Every now and then a really bad singer makes it big and becomes famous and popular. One of these "singers" is a deranged Swedish man who is on meds because he thinks he is The King - Elvis Presley.

The guy's name is Eilert Pilarm and he has appeared on TV numerous times. He has also performed live more than 600 times and was Sweden's most booked artist in 2001.

Here are some of his songs:

In The Ghetto: http://grooveshark.com/s/In+The+Ghetto/4kSE7Z?src=5
All Shook Up: http://grooveshark.com/s/All+Shook+Up/6W7tvT?src=5
Return To Sender: http://grooveshark.com/s/Return+To+Sender/btrP6?src=5
How Great Thou Art: http://grooveshark.com/s/How+Great+Thou+Art/2vHfLy?src=5

Anyone else on SS who has similar artists to share? Smiley

Geez...I thought that THIS would be about Neil Young...or Bob Dylan...or Mick Jagger...or Michael Bolton...or Mike Love....or somebody who's considered the BEST by millions yet has millions more saying not a glacier's chance in hades.

I know who the absolute W O R S T 'best' singer is.

Me.  [and unfortunately millions have heard me 'sing' too/Not really my fault either...but I apologize nonetheless]

Great front man in his prime, but have never been accused of being a good singer.

Jimmy Durante? - I once ran into that actor named Stanley who played Cheswick in "Cuckoo's Nest" at the Glendale Library, and he said he wanted some Jimmy Durante records because it made him feel like: if Jimmy could sing, so could he!

Norman Hurricane Smith? - raspy, borderline creepy voice, but it worked for his single and got him a big hit (Oh Babe!)

Andrea True? (Nah, she was never great in any sense. Musically.)

Shelly Fabares? - to me, she sounds good, but she hated recording and they had to piece "Johnny Angel" together from 17 takes. So: great.

Telly Savalas? - hmmm. I only know of that one horrific song about throwing away old birthday cards, and that's mostly spoken. Not sure I ever heard him sing.

Annette Funicello? Hayley Mills? Freddie Lennon? JASPER DAILEY???

Good call! Did you know that Larry Fischer recorded a duet with Rosemary Clooney? (Yes, a Beach Boys connection!)
