There are singers, bands, personalities, and the bottom feeders who have distinct voices, musical sounds, etc. that you can instantly recognize simply by hearing it. For example The Beach Boys have a distinct sound in their music. You can easily recognize it as them.

Your choices can living or dead.

Here's another one - Kevin Seitzer, former MLB infielder (who ended his playing career with my hometown Indians) and most recently a hitting coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Even though he hails from the Midwest, he has a very twangy drawl of a voice. A friend I had in high school could imitate his voice perfectly. :lol:
