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.  

 

Hey

We havn't added a new guy to this topic for a few days and so I
would like to add another legend  Little Richard; a truly
unique performer and a great entertainer!!

Funny you should
mention "Little Richard" since he was just on
"The Young and the Restless" playing the part of a
minister in Las Vegas who marries Gloria & Jeff.  It was
hilarious.  Of course, he is an ordained minister.

Well, since I put
one of his record covers on the other topic I must mention one of my
hubby's favorite male singers here.  The late "Frank
Zappa".  I never knew his music until I met my hubby and I
couldn't help but laugh at songs like "Dinah Moe Humm, Suzy
Cream Cheese, Don't You Eat That Yellow Snow, Camarillo Brillo and
of course, Disco Boy.  And then there was the movie "200
Motels" a real classic.

 Not 'technically' a singer but does anybody remember Rod McKuen---a poet popular in the 1960's who sometimes put his words to music? Or am I just old:>). 

  If you are old,
then, so am I.  I have seen Rod McKuen in concert and loved
it.  I have some of his LP's, still, and all of his books of poetry.

My favorite line of his
is from a poem in "Listen to the Warm" :  
"..and so I hurry home to you
to use your belly as a cape to cover up the
day."  I love that!

Also, I don't think Steve Tyrrell
has been mentioned here.  What a guy.  He has such a
raspy, soft voice, and he does standards.  He kind of
brings romance back to music, and makes you want to dance up
close.  ::sigh!::

  I am a ::huge:: Zappa fan!  Those Mothers were great!  Their album, "Freak Out!" is one of my favorite things in the world.  I rocked my babies to sleep to two songs that made my mom crazy - -   "Wowie, Zowie" and Arlos Guthrie's "I Don't Want a Pickle."  My kids all grew up singing those two and  "Alice's Restaurant" as well.  Arlo was great.
