Let's start an argument. Who is the greatest singer in the history of music?
Meet Morgan James.
@CoastRiderBill She is soooooo amazing!
Ray Charles. He could and did sing jazz, country, rock, r&b, and sell all of them, and l don't me record sales. Hell, even his McDonalds commercials were good. The only other singers l ever heard who could sing just about any genre really well and did were Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt.
Mike Patton male. Bjork Gudmunsdottir female. My 2c.
Freddie Mercury. I would also put in votes for Paul Rodgers of Bad Company and of course Aretha Franklin.
Freddie runs a close second for me. Below Mike Patton, above Chris Cornell.
I can think of some other names, Wendy, but I happen to agree with you. Jay Black also comes to mind of Jay and the Americans.
I believe that Marian Anderson was the greatest singer that this country ever produced.
