Should have mentioned the EV RE16 (or RE15) in my previous post.

Not quite as clean on the top as the RE20, and that can be a GOOD thing for those of us with some sibilance! (ahem)

Anyway, most all the Chess vocals between the mid 60's and early 70's were done on a RE15 or EV 666 ("RE20-like").

Come to think of it, the EV 635a would be smart to include in your vocal kit too. Very underated.
It'd be the first try on bluesy vocals personally,
although YMMV with a different singer.

The cool thing about all these EV's is that microphone placement is somewhat less critical
vs. garden variety cardiod dynamics.
