There is an interesting current discussion about the best female vocalists on CD. I have my own ideas about the best male singers (any category) of the 20th Century, but would like to hear other opinions.
Frank Sinatra Placido Domingo Jimmy Scott Little Willie John Greg Allman Joe Williams Mel Torme Roger Daltrey Tony Bennett Magic Sam Big Bill Broonzy Marvin Gaye Sam Cooke Elvis Presley Johnny Hartman Enrico Caruso Stevie Wonder Oscar Brown Jr.
WHAT?? Bob Dylan best singer? You MUST be joking! That spoiled, middle-class, New York city boy (old man, now)over-the-hill hippie (life is tough - the butler treats me mean and the cook won't make me no lunch)doesn't even have the least little bit of a singing voice.
John Lennon. Freddie Mercury ain't too shabby, either. When he goes into that scat duirng "Another One Bites The Dust," it's one of the best moments in R&R, to me, anyway.
