Valentine's Day means cards, flowers, candy and romantic serenades. This week, ROUTE 1 readers mark the occasion by answering the following FRIDAY QUESTION:
"Which musical artist has the sexiest singing voice?"
RICK T. -- If you were to ask any country girl, they would all say Conway Twitty or maybe even Elvis. Me, it's Connie Smith. (She melts my butter!)
MIKE M. -- Dinah Washington, so eloquent and brash, especially in her radical interpretation of "All of Me." (You can see her here.)
MARY N.-P. -- Gene Pitney. The heartbreak heart throb of the 1960s with hits like "Mecca," "Town Without Pity" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance."
BRIAN C. -- British singer Sam (as in Samantha) Brown. "Do Right By Her." (You can hear some samples here.)
MIKE D. -- My top choices for sexy serenade: 4. Shania Twain, 3. Gwen Stefani, 2. The chick from Sixpence None The Richer (Leigh Bingham Nash), 1. Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles.
ERIK H. -- I could name probably a half-dozen female singers who sound... so... sexy. This morning, I am listening to one of those singers -- Sarah Vaughan. Her 1960 version of "Have You Met Miss Jones" floats all across the room, beckoning.
Sorry I'm late,
