    I understand. That's just a list of guys I respect for their talent and ability. I put stars beside my very favorites.

    I don't know that I have favorite vocalists - kind of like having a favorite flavor of ice cream I guess - but any list has to include both Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt, IMHO

    Your honest opinion is fine that's what I asked for. On another note you don't have a favorite flavor of ice cream? I like ice cream but I can't go wrong with chocolate peanut butter ribbon

    To me, I have always felt that this is perhaps THE perfect Rock n Roll song. It has the great Roy Orbison vocals. A really top notch guitar riff, a great, short drum solo, and a perfect subject: Watching Pretty women.....and Daisy Duke counts here for that.

    The only problem is that they made this song the subject of a decidedly mediocre movie with a not very pretty Julia Roberts in the title role.

    But that does not take away from the song.

    I guess you have to add Patsy Cline and Lou Rawls

    For 'today's version' of Roy Orbison, you have to add Raul Malo of The Mavericks (can't wait to see Raul & the boys in June)

    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    Just some of my favorites for vocals listing my absolute favorites for each. I could name several for each, especially Joplin & Cocker:

    Janis Joplin.. Down on Me

    Joe Cocker..Delta Lady

    Larry Gatlin..Broken Lady

    Otis Redding..Dock of the Bay

    Bob Seger..Main Street

    Aretha Franklin..RESPECT.. is also right there.

    I MUST add my single all time favorite...Eric Clapton. I'm not sure he ever did a song I didn't like, whether solo or as part of a number of groups.
