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.

When I was in high school  Bobby Vinton was my favorite. Now as the years have passed I must add some country males to the list.  Alan Jackson is on top of my list. Love listening to Vince Gill, Randy Travis, George Jones, Keith Whitley, and Waylon Jennings to name a few others. Like you all said just too many good male singers.

Lou Reed and David Bowie. But the best on any level was Freddie Mercury.
