[Evans Electric]

Owing to the outstanding success of my last thread " Guess my favourite female singer" I thought I'd launch " Guess my Favourite Male Singer" at the risk of boring everyone rigid.

So here goes.

I have many favourite singers,as in... Elvis, Sinatra, Ella Fitgerald, Louis Armstrong and the all Stars , the Chris Barber Band, Chuck Berry, Judith Durham, Bob Dylan, CCR , ...Yeah I know ,all the old 'uns...but I think my favourite is.....................

Clues :-

Not British.

No longer with us .

Not Rock n Roll .

Not Jazz.

Not Pop, charty stuff.

Certainly not C.. rapping.

Tell me to sod off if you've had enough of this.

[ian3012]

hmmm.... few clues again deke..... headbang

... you like a pure clear voice in a woman.....and bob dylan et al ???? :C

so he's dead and foreign... and i reckon he has to be a soul singer.

( exbdc probably already has it)

if you were younger.... luther vandross would be the first port of call....

but seeing as you aren't.... sam cooke is my first guess.

You're a bit of a Sherlock Holmes Ian, Dylan is a carp singer but the words of some of his songs are excellent. A latter day Woody Guthrie. (Am also a fan)

Not really into soul TBH.

I like Sam Cooke, he was a good singer but not him ,and not his style.

This singer is so well known in his field that most clues would give it away immediately . Very difficult.

I have seen him in concert 3 times , one of the early, but not so well known, pioneers of R&R used to tour with him .

 

[Evans Electric]

nationality?Kenny Rodgers?

Not him Patch, Nationality American.

 

[philbas]

I'm going for a WILD guess John Denver

 

[Evans Electric]

Ah . I,m a fan of his too but no not him . Take me home , country roads eh!

 

[ian3012]

you're a cruel man deke.... i used to live in great barr, so i know what you're like... lol

not soul eh.... ok that means he's a crooner.

frank sinatra, dean martin....

 

[SPECIAL LOCATION]

Nat King Cole?

Harry Belafonte?

Ray Charles?

:|

 

[Evans Electric]

Fan of them both , but no, wrong genre so......we are not talking............

Crooners

Jazz

R&R

Soul

crapping

R&B

Charty, bubblegum pop.

Boy Bands, girl bands ,skiffle , blues,.... erm... John Denver points you in the right direction , Bono said ,apparently, that compered to ???? we all sound like wimps.

Where in Great Barr did you live Ian, you're no a Taff then ?

 

[Evans Electric]

Nat King Cole?Harry Belafonte?

Ray Charles?

:|

No sorry Specs, I like Nat King Cole and Ray Charles , dislike Belafonte since I read that at a show biz do and Rolf Harris entertaining , he turned his back on him throughout his set because he was white ,apparently. :_|
