I've said it many times, ranted many times about it and i still say that Frank Sinatra was the single greatest vocalist I've ever heard if only because his voice and his method of reading a song so that he inhabited it brought an unseen truth to songs.

Anyone else notice that Johnny Cash is more popular now, after he died, than he ever was when he was alive? :p

Although I was under the same illusion years ago, I find his voice suits his lyrics tremendously. The fact that he moves me emotionally must account for something.

I know it's a matter of taste, but I assume we are speaking of a combination of voice, style & appeal? My favorites are from the rock genre, but thanks to my upbringing, I have an appreciation of different kinds of music, and voices. Here goes (in no particular order):

Frank Sinatra
Connie Frances (in her prime anyway. She sang some beautiful Italian songs)
Mario Lanza (I grew up with his voice blaring on Sunday mornings)
Frankie Laine (Don't know why exactly, but I like his voice and style)
Whoever the lead singer in the Platters is (can't remember his name, but his voice was beautiful.)

Rod Stewart
Don Henley
John Lennon
Bob Dylan
Elvis Presley
Billy Joel

I'm leaving so many out, but this is a start anyway.

I think we're speaking of 'Favorite Vocalists'. In other words our personal favorites, whose stuff we buy and listen to.

Personal taste.
Personal favorites.

Awwwww yeah, BOI! *throws gang symbol*


"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.
