Touch Me, by the Doors is a rock song that actually showcases the singer’s ability to sing and be understood, without wailing at a high pitch. (Back when my wife listened to rock, she turned off the radio when a man singing in a high voice came on, such as Frankie Valli or Robert Plant. Elvis, they weren’t.)
Did she try listening to any Iron Maiden?
“...And whaddaya do? Ya join The Mothers and Zappa _makes_ you be a creep! Why, you could be singin’ the blues with John Maynor or makin’ far out exciting jazz with Blood, Sweat, and Tears!”
“Gee, ya really think so???”
“Listen. The only way to make it in this biz is to either play the blues or sing with a high voice!”
“You’re right. I _never_ shoulda joined The Mothers! Why, I could be a STAR now!!!...”
