Out of that whole list, I can only hack some Bee Gees songs! Tragedy...when the feeling's gone and you can't go on....*LOL*

Conway had 55 number ones, more than any other until George Strait in 2006, I think "Give it away" was the one that beat Conway or tied him.

I love the Bee Gees by the way.

LOL!! If I could sing that high it would be my theme song

instead, I have to stick with "I'm of consenting age, to be forgetting you in a cabaret downtown, somewhere where a burlesque queen might even ask my name......paying for love and a lap dance" LOL

Wow, talk about unpopular music opinions, but other than maybe, just maybe one or two Elvis, Supremes, or Elton John songs, I really dislike almost all of the artists on that list...

Not one rates with me

Elvis is the only one that rates ont hat list with me---and not everything he did either.

I gave Elvis a chance years ago....tried listening to his music, but I wasn't impressed. I was left feeling that here was a white man trying his best to be black, and that the black singers did it far better

 

[JimWagner]

I rather liked Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life album.

Don't think I've actually heard that album

Much much much much better than Elvis. Yes, she was one of the first prominent "BD Women".....

I don't know if that term is still used though this side of the pond.

Better? Ok, I give up then.

Sorry, it's just more soulful...has more feeling to it than Elvis, who sounded far "pop-ier"

 

[LizzieMaine]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- Elvis was Jolson without the cork. Except given the choice of seeing either of them on stage, in person, in their prime, I'd go with Jolie.

Don't kill me James, but that song is really good too. I guess it's more refreshing?

I have to say though (even though Lizzie is right about Jolsen) there is no denying he was something...
