Singing Voice
Pike was a lyric tenor but had difficulty beginning with the top A and, although he could go higher, he tended to avoid the higher tenor notes. In his memoirs the producer and recording engineer Fred Gaisberg remembered Pike as a "silver-voiced tenor". The singer George Baker said of Pike: "He had a smooth tenor voice that was easy to record because of its even quality". However, Baker also thought Pike's style to be "unemotional".
