Living proof that sometimes, all you really need to be a {{Badass}} is the [[BadassBaritone perfect voice]]. A noted actor of stage and screen, James Earl Jones (January 17, 1931-) is famous for his deep voice that can either be [[EvilSoundsDeep sinister]] (e.g. Darth Vader) or paternal (Mufasa), but is regardless authoritative and commanding -- even more so when you consider he had to [[StutterStop overcome a severe stutter in his youth]]. His voice is also remarkable for being naturally [[BassoProfondo of bass register]], which is indeed very rare. He gets a fair amount ''more'' respect on the stage, where he was a fixture on the African-American art-theater circuit (he was the lead at the opening performance in several of August Wilson's ''Pittsburgh Cycle'', most famously ''Theatre/{{Fences}}''.)

There are [[Music/JustinBieber only two]] [[BigNo things]] that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkDbTEemErA don't sound right in his voice.]]
