Singers that sound like Paul Rodgers

[Big Ears]

A list of singers that sound like Paul Rodgers:

Paul Rodgers himself
Lou Gramm of Foreigner
Davey Pattison of Gamma
Kim Beacon of String Driven Thing
Brian Howe of Ted Nugent and Bad Co.

Who have I missed?

 

[Slip'nn2Darkness]

That's a hard one since Paul has such a unique voice.. I don't think Brian Howe sounds much like him though..
Off hand I can't think of a single person..

 

[That 70s Guy]

 

[Fever]

It's a shame Cry Of Love didn't last longer.Lead singer Kelly Holland is in a band called Crush ,that mainly plays cover songs.

 

[Big Ears]

Cry of Love were an American blues-rock band that sounded a bit like Free. Pipe of Peace is one of their best known tracks.

It's Peace Pipe, I was thinking of McCartney.

 

[Rock Candy]

Steve Overland from FM sounds like a mish-mash of Rodgers and Glenn Hughes. Simon Kirke obviously noticed this, since he gave Overland his first big break back in the early 80s w/ Wildlife.


Early Coverdale, certainly. In the early '70s when he first appeared, he was slagged off in some circles as a bargain-basement Rodgers.


Your can hear the Rodgers influence in Jimmy Barnes' lower register.


Bad Company's third singer, Robert Hart.


Jim Dewar strikes me as having that Rodgers "richness".


The more gritty tone Joe Lynn Turner has adapted in more recent years sounds very Rodgers-ish.


Jimi Jamison from Cobra and Survivor gets compared to Rodgers and Coverdale pretty often, but I'll be honest in saying I don't really hear it.


Neville McDonald, vaguely.

Cry of Love were an American blues-rock band that sounded a bit like Free. Pipe of Peace is one of their best known tracks.

They were a local band for me

 

[Powerage]

Danny Bowes from UK band Thunder reminds me of Rodgers at times.

 

[Hydrazoic Acid]

Joe Bonamassa's and Jeff Healey's voices reminds me about Paul sometimes...

 

[Big Ears]

Thanks for the contributions. I was tempted to put Jim Dewar and somehow forgot Danny Bowes.

Glenn Hughes with Trapeze on Medusa did sound a bit like Paul Rodgers.

Joe Lynn Turner is like Jorn Lande in that he is very flexible and can sound like anyone he chooses.

Some people think David Coverdale is a copy of Paul Rodgers, others think Robert Plant. Highly rated in the seventies, he is much maligned these days. I am not sure, because I always thought he was his own man.
