Gosh, there are so many not-so-well-known singers (at least to the general public---present company in some cases excluded ;-) I love. Lou Ann Barton, Kasey Chambers, Julie Miller, Iris Dement, Patty Loveless, Darlene Love, Arlene Smith (lead singer of The Chantels. Listen to their recording of "Maybe"), Dan Hicks, Don Everly, Johnny Burnette, Mose Allison, Big Joe Turner, Louis Jordan, dozens of others.
The "other" singers you enjoy.........?
Most on this forum can name the well known great male and female (pop/Jazz) singers.....usually meaning the gift of a great voice with intelligent use of great song writers. But what about those "other" singers of both genders that you enjoy that are not the "usual suspects"?
Roseanne Cash, Valerie Carter, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Dinah Washington, .,...gosh, even Del Shannon (Tom Petty and several other's favorite) ....Mel Torme, Chet Baker....etc.
.....and one that many consider a great voice, but still often left out, Roy Orbison.
And your "other" singers? And,....as one of the most mentioned would say...."thank you, thank you very much".
