Best Male Singers of the 20th Century

The best male singers of the 20th century can be categorized into eras. First there was Al Jolson, followed by Bing Crosby, than came Frank Sinatra, and than Elvis Presley. I don't know if I can include anyone after Elvis as being in contention for top male vocalist for the century, even though there were some great male singers. Out of the above mentioned singers, I would select Bing Crosby as the top male vocalist. I think he had the best singing voice of them all. Al Jolson would be second, Sinatra third, and than Elvis.

Mark Murphy - check out his latest, "Once to Every Heart". Over 70 years old!!!!

Matt Munro - Even Sinatra said he was the guvnor

Chris Cornell for rock music. Popular music I'd go with Frank Sinatra. Jazz I'd have to select Louis Armstrong.

If I was to follow my subjectivity, then for me it is Franco Makiadi and Burning Spear (probably you have never heard of them - you shouldn’t care either, they have not sold a million copy!

However, if I was to be pragmatic and objective, then it would be Stevie Wonder. He has more than thirty top 10 hits, 22 Grammy Awards, which is the most for a solo artist. If Stevie had only one hit song out of the several you already know, he would have been just as famous as he is today! That is genius
