Who is the greatest singer of all time?

[BensGrandad]

Only 1 possible winner Placido Domingo.

 

[brakespear]

The greatest ever female vocalist for me Lush.

Well, we agree on something 'Goodbye To Love' is a belting track too

David Bowie's costume designer during his Ziggy years. Klaus Nomi had the most astonishing voice range. Died of aids. Much loved and missed. Has to be one of the outstanding male voices ever

This..........but one of the greatest voices of all time has to be Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops

Sam Cooke.....

Despite being a reggae man....Marvin Gaye

Can't decide between these three.

 

[Lethargic]

Nat King Cole.

 

[Frutos]

Karen Carpenter. The most beautiful voice I've ever heard.

[Psychobilly freakout]

The last person you hear before you die.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

lara fabien

 

[16bha]

also Neil Hannon.

Good call.

Also Pavarotti. Not an Opera buff, but got tickets to see him at the Stade Velodrome in 2002. Bloody amazing.

Defo Karen Carpenter for female

 

[tonymgc]

Morrissey. End of thread !

Seconded

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Seconded

oh he wont like that two people like him, he is becoming mainstream

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Seconded

Morrissey ? Ok, The Smiths were great but Morrissey sings as though he has a daffodil up his arse.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I absolutely love her voice.

Tragic she died at 32. She had the voice of an angel. No female vocalist comes even close.

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Morrissey ? Ok, The Smiths were great but Morrissey sings as though he has a gladioli up his arse.

corrected for you!

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Eva Cassidy and Marvin Gaye

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Scott Walker

Depends on whether we are talking male / female...Freddie Mercury to me was the greatest ROCK singer......Elvis for Gospel,Johnny Cash country,Crooner, Dean Martin/Sinatra...but I was lucky to see the guy who was always sick before going on stage...the above mentioned ....Scott Walker....especially the "Lights of Cincinnatti"....Classic!

 

[unklbrian]

in a three way draw between Levi Stubbs , Sam Cooke & Marvin Gaye - Marvin wins by a whisker , just because I hed the pleasure of seeing him perform in his prime

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

my music collection consists of pretty much 100 % rock but i agree with the people who have said Karen Carpenter.wondeful voice.

 

[chucky1973]

Nora Jones.....perfect love making music


And the legend Frank

 

[ezmally]

Eddie Vedder.
