Seven octaves (!)  Kate Bush  

I'm having trouble understanding how this is humanly possible.  Can anyone confirm?  

Mariah Carey's press info says 6 octaves, but that turned out to be a big ol' lie.

Dar Williams, 3 octaves according to her press materials

"Rolilng Stone," as read from the 
link in Wednesday's digest (I haven't bought a paper copy yet,) Joni credits 
her old self with a three-octave vocal range. Here is a short list of vocal 
ranges claimed by, or for, several other women that I've read of recently:

Three octaves

Les Sampou (who just performed at the Delmarva Folk Festival)
Bet Williams
A local/regional type who performed at one of a series of noontime 
concerts last May in Denton, Md. (I didn't go).


Four octaves

Julia Fordham


Seven octaves (!)

Kate Bush


Who can add to this list? Feel free to add for men, also. Let's generally 
stay with singer-songwriters; I'm not sure including, say, opera singers 
would be useful.
