I’m sure that the concert was good. Can’t say I’m a fan of Aaron Neville, despite his nice, syrupy voice. Part of my reason is that Aaron has tended to sound rather predictable. He is nevertheless the most successful of the 1970s group, the Neville Brothers.

By the way, HL, the irony of this part-Black, part-American Indian R&B singer has never been lost on me -- this obviously gym-loving, weightlifting man has a voice that is the opposite of what one would expect from such a muscular person!

Who are your all-time Top 5 Favorite Black Singers?

[HL]

I'll put my list together and get back to you shortly.

The first 2 comes to mind immediately, the others requires some further thought.

Hope all is well with you.

BTW: thanks for the laugh when you use the term :syrupy voice

Looking Forward To Your List

Thanks, boss. Things are great with me.

I’m looking forward to your list. To make things easy on yourself, if you wish you can (a) do a Top 10 Favorite Black Singers instead of a Top 5 (which might be too limiting when trying to compile it), and (b) list the singers in alphabetical order rather than in order of greatness. This is just a suggestion though; please feel free to ignore it.

I’m working on my list right now, and it’s not an easy task. We have had many outstanding Black singers! In fact, people like Ronnie Dyson and Jackie Wilson immediately spring to mind.

Heh heh!

My random List:

--Marvin Gaye

--Sam Cook

--Curtis Mayfield

--Barry White

--Michael Jackson


(this is much tougher than I thought Historian)






Oh BTW: Historian I busted outlaughing in Home Depot parking lot.

Why? because you used the term syurpy to describe Aaron Neville's voice

[Mosiah]

If Luther not in di list then yuh need to go back and do your homework.

STR8888!

Interesting List

I told you it would not be easy, and that’s why I made those two helpful suggestions in my previous post.

Lol, “syrupy” is the adjective that came to my mind when I was typing my reply. But you have to admit it’s true (lol).

I’m going to start a new thread with your list later today, and I will place my list immediately below yours in that new thread. Hopefully it can start a discussion on the topic of Great Black Singers (or, to be more accurate, rekindle such a discussion, because we have had it in the past).
