article <82851@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu>, fox-r@giza.cis.ohio-state.edu (The Guitarist From Hell) says: > >Here are a few more vocalists not yet mentioned (and one that has been >mentioned). > >Kate Bush of course is another 4+ octave vocalist.

I have 5 of Kate's CDs and I've completely forgotten about her wide range! NOw, my question is: Which song(s) clearly shows this talent of hers? "Sat In Your Lap" is one song I could think of offhand that MAY show her highs and lows. I'm at work right now so it's kinda impossible to go thru my record collection and find another song :-) Anyways, if someone could maybe post a list of Kate Bush's songs that could show the wide range of her voice, I'd really appreciate it. -Naz --------------------------------------------------------------------- I think maybe "Don't Push Your Foot ... " has the highest note, but I'm not sure. Ideas, anyone? Ed ed@das.llnl.gov

I'm not even sure if it counts as actual singing, but she really gets up there. There's one scream in particular that really freaks me out. Jeff -- |Jeffrey C.

But for the highest she "sings" in a song, that has to be Hammer Horror. She hits so many high notes, it makes my eyes water when listening to it. A few others (but not quite as high) would be Kite (during the chorus), parts of the Ninth Wave (especially the first song), and Violin. I think that Hammer Horror shows her true range though as she hits some real low notes at times and then hits the highest notes (that I've ever heard her sing) during the chorus. >Jeff >|Jeffrey C.
