MUSIC TO HELP US THROUGH LOCKDOWN

 

I promised a top 10 of male singers - just my own preferences - and invite you to list yours.

You may also pop back to https://www.salutlive.com/2020/04/your-favourite-10-singers-1-female-sandy-denny-and-billie-holliday-head-my-list.html and offer your top 10 female vocalists.

My list, either gender, would doubtless change if composed tomorrow or any other day.

Musical tastes are like that. Here and now, late afternoon on Easter Monday, the male singers I rate most highly are:

 

1 Ray Charles

2 Christy Moore

3 Bob Dylan

4 John Mayall

5 Roy Orbison

6 Luke Kelly

7 Nic Jones

8 Richard Thompson

9 Sonny Terry

10 Paul Brady

* PS, I have seen only six of them live. No prize unless I think of one. But guess which ...

I agree with lots of Biils choices. And Neil Young, Bon Iver, Freddie Mercury, Frank Sinatra, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Bocelli

Dave Ashmore

Elton Hayes

Colin Randall

Of Bill's list, I do like Ray Davies, McGuinn, a little Bowie, Alan Price (boyhood Sunderland supporter: I once sat in his front room and interviewed him over a takeaway Chinese meal, and during a Mags game on TV, for a SAFC fanzine) and selectively MacGowan, maybe even Roger "Brexit innit" Daltry. Never heard of Elton Hayes., Dave. Like your choices, Christelle. But I wouldn't change mine so far.
