The link takes you to Rolling Stone's idea of the greatest singers of all
time, as determined by a panel of 179 (!) so-called experts. I realize
this list is just someone's (179 someones actually) idea of vocal supremacy.
And I realize Rolling Stone is devoted primarily to Rock, to the exclusion
of most other musical genres. I would like to suggest, however, that you
cannot have a list of the 100 best singers and exclude the following:
Ella Fitzgerald
Sarah Vaughn
Joe Williams
Joe Turner
Billie Holiday
Mel Torme
Johnny Hartmann
Nat Cole
Billy Eckstein
Dolly Parton
Pavarotti
Leontyne Price
Marilyn Horne
Charles Brown
The Boswell Sisters
Peggy Lee
Frank Sinatra
Dean Martin
There are sooooooo many more I could mention, who are just lights-out
wonderful ...
Perhaps RS should have done a 1000 best singers list and included all
musical genres. That would have required more thought, however ...
