All his amazing power and range aside, the first thing that comes to my mind about Chris is his soul-touching expression. His unplugged performaces really bring out all the character in Chris’s voice. His acoustic cover of I Will Always Love You sounds like the man was crying. Absolute greatness.
I agree with you. I'd add that he had a masterful use of irony in his songwriting that added emotional depth. For ex., "When I'm Down," especially some of his live performances, always piques my interest and emotional investment. Apropos: "I only love you when I'm down... But one thing for you to keep in mind is I'm down all the time."
For me...he's the greatest rock singer by far. His voice makes you feel emotion....It touches the soul....ALL THE TIME. He was one of a kind!! A freakin master 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah, I don't think people realise how quietly Chris is singing. It sounds like he's really pushing hard, but you can hear all the consonants and the vowels aren't much louder. Even when you're hearing him raw through a camera's mic. It sounds like he's using the air really efficiently, even though he's not really known for long screams. I see people cover him and their face is red and their neck is bulging, and that's clearly not what he's doing. He's not constipated!
Chris Cornell was very talented I love his songs when I was a teenager black hole sun was playing back to back on MTV I fell in love with Soundgarden and Temple of the dog and later Audioslave. Rest easy Chis you are missed and it’s a shame his wife and members of soundgarden are feuding over money now.
It is a shame. She is claiming that songs that Chris wrote with members of Soundgarden were actually songs he wrote for himself rather than SG, despite in many interviews prior to his death he said that he was writing for SG. You see, she doesn't get any royalties from SG songs, Chris' first wife Susan Silver does as part of that divorce settlement.
"What makes this singer great?" Everything. What a talent. I also have him as my personal second-best songwriter ever, behind Townes Van Zandt. Plus he was a good guitarist and drummer!
He has such a powerful booming voice that commands and captivates the audience. Yet in an interview he is so soft spoken. Ken not sure you did a reaction to Scott Weiland but, would be a great one. His acoustic version of Plush is awesome!
@@kentamplin I got some suggestions for this series, Ken: Frank Sinatra, Mick Jagger, and Tom Jones. They are such timeless and distinctive voices. You could do a video on one of them, or on all three if you want to.
The first thing that comes to mind is my Ballet teacher older sister listening to Chris sing a cover of Ave Maria on a Christmas song compilation. She’s not a Soundgarden fan and was very surprised by his tone and range in that cover. His versatility and incredible gift is the first thing I think of.
Chris is one of my favorite singers. I remember the 1st time I heard him on the song Jesus Christ Pose from Badmotorfinger. I was like this guy is a power house. Temple of the Dog is amazing and Chris's vocals are amazing through out this album. I always try to push my vocals when singing and Chris is an inspiration for me. I miss him he was so talented.
Power, range, songwriting ability. Who can ever forget the long curly hair and long black shorts with no shirt look? The other-worldly vocals in Jesus Christ pose. He said that no-one ever really complimented him on his songwriting ability until Johnny Cash covered Rusty Cage. So many classics he wrote with SG, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog and as a solo artist. The post-humous grammy as well for a stellar song (When Bad Does Good). Too many classics to mention, but a few of my favourites are Spoonman, The Day I Tried to Live, Cochise, Hunger Strike, Say Hello to Heaven, Call me a Dog, Like a Stone, Show me how to Live, & Fell on Black Days. Then his solo work... wow.... Nearly Forgot my Broken Heart, Murderer of Blue Skies, and Sweet Euphoria. Then there was his stunning rendition of Prince's "Nothing Compares to u". His beautiful friendship with Chester Bennington was a highlight including when they performed Hunger Strike together on stage and Chester did Chris' high parts while Chris sang the Eddie Vedder bits. Undoubtedly his most important work with the movie "The Silent Children" will never see the light of day. Gone but not forgotten, a great loss to the world on so many levels.
I'll never forget the first time I ever heard, Cornell. Headbangers Ball - Outshined video I remeber sitting there thinking.....whotf was this I just watched? Outshined will always be my fave. The guy is on an elite level with Coverdal,Perry, Mili but always seemed humbled and never an ounce of arrogance. Or so it seemed. A God Given effortless gift. The world lost what seemed to me a great gentleman. Hope to hear him again one day.
No 'What makes this singer great' series would be complete without Chris Cornell. He had brilliant songwriting skills and epic range. The voice of my youth. The only musician who's passing really bummed me out. Great tribute to him coming up to the anniversary of his death. RIP
I've always loved Chris' song "Sweet Euphoria". It's such an underrated amazing song of his that I wish got played more on the radio. If I could sing that's the song that I would love to cover!
Chris Cornell is deffo one of the best rock singers of all time, so soulful and powerful. I would like you to make a video analysing Sebastian Bach's singing
He was my favorite singer of the modern era. I get hooke with him since soundgarden. I get very sad when he died, incredible talent, a true artist indeed,
love Chris, my favorite singer of that era! What gets me is his expressiveness... his songs are dark, and so were his vocals. I couldn't imagine him singing "Shiny Happy People" lol! One thing that I have to note, Pete Thorn(who played in Cornell's solo band), said that Chris wasn't a loud singer, even though it sounds it.
Ah Dude, you made my day. Love this guy for so many reasons, singing, artistry, advocacy, humility, honestly the list goes on. Awesome guy, greatly missed by those who appreciate what he had to offer. #onlythegooddieyoung
Hello! I am Brazilian but a big fan of Chirs Cornell. He's my favorite singer and always will be! I am always very happy when you make videos about him. I hope more videos like these will come. Big hug!
For me, what comes to mind when I think of Chris Cornell are Soundgarden, Audioslave, and his killer wail! The way he screamed the crap out of those high notes on songs like Hunger Strike, Outshined, and Show Me How To Live is really amazing. It's such a shame how we lost him so soon. Chris will live on through his music.
@@kentamplinOne song that has always been difficult for me and has amazed me in different ways than his norm is When I'm down. Would be cool to see you do a rendition of that one!
When I listen to Chris sing, I hear a "wall of sound". It just seems like he's able to belt out low/high notes simultaneously like nobody else...He's definitely my favorite with Layne a close second. I'm no musician but I do aspire to be able to belt out "Say Hello To Heaven" in a respectable manner someday. Keep up the great work Ken. I have a feeling I'll be using your service soon. Thanks !
Jesus Christmas the range on this guy is unholy! His distortion is unlike anything I've ever heard how is he getting that distortion and compression at the same time while going that high all at once ? I agree Ken he's my favorite Singer of all time but I was happy to hear you say that he was your favorite from his era that speaks volumes! He deserves even more credit IMO.. thanks! Ken I've mentioned a few times if you ever get around to his song when I'm down I'd love to hear what you think about it even a short video!
I remember the first time I saw Soundgarden was on Headbangers Ball way back in 1990. First thought... these dudes are freakin' fantastic and that singer is on another planet.
Temple of the Dog, if I'm correct, actually came about with Chris Cornell wanting to pay tribute to Andrew Wood, and Eddie Vedder only came in because Pearl Jam (back when the band was named Mookie Blaylock) were recording in the same studio as Temple of the Dog, and they were leaving as Temple of the Dog came in. Eddie stayed behind and heard Chris struggling with the lower notes in Hunger Strike, and that's how that duet came to be.
Hey Ken, I always love your material. Chris was great with half steps, and he could really transform his own songs with some pretty unique phrasing choices with the notes he had to work with. Besides his range and color this always impressed me the most. Might want to check out and do a review of the singer Kelly Hanson. Now with Foreigner of course, but he had great power and range in Hurricane. The songs 10,000 Years or Spark In My Heart are two very good examples. He could get and stay up there that's for sure! Enjoy, and thanks again for what you do Ken!
I tried something myself with the "AHH" vowel but with actually singing a line from a song in a low note and gradually going up and it helped a lot, the song was granade from bruno mars and I was surprised with how easy it was to increase my range this way.... All thanks to Ken and his tips 👍
I’m not a singer, can’t sing a lick, and don’t know what notes are sung in any songs. However, my favorite singer is Gregg Allman and I would love to hear, from a singer’s perspective, what makes him great. I couldn’t tell you why I like him so much other than I really like the way he sounds. Never having sung or played a musical instrument myself, I’d love to hear your perspective on how someone like Gregg stands above. Sure, I can can tell who can sing and who can’t, but there are certain artists who just sound different. Gregg Allman is one of those singers to me.
Huge Soundgarden fan. On the back story of Temple Of The Dog if you aren't familiar with it. Chris was Andy Wood's room mate and after he passed, they formed Temple Of The Dog with members of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden to pay tribute.
Very interesting how you describe everything in such depth. I enjoy analyzing his lyrics but hadn't really thought about how he actually sang his music until I came across your channel. (love all your shirts, btw). I'm still so sad he is gone, but feel very blessed we have his music to live on in our hearts. He is truly my favorite singer of all time. 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you for this! Chris along with Layne are on my top favorite singers. One thing I like about Chris besides his power, tone and passion, is how he really connected and commanded the stage. He was a true artist with a great talent and charisma.
Ken u did Layne Staley I believe last week but u also should consider doing Jerry Cantrill as well. When ever I hear or think of Alice in Chains I always thought of them as a band that contained 2 great singers that could've sang lead on any given night....
Hey there, Megan from Australia here, love love love Chris Cornell.. So big thumbs up from me :-) Love to hear bout Adele or Janis Joplin.. P.S love ur voice. Very talented!!
Great video! In my opinion, Chris's unique vocals is what made him stand out amongst the others during the 90's (Seattle) grunge era. Any chance of doing 'RICHIE KOTZEN'? His voice is by far the most underrated but yet powerful! Cheers.
Please listen to Chester Bennington singing Hallelujah at Chris Cornell’s funeral. I think it is the most heartfelt presentation of the song. In the final chorus I hear his voice going through shock, rage, depression, pleading and then to acceptance on that final hallelujah. Chester, as you surely know, ended up taking his life only 3 months later on Chris Cornell’s birthday. I would love to hear a video about Chester in this format. Chester’s voice was at once delicate, ferocious and always full of emotion.
Wow you are progressive 😊 Watching you explain Chris Cornell one of my favorite singers you got him right on. The last voice teacher just contradicted herself explaining him. Well done 👍
We greatly appreciate what you do, Mr. Tamplin, and thank you for the Chris Cornell analysis. I would love to see you do a rundown on Mike Patton down the line. Gracias!!
Ken, I love your work and I bought your course and everything is going awesome, but I just wanted to help you out with one tiny thing: a "takedown" is where you drag someone through the mud and sully their reputation, and a "breakdown" is where you examine them closely. You say you're going to do "takedowns" of more singers, but I think you mean breakdowns!! Again, besides that, great video, love Chris and very thankful to you for your course!
Chris was amazing. Nice low register he definitely can hit the high notes as well 👍😀. Your spot on with that covered sound Ken. I never really knew how to describe it 👍 learning a lot thanks again 😀😀😀

It seems like Chris is the most respected rock singer among his contemporaries and peers
For sure.
Very true.... Alice Cooper said he was the complete package..... voice, guitar ability, songwriting and looks.
Pretty sure that is the case with anyone who has heard him.
Respected and admired by them all.
He was just miles above
Jack Black once said: "Chris Cornell sings music notes that doesn't even exist"
Indeed!
😄😄 i love Jack Black
And when he does a portal opens
@@dinodigger8807 That gives new meaning to "Say Hello 2 Heaven," sure.
Facts!!
All his amazing power and range aside, the first thing that comes to my mind about Chris is his soul-touching expression. His unplugged performaces really bring out all the character in Chris’s voice. His acoustic cover of I Will Always Love You sounds like the man was crying. Absolute greatness.

PeteFurlong Tunes ❤️
For me...he's the greatest rock singer by far.
His voice makes you feel emotion....It touches the soul....ALL THE TIME.
He was one of a kind!!
A freakin master
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!
Superman, vocal GOD! Chris was one of the best ever! 🤘
Thank you.
Try to learn Blow Up The Outside World on guitar, and just watch how many chords there are. He’s just so incredible at song writing
Chris is hands down the most energetic grunge vocalist who has mastered compression.. Killer tone..
Waiting for something on Myles Kennedy 🤘🤘

One of the greatest singers there’s every been. He could literally sing a phone book and it would sound awesome.
"What makes this singer great?" Everything. What a talent. I also have him as my personal second-best songwriter ever, behind Townes Van Zandt. Plus he was a good guitarist and drummer!
Nice!
He brings so much raw emotion into his singing. And I think that's why his version of "Nothing compares 2 u" is the best version of it.
I agree, Autismo!
Chris Cornell had it all the voice the stage presence the look and nothing is better than a lead singer that can Play🎸
Indeed!
We love and miss you Chris.
We do!
Cornell is pretty much my favorite singer. "Beyond the Wheel" and "Black Rain" show off his range and power.
Rock on! 👍 💗

That's great stories about him..i like it ken
Rock on! 🎤
Please listen to Chester Bennington singing Hallelujah at Chris Cornell’s funeral. I think it is the most heartfelt presentation of the song. In the final chorus I hear his voice going through shock, rage, depression, pleading and then to acceptance on that final hallelujah. Chester, as you surely know, ended up taking his life only 3 months later on Chris Cornell’s birthday. I would love to hear a video about Chester in this format. Chester’s voice was at once delicate, ferocious and always full of emotion.
I have. Incredibly moving.
Wow you are progressive 😊 Watching you explain Chris Cornell one of my favorite singers you got him right on. The last voice teacher just contradicted herself explaining him. Well done 👍
Cool, thanks!
Umm. Incredible, range and a beast!!
Absolutely, Jeff!
We greatly appreciate what you do, Mr. Tamplin, and thank you for the Chris Cornell analysis. I would love to see you do a rundown on Mike Patton down the line. Gracias!!
Great suggestion!
Ken, I love your work and I bought your course and everything is going awesome, but I just wanted to help you out with one tiny thing: a "takedown" is where you drag someone through the mud and sully their reputation, and a "breakdown" is where you examine them closely. You say you're going to do "takedowns" of more singers, but I think you mean breakdowns!! Again, besides that, great video, love Chris and very thankful to you for your course!
Glad to hear the course is working out for you, Tim. Rock on!
Chris was amazing. Nice low register he definitely can hit the high notes as well 👍😀. Your spot on with that covered sound Ken. I never really knew how to describe it 👍 learning a lot thanks again 😀😀😀
