Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?

Fun thread! Lots of artists I love to lampoon. There's my whiny falsetto Neil Young. My grunty Joe Cocker. My still lower-pitched grunty Tom Waits.

Under no circumstances should Roy Orbison be included on this list.One of the best singers ever.  How about Tiny Tim.

Valarie June.  Just heard her playing over the restraints sound system,. had to go home and crank her up.

If you like Bob Dylan then Tony Bird needs to be on this list. I've mentioned him several times over the years on these posts. Nobody ever commented on him. It;s a shame. He was a GREAT stage act. He was a white guy from Africa who moved to NYC. Paul Simon consulted him when he was working on the Graceland LP. Bob Dylan visited one of his shows. Harry Belafonte included a Tony Bird song in his repertoire. Check him out people! Joe
