Best Male Singer of All Time
Posted by: Madrid on 02 April 2003
Having debated the best female singer of all time, it seems to me we ought to consider the finest male vocalist.
"Best" may mean different things to different people: most technically proficient, most "meaningful" or otherwise.
I would rate James Brown as the most intensely natural. Placido Domingo or Alfredo Krause as most technically able. But I would have to rank Frank Sinatra as the best overall. His resonance and emotional depth in the late 1950s recordings (eg, the pathos in Sings for Only the Lonely) is, I think, second to none.
Blame my father for having let me borrow his lp´s!
