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.

    I wonder if anyone's mentioned Axl Rose?  I think he has one of the most "versatile" voices I've ever heard.  Pretty hard to imitate, although I've seen (and heard) a tribute band called "Get Your Guns" a couple of times here in San Juan and they sound exactly the same as the real thing.

    YES!  I love this video.  I already have it as one of my favorites in my youtube.com account.  When they performed here in P.R two years ago, that song was the highlight of the night.  Axl still has it!  And of course I was in front row!

    Wow, front row.  How awesome was that?  This is my favorite song by them as well.  I also love "Sweet Child 'O Mine".

    Bryan Adams is another one of my favorites along with former Journey lead singer Steve Perry, Kevin Cronin from REO Speedwagon, Peter Frampton, Elton John, Peter Cetera and several others which I obviously can't remember right now..., but eventually I will someday, LOL.

    I'd say that one's "everybody's favorite" since it's the only song I hear everyone sing entirely, lol.

    I just mentioned
    Bryan Adams a few postings back.  Love Kevin Cronin from
    REO.  Saw them at our State Fair and they were great.  All
    the others you mentioned are great too.  I also love Robin
    Zander from Cheap Trick.

    How about "Welcome to the Jungle"?  Though I must admit "Sweet Child 'O Mine" was always getting played on the jukebox in the bars.

    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. 

      No, I really liked him as an artist but EVERYONE always mentions him ... I was trying NOT to jump on that bandwagon.  Frankly, one of my cousins got me very interested in him (as an individual) back when he was in the Beatles.  She let me read his book "In His Own Write" , which I thought was fantastic.  John was the rebel of the bunch, how could you not love that?


    I never did like doing what everyone expected.
