Best Male Singers of the 20th Century

Years ago Pavarotti stated that Frank Sinatra was the greatest singer of the 20th Century. I concur with other's on this thread that he was the greatest. His voice during the 1940's when he was with Capitol was his best singing ever until 1951 when he severely tore his vocal cord's in a singing accident which caused permanent damage where he could no longer reach the upper octaves but still had a commanding powerful voice. He truely was the Chairman of the Board.

Joe Cocker's voice in the late 60's was unbeatable. Saw him on his first U.S. tour with his Grease Band. Knocked me out the window. At the time, I had a dream of putting Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin together to make an album which would have been the best blue's singing duo of all time.

Yeah sure. Janis can't sing the blues. Just ask Jim Morrison. OOPS, too late.

Stevie Wonder

Gregoy Porter is a live and kickin' and up there with the best of the past.
