The sweetest voice in rock and the man who inspired Elvis Presley among many others would have turned seventy this month, but instead he died, unwanted and underappreciated thirty odd years ago. Clyde McPhatter possessed the most beautiful, purist, high tenor voice in r'n'b history. His sound came from the church and whilst many of rock's greatest moments came from the struggle between good and evil, Clyde's voice was heavenly all the way, there wasn't a drop of the devil to be seen. (It was voice, oh what a voice it was, it really was, such a voice ...)
