I sure never thought of Stevie as sounding raspy!

We used a KM-86 on his first productions and I understand the folks in New York and LA continued using KM-86s for the most part. What you don't want is a peaky mike like a cheap condenser. 87s and 67s with the pad engaged work great as do RE-20s, 666s, or most ribbons.
