Best Male Singers of the 20th Century

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.

Gino Vannelli ranks with the best ever. His early jazz-fusion(1969-1978)will really suprise you

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.

This is the description of a CD available from acousticsounds.com

It was Irving Berlin, perhaps the greatest American composer, who observed, "It's nothing new to say that Fred Astaire is a great dancer... what is even more important to those of us who ever wrote songs for him was that he was also a great singer. Fred introduced and was responsible for more hit songs than many of the top singers. He knew the value of a song and his heart was in it before his feet took over."
