The Vocal Range of David Coverdale

As the legendary frontman of Deep Purple and Whitesnake, David Coverdale has made quite a name for himself in the history of rock 'n' roll singers. Stylistically he is very much rooted in the blues and soul tradition, with a signature rasp and intense high notes. Often compared to Robert Plant, he differs in that he has a natural baritone voice. While he rarely exploits that, he still has a very solid low register when he does use it. Clips: 1. 0:00 - First a display of both sides of his range from "Slave". Starting with a spoke sung line down to C2, Coverdale then jumps up to an effortless B♭4 and then ends the clip on a G2. 2. 0:22 - Husky singing around F♯4-A4 from the classic Purple tune "Mistreated". 3. 0:39 - One of his best 4th octave passages. A bunch of G4s and a couple of strong B4s from the 1987 version of "Crying in the Rain". 4. 1:03 - Soulful, raspy singing from "Ain't Gonna Cry No More" centering around B♭4 and C5. 5. 1:22 - Easy C5s interspersed with husky 4th octave singing from the 1989 version of "Fool For Your Loving". 6. 1:40 - Great melody singing up to C♯5 from "Still of the Night". A classic clip indeed. 7. 1:52 - Some unusually clean D5s from "Children of the Night". Very well controlled! 8. 2:01 - Intense improv style singing from the end of the Coverdale/Page song "Don't Leave Me this Way". More great E♭5s in this clip. 9. 2:35 - Another classic note from "Still of the Night" this time a glissando up to a sustained E5! 10. 2:45 - Coverdale's take on the classic verses of "Black Dog" with E5s. David has always been a formidable live singer and this shows it well. 11. 3:14 - A great sustained E5 from the end of the 1987 version of "Crying in the Rain". 12. 3:29 - Intense singing from the end of the epic "Sailing Ships" with melody singing around D5 and E5, followed by a glissando up to a clean sustained E5! 13. 3:52 - An F5 heavy verse from "Whisper a Prayer for the Dying". One of Coverdale's most emotionally charged performances overall. 14. 4:06 - Energetic melody singing topping out at F♯5 from "Slip of the Tongue". 15. 4:22 - Strong B4s followed by a clean F♯5 from the '87 take of "Here I Go Again". 16. 4:35 - VERY intense live improv from a 2004 live version of "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City". This tops at G♯5 but mainly centers around F♯5. 17. 4:59 - Some of his strongest 5th octave singing, E5s and G5s from "Take Me Back Again". 18. 5:07 - Effortless D5s as well as clean F5s and a G5 from "Slow an' Easy". Very good phrasing here. 19. 5:22 - A screamed A5 followed by an impressive slide up to F♯5 from a 2006 live version of "Judgement Day". 20. 5:39 - Here we hear the top of Coverdale's controlled high singing so far, a very powerful A5 from a 1984 live version of "Crying in the Rain". Crazy stuff! Low notes: 1. 5:52 - A bunch of C3s from an impromptu live version of "'Til the End of Time". Two whole steps lower than the original. 2. 6:20 - Some very cool lower singing from "Behind the Smile" with a B♭2 and C3s. 3. 6:35 - An easy A2 from "She Give Me". 4. 6:40 - A peaceful A2 line from "Need Your Love So Bad". 5. 6:48 - A soulful A2 from "Too Many Tears". This song demonstrates his trademark, warm baritone sound quite well. 6. 6:56 - Pleasant melody singing from "Wherever You May Go" consisting of G♯2s and B2s. 7. 7:08 - Effortless, strong F♯2 melody singing from "Restless Heart". One of his best low clips for sure. 8. 7:22 - My favorite low note of Coverdale's, a warm F2 from an impromptu acoustic version of "Mistreated". 9. 7:30 - Effortless singing down to C2 from an impromptu polka version of "Kittens Got Claws". 10. 7:36 - David reading an excerpt from Clement C. Moore's poem "The Night Before Christmas", He hits a number of notes in the B1/C2 area and even a freaking F1 at one point! A very rich speaking voice. 7:52 - As a bonus, one of my favorite clips of David tonally in his mid range. The 2nd chorus of "Don't Fade Away" with beautiful clean F4s and a G4. I would like to hear this side of Coverdale's voice more often.
