{Vocal Summary}
A shining star in the catalog of 80s pop metal, in terms of singing prowess, David Coverdale might be the greatest singer of that whole period. With Plant-esque raspy highs very commonly reaching all the way up to G5 in songs such as Crying in The Rain and Slow an' Easy, Coverdale also pursued a strong, rich vibrato in his low register at points such as the F♯2s in Restless Heart or the G♯2s in Wherever You May Go, which was amplified as he got older. In his early years in Deep Purple, David Coverdale utilized a soulful tone in his high range that he kept developing as he went through the early Whitesnake period from around 1978 to 1983. As the music became more energetic, so did his voice, using less of a sensual vibrato to the point of a howling demon, and he has sustained this technique, even into his 70s. In terms of voice typings go, Coverdale is most certainly a baritone with a very bulky high register, which is further demonstrated with his harmonies with Glenn Hughes in Deep Purple, usually taking lower counterparts to Glenn’s squealing howl and in various songs that he has written in his older age using his lower range. Even if Coverdale doesn’t fit your taste in terms of voices, you can’t deny that he certainly has the chops to sing his heart, soul and vocal cords out however much he pleases.

A shining star in the catalog of 80s pop metal, in terms of singing prowess, David Coverdale might be the greatest singer of that whole period. With Plant-esque raspy highs very commonly reaching all the way up to G5 in songs such as Crying in The Rain and Slow an' Easy, Coverdale also pursued a strong, rich vibrato in his low register at points such as the F♯2s in Restless Heart or the G♯2s in Wherever You May Go, which was amplified as he got older.
