What Price her Voice is to me....!

I had a lot of discussions in my live, always trying to defend my love for the Price voice. Now that I read so many negative things said about Miss Price her singing, I felt stronger than before to do something which would give all those who do not know how intense Miss Price sounded live, to hear clips from her performances and judge for themselves! Even though she sounded very different live, darker, more sumptuous. It seems that only very pure and natural high end equipment can produce a sound close to the original! I once heard her through a pair of electrostatic speakers coupled to a tube amplifier and I got goose-flesh all over! Reading many comments on singing on the internet has taught me even to listen more closely and find an answer to why I love this particular voice so much. I may go on doing that forever and never find an answer, but now I know that every person is so individual that I can never expect anyone to hear what I hear or to feel what I feel, so there is no discussion because every person is alone in every experience. As Miss Price said, everybody hears the same sound, but she felt the sound while singing, we can not! We hear a singing voice through many layers of social conditioning, which is all right, as long as one accepts this experience as being very personal one, and it may not always be nonjudgmental !
