Best Male Singers of the 20th Century

Adamanteus & Kevziek, I just went back and read Kevziek's comment, and agree 100%. That's why my vote for the single, sole, only best singer of the 20th C is Merle Haggard. I did like William Bolcom (sp?) a lot. Opera singers are a dime a dozen. Real men who can interpret real men's songs are few and far between.

Well, gee coach....

T'was only a wild guess.
So who the hell is it?

I dont know. I said my guess is Beniamino Gigli. Maybe somebody should send an Audiogon email to Tubegroover and ask him.

Ok, sent an email. Before he responds, let me guess again; John McCormack.

You got it Paul, the Great Irish Tenor, I'm impressed. Now I wonder, how many have even heard of him? His first recordings were made when Louie Armstrong was a little boy.
