Orbison......what a classic BEAUTIFUL voice.
Same with the Everly Brothers. Just pure talent in my view. I saw the Everly Brothers reunion concert when they were at the Riverside back in the late 1980's. They STILL had that beautiful harmony. I could have listened to them for hours.

How in god's name have we gone three pages without mentioning the king of rock and roll, Elvis? He has by far the coolest voice ever.

Elvis, in his prime, was awesome.
The "Righteous Brothers" were pretty darn good too.

Whoa. Did we really get this far without mentioning the great late Freddie Mercury? My favorite singers are in this order - Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio, Freddie Mercury.

Props too to Wade for mentioning Orbison. I'll never forget the scene in David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" when the bad guys lip synch that song. Freaky scene.

Rock's shout got me thinking of the original House of Rising Sun...

That guy was what, in his mid teens? With a LOW voice like that. I heard the Animals tore up quite a few hotel rooms.

One reason I like R&B is that it lends itself to voices that "aint what they used to be" but still have plenty of soul.

Here's Burdon doing a bit of John Lee Hooker, 45 years after the previous video. He's not John Lee, but he's still got soul at, well, at whatever age he is.

Aside to Cheesey: Never stop singing, Alan. Fuck the "Idol" people. Y'all got soul, and that's what's important.

I know envy's a sin and all that, but if there is one "category" of people I envy more than any other its the artists and the musicians.

OMG....another one.

I just found this one, looking for a bit of late John Lee... I never heard it before (not being a big MTV watcher "even when it was good" as one of the comments to the video puts it). But all I can say is ... Wow.

How good is it? When Carlos Santana, who I consider one of the greatest guitarists to ever plug into an amp, is perfect as understated backing guitar, you know the guy in the chair has "it".

Wow.

Wade......I'm humbled by your words. And i KNOW what you are saying is true. 2 years ago when i tried out for "Ozaukee Idol" and took 4th place, i didn't even think i could sing. I honestly thought anyone that said i have a good voice was just being nice. Not wanting to hurt my feelings. Then last year (2009) I won the whole darn thing. It changed my view of my own voice, and gave me some much needed confidence. So then, losing "Franklin Idol" this month didn't devastate me, like it would have had this happened 2 years ago. I now know i'm good enough to compete, even if i don't win anything.
And hearing from you, and my other "family" here has helped me alot with that.
Words of encouragement really helps.
I have always loved to sing. That comes from my Mom, who had a BEAUTIFUL voice. She was singing all the time.

    dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
    beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
    Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
    Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
    beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
    beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
    dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
    dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
    wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
    dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

    Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down
    Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
    dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
    beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
    beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
    beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
    Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
    beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
    beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
    wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
    wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
    wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
    Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
    Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

    Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet
    beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury
    beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State
