What voice type does Sonny Bono's collaborator on the album Chér have?
Cher Cher ( ; born Cherilyn Sarkisian; May 20, 1946) is an American singer and actress. Sometimes referred to as the Goddess of Pop, she has been described as embodying female autonomy in a male-dominated industry. She is known for her distinctive contralto singing voice and for having worked in numerous areas of entertainment, as well as adopting a variety of styles and appearances during her five-decade-long career.
Spinto soprano A spinto soprano (also lirico-spinto, spinto lyric soprano or "pushed lyric") is a type of operatic soprano voice that has the limpidity and easy high notes of a lyric soprano, yet can be "pushed" on to achieve dramatic climaxes without strain. This type of voice may possess a somewhat darker timbre, too, than the average lyric soprano. It generally uses "squillo" to "slice" through the sound of a full orchestra, rather than singing over the orchestra like a true dramatic soprano.
