from MODERN MUSICOLOGY · host modernmusicology

What Makes a Great Singer? That's the question that we explore this week! This episode is a recording from a live we did on our Facebook Page and YouTube Channel on Sunday, July 2, 2023. We talk about what we listen for in a great singer, what part charisma and performance play in it, how genre matters, etc. And we talk about some of the iconic voices in pop music -- from country and metal to soul and rock -- like Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt, Ronnie James Dio, Prince, Little Richard, Elton John, Bruce Dickinson, Grace Slick, and a lot more. What rock / pop singer do you consider to be the best? Did we not name one of your faves? Let us know! Drop us a line at [email protected] or leave a comment wherever you find our episode!
