It's happened to all of us. You thought the singer whose voice you were listening to was a female, but it was a male. Or vice versa.

For example, for this morning's Vinyl Tap, Jill played "Love Buzz" by Shocking Blue, featuring lead singer Mariska Veres. Most of Jill's life, she thought Mariska's voice belonged to a male. Maybe you've experienced the same with another band or song.

So for today's Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear from singers who surprised you?

Thanks to listener Nate for the suggestion.
