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.

      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.

      Sure I remember and it was great but does that mean John Belushi is one of your favorite male singers? LOL

        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.

        Oh yeah, and how about "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)?  Great song.


      Don't worry about my aggrevations.  I was just venting.  Things clear up but unfortunately they don't last long.  Been kicked off several times today.

      Hi Lenny,


      Do you remember what year that was that you saw Burton and Nils with Ringo's All Starr Band?  I saw them both with him also and wondered if it was the same year.  I also got to see Burton with The Guess Who.  Did you see my photos in the group photos?

        Just trying to keep my list short ....


      Is that the real reason or wasn't he one of your favorite Beatles?  I myself wouldn't have eliminated him when naming the other three but that's just me.

       Hi Janese,it was 1992 and it was a special evening because Nils family was in the audience and Ringo being the showman he is acknowledged it to the crowd and let Nils take center stage for the longest song of the evening.The reason I said Burton Cummings stole the show in an earlier post is because he had the crowd on there feet with the medley of songs he performed and boy was his voice on that night.

      Hi Lenny,


      Well, I looked back at my concert ticket stubs and that was the same year I saw them.  It was June 25, 1992 at Summerfest here in Milwaukee.  Do you remember what your ticket cost?  How nice for Nils to have his family there.  I think Burton Cummings has one of the greatest voices I've ever heard.  My favorite song is "Stand Tall".  I love it.

      Paul Rodgers


      His solo/accoustic version of Feel like makin love is a gem. 

        Hi


      thank you for adding Paul Rodgers.  I don't think he was here yet although I am not sure but he definately should be.  He has a really powerful voice and I like him a lot.  I don't actually know that  much about him.  


      I am going to have to look for that version.

      Hey no problem.  I love to chat.  My ticket cost me $10.00.  The concert was held during our 11 day festival called Summerfest.  Summerfest has one great big area with several stages for different bands and they also have a big amphitheater.  Some of the seats are covered and some are bleachers and then there is also lawn seating.  We were in the covered seat section.  The other area of Summerfest requires a separate ticket which you must have even if you are only attending the main concert.  The good thing is that there are many ways to get in free to Summerfest and that's what we usually do.  There are many promotion days.  For instance, you can bring three cans of food and get in free.  Then you stay for a few hours and get your hand stamped and you can come back later or just stay all day listening to some great music.  In 1992 we saw a lot of great concerts for very little money at Summerfest.  In fact, that's probably my biggest concert year.


      Sounds like you had some great seats for Nils.  It must have given him great joy to have his family present.
