Sample of each please? Doesn't have to be your favorite of each (quite a list) but a good one.Show some respect to Aretha people.
And a man I heard in person at some ISU commencements, Simon Estes.
And a woman there just for an amazing range, Christina Aguilera.
And a unique sound, Janis Joplin.
Some of my other faves already mentioned: James Taylor, Bing Crosby, Diana Ross, Stevie Nicks, and if I am trying to karaoke, Whitney Houston.
And gee, how could I forget the woman who can sing anything, Kelly Clarkson.
And for the old school gang, I'll take Andy Williams above just about anyone else you throw down. So smooth and never a bum note.
Brad Delp, lead for Boston. I could never believe how high those guys could sing. Plus, just a great voice.
Willie does have a great voice.I'll go with Karen Carpenter, Willie Nelson, Debbie Harry, and Annie Lennox. There are lots more, but I could listen to those for a long time.
Mickey Thomas, hands down. Top this.
