FAVORITE MALE SINGERS OF ANY GENRE

[bonjovi]

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.

  Hi

and thank you for that youtube post. 

He made a lot of people happy with his music; sadly could not do the same for himself I guess.  I love that "unplugged" video of Kurt playing but sometimes I can barely stand to watch him do that last song.

Hi Diane,

I know what you
mean.  It's so sad to have lost someone so young and with so
much talent.  On a lighter note has anyone mentioned "Van
Morrison"?  This guy has so many great songs many of which
have been used in movies.  One of my favorites is "Into
the Mystic".

  Hi

One of the things I like about the daily info in the Today in Rock and Roll is that it reminds you of artists and songs that you havn't thought about for a while.

Today it reminded me of Wilson Pickett who belongs here.  His songs were dancing songs!!!!

Wilson Pickett

www.vh1.com/shared/media/images/sn_legacy/addict/AMG_images/artists/P02578.JPG" />

Of the major '60s soul stars, Wilson Pickett was one of the roughest and sweatiest, working up some of the decade's hottest dancefloor grooves on hits like "In the Midnight Hour," "Land of 1000 Dances," "Mustang Sally...

Wilson Pickett (March 18, 1941 – January 19, 2006) was an American R&B/Rock and Roll and soul singer and songwriter known for his raw, raspy, passionate vocal delivery. A major figure in the development of American soul music, Pickett recorded over 50 songs which made the US R&B charts, and frequently crossed over to the pop charts as well. Among his best known hits are "In The Midnight Hour" (which he co-wrote), "Land of 1,000 Dances", "Mustang Sally", and "Funky Broadway". The impact of Pickett's songwriting and recording led to his 1991 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Hi Diane,

You are so much like me it's unreal.  I have to find my picture of my cubicle on Valentine's Day.  I made red and pink hearts and then used white doily paper and put pics of Jon Bon Jovi in the middle.  He was all over my cubicle.  I'll post it when I find it. 

Great minds think alike.  LOL

Oh ya, how could I forget that.  That was a good one : )

You should do a photoshop Christmas card of you, your husband and add those guys(Bon Jovi) as part of your family.  It would be so cool!

I once decorated the outside of my cube with an Ozzie Osbourne Christmas tree.  I cut out tons of picures of them all and pasted on little red santa hats with cotton balls on the ends and hung them as ornaments.  I still have pictures of that .. I will try to find them  : )

Hi all

I have to add a more
current member to this group of honored male artists; the
legendary Kurt
Cobain          

of Nirvana. 
Another band that broke new ground but went back to the roots of
blues for some of their great songs.    Anyone who
has heard his unplugged version of "Where Did You Sleep Last
Night"  (Leadbelly) cannot deny his place in this
group.  He sat there on that stage in jeans and that famous
sweater and poured out this song.

  My daughter teaches pre-school at a Christian school.  She has toddlers.  Every year, at the end of the year, she puts individual pictures and little videos of each child, taken throughout the school year, on DVD for the parents.  So there, on DVD for them to keep for life, are pictures of their little one, as he or she grew through the year.  It is enough to bring tears to your eyes just as it is, but Megan adds music.  Last year, the music she added was "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas.  When that song is the background to those marvelous tiny moments of each child's life, it stays forever with you as something infinitey sweet.  I wish you could all see how marvelously they go together.  Those tiny faces and that lovely song.  Very special.  Not a single parent got those that didn't send amazing thank you notes.  It was a big hit.  This year, she usesd Louis Armstrong, "It's a Wonderful World."  Another big hit!

That's really great.  My girlfriend's daughter had down's syndrome and drowned in a swimming pool at the age of 5.  She made a DVD of her and added the song "I Will Always Think About You" by The New Colony Six.  Do you remember that one?

Ya, the bed.  OK  well.......

but I gotta give it to them for never being afraid or backing down from their commitment to what they believed in.

Do you remember the interview, I think with Dick Cavett where he actually addresses the fact that the press had called Yoko ugly... and you could just see how he couldn't believe how rude the press could be.

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.

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.
