Glenn's "Slade" voice?

[Annoying Twit]

On "Out of Control" Glenn, IMHO, sounds a bit like Noddy Holder from Slade. Are there any other songs on which he uses that voice?

It's very different from Tequila Sunrise, which follows it on the album.

I hadn't made a connection with Noddy Holder. I can't think of another song where he uses that voice throughout but it shows up occasionally. Parts of "Heartache Tonight"?
The closest I can think of is "I've Been Born Again" from "No Fun Aloud".

I"ve Been Born Again has some lines sung in what I describe in the 'slade' way, but most of it sounds very Glenn Glenn. IMHO.

Having had a quick re-listen to some Slade, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gqCCAb8xbw (70s fashion warning), I think the comparison is not unreasonable.

One really big different is that Noddy uses a lot of vibrato whereas Glenn uses it sparingly.

[Funk 50]

I don't think anyone sounds like Noddy Holder. After experiencing some vocal struggles, Slade's manager sent Noddy to a very exclusive, top U.S. voice coach.
After giving the coach a demo, Noddy was asked "Have you always sang like that", after answering "yes", the very exclusive, top U.S. voice coach said bluntly "I can do nothing for you":razz:

Favourite rocking singing from Frey would be, Outlaw Man, Part Of You Part Of Me, Better In The U.S.A., The Heat Is On and Heartache Tonight, of course.:smile:

Yeah I agree I thought the song sounded very glam rock ala Sweet. The closest is the coda too Outlaw Man ' Some Call me Sinner, Some call me Saint' bit also that direct gruff voice is similar to his vocals on Get Up Kate the Eagles demo version. Noddys got a great voice and rock n roll feel
