THE CHANGING NATURE OF THE
FEMALE VOICE
From the Sirens of Homeric legend onwards, female voices raised in song have been perceived as having unique variety and power. But in an age of amplification, corporate branding and TV talent contests, is there now an increasing uniformity and blandness of vocal expression?
In a Front Row special, Francine Stock investigates the changing nature of the female singing voice in the company of the musicologist Professor Allan Moore, Mike Stock of the famous Stock, Aitkin & Waterman hit machine, Lucy O'Brien, author of She-Bop: The definitive history of women in rock, pop and soul, music critic Michael White, and Britain's most commercially successful female singer, Petula Clark.
She Bop: The definitive history of women in rock, pop and soul by Lucy O'Brien. She Bop II, an updated paperback edition was published in July 2002 by Continuum - ISBN: 0826457762.
Petula Clark: The Ultimate Collection available on the Sanctuary Records Group label.
