Little Richard is admittedly very cool. However. I'll make it
two
best best singers, one male and one female:
- Captain Beefheart
- Kate Bush

Recently I listened to all her albums on YT and the now defunct Grooveshark and in my opinion there wasn't a dud among them. Some are more accessible than others to a first-time listener.
Hounds of Love
is not a bad start. And her debut,
The Kick Inside
. I have a soft spot for
The Sensual World
and, especially,
The Red Shoes
. (See also the KB topic:

Ella Fitzgerald was the greatest voice in pop music and I personally feel that stands today.

Great choice. He can sing it all - all out rock and roll, soul, gospel, even country! And he'd be the first to tell you, too. "I'm not conceited, I'm convinced!"

Right. but when you wanna hear a great singer with some backbeat--the big beat that keeps you rockin' in your seat ***The BEat! THE BEAT!! THE BEAT!!!!!**-- who do you go with then ??
Ella Fitzgerald is a nice choice . I have no complaints , other than I'd like to know who's the best rock singer, then? (Well....this is BB's forum after all....so perhaps you're a Brian guy. Also , thiswould be a good choice. )
Ella.,her "Sings Gershwin" album is a very spiritual experience.
I would prefer in the future ,that all of those here who pick a Sinatra, Fitzgerald, or a Vaughn, or any other trad. pop singer who does not "rock"--that they also list their favorite rock singer as well.
I drinks a bit. I meant to say, that they also need to let us all know who their best best rock and roll singer is.
I likes to rock

Freddie is all 'that'...but...Nat King Cole and Brook Benton were both more than all 'that'. [Especially Brook in his heyday] 3rd ain't bad.
Ella was and remains definitive. Annie Lennox is pretty freakin' amazing though. And so is KD Lang.
There you have it. 3 men. 3 women...and everyone else is breathing their dust.

It took me a long time to figure out (and I still forget sometimes) that luckily it's not a competition

Let's hear it, friends for the beautiful Little Richard, the true King of Rock n' Roll!
And this is coming from a big Elvis fan. I would describe him more as the King of Singers, or one of them.

Well, Elvis was a Richard fan, too. And the admiration was mutual.

Listening now .
only on laptop speakers.
It's not that I'm enjoying myself...but she's good enough that she cuts through
She sings. I now understand. . . Still though, let's have another quote of that fabulous picture of Richard
