Can you “fall in love” with a voice?

Or at least go all gooey over one?
My mum used to love listening to the actor Alan Badel on the radio - his smooth tones absolutely “sent” her grin
I was dozing in bed last night to last weekend’s “Golden Age of Broadway” Prom on BBC Sounds - songs from all my favourite musicals but woke up to hear Clarke Peters (the actor) singing This Nearly Was Mine from South Pacific. What a beautiful rich, smooth deep voice he has, like a mug of Hôtel Chocolat cocoa, and I was well away!
If you are interested it’s about 38 minutes or so in, on last Saturdays Prom on BBC Sounds

Cary Grant used to make me swoon with his lovely voice and now it's George Clooney, Antony Hopkins and Idris Elba.

Alan Rickman, Peter Ustinov and... Gilbert Harding! If you can't remember Gilbert Harding, you are younger than I am...

Apparently he was quite an unpleasant man, but how was I to know that? Apparently, at age 3, I used to tell my parents to 'Shush!' When he came on the radio.

No-one has mentioned Rene-John Paige from Bridgerton. Yes, I know he's younger than my sons, but he has a voice like treacle... Heaven

Rumoured to be the next James Bond I believe….

Yes, I have loved a number of "voices" and , as has already been commented - found the owner of the voice was a disappointment, in person.
Yul Brynner was an early "love" for me, as was Richard Burton - and certainly Sean Connery and Alan Rickman, as well.
There are too many singers to name, whose voices I love to listen to!
