Oh no, another list...
Who, in your opinion, are the top 5 greatest pop music singers of all time (regardless of gender). And give a brief explanation of why you think so.
Here are mine (as of today);
1. Frank Sinatra - His body of work spanning multiple decades is impressive, from the Big Band era up to the end of his life. That distinctive masculine voice he possessed. Reinvented his career to broaden his audience.
2. Karen Carpenter - No need to explain, we all know.
3. Judy Garland - Beautiful voice. Much like Karen she was born with all the physical attributes that made her voice special (range, timbre, tone, vibrato, emotion, etc, etc.}
4. Nat King Cole - No mistaking that voice. On all those iconic Christmas classics and his early jazz recordings are great.
5. (tie) Celine Dionne, Barbra Streisand - Celine has an absolutely beautiful voice and can do anything; duets, spiritual, classical, etc.). I'm not a big "Babs" fan, but there is no denying she is one of the best of all time. She has a multitude of loyal fans.
