Me and mamselle were listening to FM on a 440 mile drive. There was a revue of Robert Preston's "ouevre" and it occurred to us, what other male voices are so instantly distinguishable.
I will add Luciano Pavoratti, Roberto Alagna and Frank Paterson!

Bill Nighy. I was in another room and my wife was watching a show with him in it. Instant recognition.
Singers? Dean Martin. Jacques Brel.

Each of these guys has come on TV behind my back unbeknownst to me, and I quickly said "Is that .... ??" and it was.
Henry Kissinger
Robert Reich
Tip O'Neill
BTW, Kissinger is still alive at 99. Reich is still a feisty little guy. I had Tip in "my" hall once and the rascally old drunk Irish story-teller was a joy to listen to. (I don't know how much of his act was a put-on.) Also hosted Reich and he's much better in person at length than the short(?) sound-bites on TV. No connection with any of these except being paid $9/hour to run microphone for Bob and Tip.

We sometimes listen to the SiriusXM '40's channel -- one voice I really dislike and instantly recognize is Vaughan Monroe.
The other would be Tiny Tim (and his ukelele)
