Kim Carnes
We can see why people compared Kim Carnes and Rod Stewart in the past with her raspy voice. She named herself in the industry after Kenny Rogers invited her to work on “Gideon” with him. They also did a duet known as “Don’t Fall in Love with a Dreamer.” It climbed to the fourth spot of the Billboard Hot 100. Aside from that, they also received a Grammy nomination for that performance. She released an album called “Mistaken Identity,” which had a song with the title “Bette Davis Eyes.”
Alanis Morissette
There was a time when Rolling Stones called Alanis Morrissette the “Queen of Alt-Rock Angst.” This is the truth, so we are not even going to try to argue with that. She has since sold more than 75 million records. Apart from this, she has worked as a record producer too. Her mezzo-soprano vocal range is truly amazing. In 1995, she released a rock album called “Jagged Little Pill.” It sold over 33 million copies and received a rock musical adaptation in 2017. It raked in 15 nominations at the Tony Awards.
