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 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.

    Yes, Frank was great.  His son Dweezil just played the other day at our 11 day music festival called Summerfest.  He's calling his tour Zappa plays Zappa.  He got a great review in our local Milwaukee Journal.  I got to see Arlo at the University Wisconsin Milwaukee campus.  What a great concert that was.  I love the pickle song and I love the song Alice's Restaurant and the movie too.

      Michael Bolton at the 1990 Grammy Awards



     


    Here's a favorite of mine.  Known for his soft rock ballads and tenor vocals Michael Bolton. 

    He's also a great songwriter.  He wrote "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" for Laura Branigan who took it to #1 on the adult contemporary charts.  He then wrote "I Found Someone" for Laura who had a minor hit with it but Cher resurrected the song and her singing career with it two years later.  Michael went on to co-write more songs for these two singers.  He has also written songs for such artists as Barbara Streisand, Kenny G, Patti LaBelle, Kenny Rogers and Peabo Bryson.

    His achievements include selling 53 million albums, eight top ten albums, two number one singles on the Billboard charts, and awards from both the American Music Awards and Grammy Awards

      Oh yes


    I have his CD's   A very soulful voice and quite cute as well  : )


    Diane


    If I remember correctly he took a lot of heat in the beginning for being good looks and not enough voice but I believe he proved them wrong.

    Yes, he's definitely sexy.  Nicolette Sheridan sure thinks so.  She's gone back to him twice.  I have some great photos of Michael in concert.  I was in the third row.  I also have some pics of him at a charity baseball game here in Milwaukee.  I even have one of him getting kissed by Nicolette during the game.  That was the first time they were going together.

    That was torture alright.  I remember seeing that bed at the Rock 'n Roll Museum.  We were there during the John Lennon exhibit.

    You are probably right.  I have a few CD's and some great photos of him that I took.  Haven't listened to him for awhile so I might have to drag them out again.  I could use some "Time, Love and Tenderness".
