"It was quiet in Balducci's, with only the sounds of cash registers pinging and a few shoppers chatting as they hunched over coffee and croissants. But Talley's voice, with its Pavarotti-like range and unique timbre, rang out at times like a bugle, the kind once used to command soldiers to charge on the battlefield---though Talley tends to use his instrument to tell women what to wear."
From the article, The Eyeful Power, by Vanessa Grigoriadis in the September issue of Vanity Fair.
I stood behind him at the cash register at Dean & Delucca in SoHo once and he does have a low, booming voice but also melodious. Interesting fellow.
