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.
Sam Cooke, Dean Martin, Sinatra, Marvin Gay, Tony bennit, Smokey Robinson and I LOVE the Ames Brothers....So many singers today can harmonize...its a lost art.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. There are a great many reasons why he is one of the most recorded artists in history. Perhaps the greatest lieder singer of all time.
Surprising to me that no 'old pfarts'(remember Carrol O'Connor's 'Music for....')mentioned,just for the resonant beauty of the voices,Ed Ames,solo,and Brook Benton. Cheers...D4W.
