Re: (TV) The Hawk



I think I wrote this before but will write it again. 
Would Marquee Moon, See No Evil, Glory, etc be what
they are with an American/Canadian/British Idol type
singer.  Amazingly, on-key, technical singers are a
dime a dozen, furthermore, they are usually enhanced
with vocalizers (makes sure the vocals stay in tune,
doubles them, thickens, etc.  Tom probably used one in
the studio*, Celine Dion and Cher use 5 plus when
touring) Unique singers are unique, you can't get a
voice like that through lessons and technology and
thats what makes em great, Verlaine included.

*It would be my guess that Verlaine used vocalizers in
the studio to save on recording costs, an incredibley
clean and in-tune recording can be made in one or two
takes w/ these suckers.  Marquee Moon and Adventure
may be pre-vocalizer days and IMO these were his best
vocals.
