Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I'm doing a series called What Makes
This Singer Great and next up to the plate is Mick Jagger from The Rolling
Stones. Before we get started if you guys
wouldn't mind, please like and subscribe to my channel, that would be really cool.
Don't forget to ring that Bell so I can keep more videos coming your way and I
have a singing course it is called How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else, you can
find it right here at Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy.com
where we discuss all the greatness of all these different singers, in hopes to
help make you great as a singer, should you be interested. Now what do I think of
when I think of Mick Jagger. I think the first thing I think of is lips right,
big lips right. The Rolling Stones, I think of The
Rolling Stones and he's had a lot of success on his own but predominantly we
think of the Rolling Stones. I think of great songwriting right, you
know just man how many records and how many years have they been doing this
and they're still out there doing it to this day, just selling out arenas around
the world. Maybe one of the greatest, highest-level, legendary status rock
bands of all time right. Maybe them, Led Zeppelin them probably even more than
Zeppelin because Zeppelin still isn't out touring arenas, they haven't done that for
many many years and yet the Rolling Stones are still out there doing it and have
been for all of these years. I think of Mick Jagger's stamina and his energy as
a performer, I mean he's just like, I know he has a personal trainer, I know he's..
just really takes his job seriously and really wants to give his audience the
best he can. I think of the big blowup doll and honky tonk woman right or you
know and then I think of just like I said, great songwriting when I think of
um gosh um what would be his like, I did one of the songs it was "Gimme Shelter"
that'd be one song. I'll put that in the description tag by the way so you can
see how I did cause I even sang the high parts in that tune.
I've also sung "Honky Tonk Woman" and I've also sung you know a bunch of other, the
Rolling Stone stuff. I think I've only done a vocal demonstration though of
"Gimme Shelter" so check that out in the description. I think of "Angie" right, the song
"Angie". I think "Brown Sugar". I sung that song too a while back. I think of gosh
"Tumbling Dice", "Ruby Tuesday". I think of "Paint It Black" right.
"Beast Of Burden"
and you know I know I'm missing other songs, please put songs that you like by
Mick Jagger what you think makes him great as a singer put that in the
description but with that said I want to dive into one of the tunes here. "Gimme
Shelter" and here we go.
Okay so I also think of.. now by the way I missed the high vocals on that and I actually
sang them for the video so check it out and see how I did but I think of just (sings)
you know. He's got just over pronounces and over dramatizes a lot of
his vocals but that's what makes him Mick Jagger's so if I were to do how to sound
like Mick Jagger or how to sing like Mick Jagger which I used to do a lot of how
to sing likes and I'm gonna do another series coming up maybe something similar
but I don't think, he's one of those character voices that has just got so
much character to his voice, I wouldn't try to emulate Mick Jagger would, I would
just be silly right. So he's just so unique in the way he presents his art
and the way he sings and all his vocal gesticulations and whatnot so that would
certainly be one thing, another thing too is you know the band even though a
lot of people kind of, I.. I've heard people kind of make fun of the band like
not being a great band and I've heard that about U2 and other bands like
that over the years but what's interesting is bands like that, they play
really, really well together as players so I think of the whole band as a
collective that makes that sound, not just MIck Jagger cause when you hear his
stuff on his own, it doesn't sound like the Rolling Stones, it sounds like him
and I think of the Rolling Stones very unique, their signature sound, their
fingerprint is etched upon rock and roll history so that would certainly be
another thing and then last again, you know here's a guy that's just still out
there doing it, his stamina but I also think of him as being a womanizer
because I know that he has been quite the womanizer over the years. So if I
missed something and you, what brings, comes to mind when you think of Mick Jagger,
please put that in the comment sections. Again I do this by request for the most
part so um request somebody and I will see if I can get to it, that would be
awesome and check out my new video.
