~ Singers who sounded like a member of the opposite sex, when you first heard them


Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits: First hearing this on the radio, I thought it was a woman. (The video starts in a ladies' beauty parlor and he is a vampire. Props for that.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orJSJGHjBLI

Jackson 5 - I'll Be There. I thought Michael Jackson was a girl or woman when I first heard this on the radio. He was still a kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-apaIOOoAo

Post a link to the song, if you think of others.

Prince. I don't know the name of the "song" but it was truly horrendous.

The Neverending Story theme song. It's a white dude, not an old black woman.

reply

Well, it's a duet between a white dude and a young black woman. They do both sound like women, though.

reply

Yes I had no idea that one was a man. 😅

How about The Bee Gees?
