I think you can make a good argument that this group had the finest collection of singing voices of any group of all time... and as pointed out, it was all natural without even any vocal lessons.  The weakest singer was who, Dennis?  Mike?  They both had fantastic voices.  Their worst singer was better than most bands lead. 

Closest collection of singing talent I can think of is the Tempting Temptations, but even they fall at the feet of the mighty Beach Boys....

yup, and I know this has been said before but even with 3 people instead of the regular 5 (or 6) sound just as great; I was just listening to "Wishing You Were Here" Al, Denny, and Carl  Listening beautiful

Agreed, even if I can only mainly recognize Carl's voice in that. It's a shame Denny got replaced by Mike in the video  Angry

Dennis is the low voice (you can really hear him when they say "change my life, change my life"; Carl was the middle and Al was the high one (I think).  and Mike is just... what made them all decide to wear those ridiculous outfits  Huh plus they were matching, I thought they gave up matching outfits in the late 60s

Maybe I put too much faith in atmosphere

BTW, hope no-one is bothered by me assembling this information in one place. Just thought it might be useful for others with the same question to refer to.

Bothered??! It's a fantastic piece of work----as essential as John's lead vocals topic. Thank you so much, Zach.
