Who was truly one of the great ‘real singer’ singers of all time.

Judy was great singing live, too. As was Hatfield.

But, Bobby was still one of the greatest ‘real singers’ of all time. RS is just wrong.


Righteous Brothers “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling’” is the number 1 radio song of all time.

Bobby’s “Unchained Melody” is considered one of the greatest performances in music.




I was airing my beef with Rolling Stone, too. Didn’t mean for it to offend you.

and Elton John at #100 and Bob Marley at #98? Smokey, Curtis Mayfield, Bonnie Raitt, Prince, Freddie Mercury all too low. And where the hell is Neil Diamond? One thing for sure, they didn't ask me.
