Known as the Queen of Screamers and the Tigress of Cremona, Mina possessed a startling voice, with her three-octave range impressing Italo icon Giorgia as well as alt-metal vocalist Mike Patton. This isn’t surprising as Mina excelled in blues and jazz as well as plain old rock ‘n’ roll—making her a renegade who equally inspired glam and noise bands as much as classic pop vocalists.
