Very quick quiz.

Simply identify the voices. Name the singers.

(The first one is a duet so it is numbered 1 & 2)

Apart from the singers names, any other information would earn extra credit.

No El Loro it isn't 

I just listed The Platters as the group rather than their individual names.

Well spotted on Linda Ronstadt by the way.

I am pretty much impressed by Linda Ronstadt.  To be able to sing this coloratura stuff, as well as nice country music and straight ballads, makes her very versatile in my book.

 

No the one still unidentified is the male voice in number 1&2.

It's not easy!

El Loro - following Elkie's lead you got there!

It is indeed George Segal.   

The version you hear in this thread is not from that video clip, but from a record which they made together.

 

Baz, - interestingly, I too thought it was somebody who did not normally sing. But on investigation I find that he is described as "actor and musician".

Apparently he is an extremely accomplished banjo player who created his own ragtime band.

So, the final list is:-

1. & 2. Teresa Brewer and George Segal

3. Burl Ives

4. The Platters

5. Rosemary Clooney

6. Linda Ronstadt

 

Thanks for doing the quiz folks.
