Frank Sinatra..Ol' Blue Eyes is always worth a listen to, regardless of mood.

David Bowie..What a tome of work; possibly unprecedented.

Harry Chapin...I wish I could have seen him live.

Roger Whittaker...

Elvis Presly..THE king ( I really enjoyed that "bodyguard" movie)

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan..Haunting

Stevie Wonder..Nuff said

Ray Charles...More Nuff said

Tom Jones...Am I showing my age yet?

Leonard Cohen!

[SnakeDoctor]

Josh Groban has to be on that list. He honestly has among the best voices I’ve ever heard. I’d put Harry Connick Jr. on there, too.

I like Toby Keith and Brad Paisley a lot ... but I won’t pretend they’re even in the ballpark.

Forget Roger Whitaker. He was the creation of a company similar to K-tel to sell albums on TV.

I think WGN in Chicago was the only station I knew that played his stuff.

[AFreeBird]

The Man in Black

The Great Satchmo

[Frantzie]

I would rather listen to - and I will get flamed for it - Cat Stevens work versus Leonard Cohen. A lot of it was lefty crap and he has beccome a hard core Muslim but some of the songs were quite good. So weird because I think he was born a Christian Cypriot? He totally lost the plot.

Yes, he truly is “Mr. Relaxation”

Still can’t stop laughing...

[Beckwith]

David Bowie?

Stopped reading right there.

[boknows]

Probably could consider Elton John and Michael Jackson. While they often did not LOOK like male artists, they might be considered decent musicians with “top ten” credentials.

[Quix]

How about some online links to some favorite songs by favorite singers in such threads?
