I'd like to discuss vocalists with tremendous dynamic range, an ability to swell from quiet to really giving it some. Note, this is NOT about discussing frequency range. I can think of three who have impressed me with this ability and I'll put forward a song to showcase each one. 1. Chris IsaakHe really can belt it out when he wants to. Listen to how he moves up a gear in the middle of Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing (from Forever Blue). The fuzzed guitar is also remarkable. open.qobuz.com/track/28436252. Cat StevensConsidering the acoustic nature of his songs, he has tremendous vocal power. Try Where Do the Children Play? (from Tea for the Tillerman) and listen for the change of gear half way through the song. open.qobuz.com/track/162143373. Van MorrisonVan Morrison can also do dynamics. Try A Sense of Wonder from the album of the same name, where towards the end he moves from speaking to thunderous singing and back again. open.qobuz.com/track/44530453I think this is a tad subjective. And I should say I did overlook the word "tremendous", somehow. I can agree with Chris Isaak. It was something I noted when he first appeared. Cat Stevens. He does do soft and powerful. I don't hear tremendous , though. Actually, I'd say Tom Jones does a greater range, and not just loud. Van Morrison. Never been a van; interesting material, though. I'm afraid I've always viewed him as a bit of a, er... "shouter". Whether you call going from talking to er... "shouting" as dynamics, I suppose it is, but this my problem. Rightly or wrongly, I tend to think power and projection being functions of dynamic range. Steve Marriott I used to think of as being a bit of a "shouter" too. But it was part of his attraction on the like of Tin Soldier. And he could do quiet and loud/shout. Eva Cassidy I hear as female version of Cat Stevens, doing soft and power plus projection. Not tremendous I accept. The first female vocalist that I ever thought of with regards dynamics was Linda Ronstadt. True, though, not tremendous. Actually, thinking about it, the very, very, first female that I heard do dynamics, was actually Cilla Black. Another "shouter". Whatever happened to him?: PS It would be interesting to put a meter on these.

This is quite dynamic in terms of scale

This is quite dynamic in terms of scale Powerful, for sure. Really not keen on his voice, though.

Shirley Bassey of course. She can go from a whisper to horn section loud in an instant. And what vibrato.
I have a Blue Note compilation with Shirley covering Light my Fire by The Doors. I love it

Janis can go from soft to harsh within a instinct
