I recently offered up Free Born Man Of The Travelling People by his good self and the Clancy siblings on the Song Game Thread MM.

They soundtracked my younger days when a family visit was going on, drink had been taken and a yearning for the 'auld sod' kicked in.

Bob Dylan paid attention, did he not?

Females:

Patrice Rushen: A very talented songstress who was also a jazz pianist

Minnie Riperton: Can anyone else reach those high notes?

Alicia Keys : Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice


Males:


Frank Sinatra: I can understand every word he sings. Not an easy trick to pull off for any singer.

Frankie Beverley (lead singer of Maze): Great singer. He could sing a shopping list and make it sound soulful

Maurice White and Phillip Bailey( Earth Wind and fire.) Perfect harmonies and they complemented each other beautifully


A special mention for James Taylor as well. His voice always brings a tear to my eye or a smile to my face, depending on what he's singing

I've never seen the Pixies or Frank, always wrong place & wrong time. I had the same prob with Sigur Ros, until last yr.

I can picture the scene HB. Yes I read makems obituary and apparently bob dylan was a fan. I posted a you tube link to makem and clanceys the Dutchman once. Always worth a listen.
