Some of my favorite voices from the past:
Raspy, bluesy: Janis Joplin, Bonnie Rait, Stevie Nicks, Jim Morrison, Jefferson Starship
Smooth, gentle: Peter Paul and Mary, Paul Simon
Gritty: Bruce Springsteen
Mournful: James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, some Mama and Papas, some reflective early Beach Boys - In My Room
Bubble Gum Pop: Leslie Gore, Barry Manilow, Monkees, Neil Diamond (some stuff), Carole King (not surprising given her beginnings), Paul Anka, Som Mamas and Papas, Beach Boys, Some BeeGees
Girl Power: Cyndi Lauper (Who is bluesy, mournful and bubble gum at various times), Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor
I don't know where I would put Neil Diamond, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Lindsay Buckingham (Lindsay goes across so many, with his long, long career)
