View Full Version : Best deceased singer. PaulTansley 27-07-2003, 08:08 We all have our favourite singers, but who do you think was a good singer, i mean someone who could actually sing even if you don't listen to there music. They must be Dead of course. Mine is Karan Carpenter. Who is yours.:cry: Phanerothyme 27-07-2003, 08:14 Nina Simone (may she rest in peace - although I expect she's joined the rest of the Jazz fraternity in the other place!) and Nat King Cole PaulTansley 27-07-2003, 08:21 Nat King Cole was a top singer but Nina Simone, was she a singer from recent or yester year, I know her name but can't quite recall a face. Phanerothyme 27-07-2003, 08:29 She was the original hard living Jazz Diva - went over the edge and came back again Nina Simone (Windows Media) (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/clipserve/B00004RIMQ001001/0/002-3264629-7494455) [ rl repeatedly edited until it worked] mikey 27-07-2003, 11:03 Freddie Mercury - one great frontman My one is regret in life is that I never saw Queen play live in the flesh. The live aid performance at Wembley Stadium is the tops. Jon 27-07-2003, 11:30 Okay Phil Collins ain't dead, but when he left Genesis he might as well have been to me :( Jeff Buckley RIP John 27-07-2003, 11:33 Jimi Hendrix Freddie Mercury Jim Morrison BAZZO 27-07-2003, 18:58 You seem to have omitted the marvellous Walter Widdup from your list of great singers.Halifax-born this astounding tenor captivated the London music scene in the early days of the last century.His rendition of "Tom Bowling" has never been bettered. Ask your favourite radio DJ to include it in his requests and dedications.

She's very much alive and kicking but has such a wonderful voice I'll do a very ironic killing to get her on the list. :evil: spook 28-07-2003, 16:07 The Mercury meister RPG 28-07-2003, 16:12 it has to be: Jeff Buckley and John Lennon Phanerothyme 28-07-2003, 16:36 Originally posted by XADRIAN John Lennon Elvis Kurt Cobain The lead singer of INXS (y'know that Aussie bloke) Michael Hutchence mikey 28-07-2003, 16:38 I forgot about Phil Lynott - Thin Lizzy Could be a real supergroup jamming session as we speak in both heaven and hell, mind you it would probably be in hell with the stuff that this lot got up to. katndee 28-07-2003, 17:57 I havn't heard of most of them people you mentioned! anyway none of the people I would put are dead so I don't have 1!

Dug 29-07-2003, 08:29 Originally posted by Jon 8) then don't post owt then....anyone see the Jeff Buckley documentary on BBC2 ? No, when was it on? Dream Brother by David Browne is a good book, it's about the lives of Tim and Jeff Buckley. Phanerothyme 29-07-2003, 09:14 Originally posted by mikey I forgot about Phil Lynott - Thin Lizzy Could be a real supergroup jamming session as we speak in both heaven and hell, mind you it would probably be in hell with the stuff that this lot got up to. indeed, can't think of many top dead singers that made it past the pearly gates of judeo-christianity. Cliff Richard maybe. Oh wait he's not dead yet (although that can easily be arranged) But in hell, quite a different story. I vote Frank Zappa on lead guitar, maybe Nina Simone on backing vocals. mikey 29-07-2003, 09:22 Keith Moon on Drums Lemmy on Bass (on no he's not dead either) George Harrison or Phil Lynott then on bass Belle 29-07-2003, 13:11 Keith Whitley - very fine deep-voiced American country singer Patsy Kline - who you have probably heard of - sang "Crazy" - died in a plane crash Bob Marley - how could you have forgotten him? I have always loved reggae Marc Bolan - children of the revolution being my personal favourite katndee 29-07-2003, 13:34 Yeah I am young, you must be old! I wanted 2 let you know how old you all were, that's why I posted it! huwj 29-07-2003, 14:20 Xxxxxxxxxx Pistol Pete 29-07-2003, 20:23 Jimi Hendrix George Harrison John Bohnam upholder 29-07-2003, 20:46 Not a fan but I allways thought Elvis could sing a bit. Spam song (http://www.cundys.bizland.com/media/spam.wav) PaulTansley 29-07-2003, 22:37 Originally posted by huwj you tell em dee!! none of my favourite singers have died yet either (with the exception of lennon), but that doesn't mean i'm too young or that i don't appreciate good music!! None of todays singers can sing, so just as well there not dead.:lol: greennigel 30-07-2003, 06:06 Bon Scott.... little malc 13-03-2004, 10:38 Way before anybodies time here, but the acolade must surely go to Enrico Caruso the greatest tenor ever, and the person who made the gramophone popular. FairyNormal 13-03-2004, 10:46 Am I really boring by saying Eva Cassidy? fnkysknky 13-03-2004, 11:34 Bob Marley - the man was a genius. uncleheed 13-03-2004, 12:30 Keith Moon Drums Jimmi Hendrix Lead Guitar George Harrison Rhythm Guitar Phil Lynott Bass Freddie Mercury Vocals Enough said! saxon51 13-03-2004, 12:33 The great, the one and only NAT KING COLE fuzzy 13-03-2004, 15:30 Was gonna say there was only one for me. Freddie Mercury But then someone mentions Eva Cassidy, so them two. richard 13-03-2004, 15:41 Jeff Buckley is tip top. Well, he deserves a mention anyhow. PaulTansley 14-03-2004, 08:23 Originally posted by markham The great, the one and only NAT KING COLE That guy could sing, a real legend. His daughter can sing well to, but i did'nt like Coles early jazz music in the 1930s. |
