FAVORITE MALE SINGERS OF ANY GENRE

Well, we can't leave the guys out can
we?  Who are your favorite male singers of any
genre?  I'm not talking bands here but solo artists.  Of
course, if they were in a band and also went solo you can still name
them such as Jon Bon Jovi or Richie Sambora both of whom are members
of the group Bon Jovi but have also gone solo.  Here's some of
mine from times past to the present:



Frank Sinatra,
Perry Como, Dean Martin, Brook Benton, Jerry Butler, Conway Twitty,
Johnny Cash, Charley Pride, Johnny Tillotson, Donovan,
Eddie Cochran, Gene McDaniels, Glen Yarborough, Neil Young, Bob
Dylan, John Fogerty, John Mellencamp, Eric Clapton, and so many more.



You may also name
your favorite male singer from a band but not the band itself. 
For instance, we all know that Diane loves the band Aerosmith
but she would say Steven Tyler.

      Burton Cummings is great!   Janese posted some pics of him in July in our group pics. They should be on the 4th page of pictures. 


    Somebody just mentioned wanting to see Ringo's All Star Band.  I think it was Adrian in the topic of groups you want to see.  Geez my memory lasts for about 5 seconds sometimes.

    Well, you've certainly come up with quite a list.  Some mentioned before and some not but let me ask you this how can you have George, Paul and Ringo on your list and not include John Lennon? 

      Just trying to keep my list short ....

    Hey D.,



    Well, I posted a
    long message here yesterday and got the oops.  Seems you picked
    another one that is not a favorite of mine but that's okay. 
    "In the Air Tonight" is about the only song I do like by
    this group but they are favorites of my girlfriend Barb and as I've
    probably told you she is not a fan of Bon Jovi so I don't mind
    your liking them too.  Maybe one day I'll give them more of a
    shot but I just never could stand Phil.



    I did want to
    mention another singer that we may have forgotten here and that's
    Canadian singer Bryan Adams.

      Hi J


    I have gotten into the habit of copying every post I do before I hit the reply button so if I get the dreaded oops I don't have to go back and retype everything ... not to mention that I don't remember everything  haha

    Thanks for the tip but copy/paste doesn't always work and I spend enough time messing around with this site.  I've been in three times trying to answer all the posts that keep piling up and I'll get one done and then I go to answer another and I get the oops again.  Had to go all the way out and wait and come back.  I'm really getting very fed up with the whole thing.


    Getting back to Bryan Adams "Cuts Like A Knife" is great but my favorite is the "Summer of 69" even though 1969 is the year I married my first husband and those memories aren't pleasant I still love the song.

      Hi J


    Ya I have to give it to you.......  Summer of 69  is a great song.  It expresses alot of great sentiments that I think we all can relate to : )


    D.


    as for the system and the problems  yes it gets old.  Copy and paste doesn't always work but sometimes it saves me.  If I am doing a long post to someone I might even copy it to an email and leave it there till I see it is updated here.  Should you have to, def. no.   Sorry you are so aggrevated.  Hope things clear up soon.

    Hey, do you all remember
    this........   It was one of John Belushi's best bits
    IMHO  : )





     
    1976 - Joe Cocker appears on NBC-TV's ``Saturday
    Night Live.'' He performs a duet of ``Feelin' Alright'' with John
    Belushi in which Belushi does a memorable Cocker imitation.
