TOP 10 - THE BEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME 

Beatles as No. 1? No way, not even in the top three. Top three are 1. Elvis Presley, 2. Michael Jackson and 3. Aretha Franklin.

Top 3 are Shirley Bassey Tom Jones then Whitney Houston don't get to me wrong folks i too believe Whitney was the best to until i encountered Miss Gold finger herself affectionate known as Diamonds are forever 🎉🎉❤Miss Shirley Bassey🎉🎉❤

We do like quality music. However, it's too bad you have absolutely no idea what that is. To put the Beatles over Whitney Houston, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, and Steve Perry is just foolish and repugnant. You'll never get a like, share, or subscribe from me. This list was an insult. You got popularity completely mixed up with talent and skill. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

Michael as no 1 sure

I think freddie mercury has to be no'one aside with elvis and then michael Jackson

You can't, my list has about ten singers all female, at #1 together, and I just list my particular favorite first.

this ones were the best and sold the most records that is why.

@@williammartinez840 he should have called it my favourite top ten

Thats youtube, this guy is looking for views not truth!!! Famous singers dont mean their the best!!

What about Elton John?

"FACTS, he one of my favorites. He's one of the ALL TIME GREATS one of the Kings of Rock and Roll. Little Richard is the real Kimg of Rock and Roll. Love 💖💖 the opinions. They are all fire and sweet. "

Not quite. Nonetheless, that'd be interesting to hear him sing the yellow pages.

Me too ! I’m 70 now

Fr

Choosing just 10 greats from any field is almost impossible. I would agree with your list except for Tina Turner. Just a personal preference. She was good, I wouldn’t put her in a list of greats.

Whitney frank senatra marvin gaye

Tina Turner should absolutely be on this list. Also Barbara Streisand

I agree that Roy Orbison should have been an honourable mention.

Why doesn’t anyone mention Bobby Hatfield ? Widest range of all time. Could sing the pants off all on the list and in the comments.

Did you read this before you sent it? It makes no sense.😊

​@@ChristineBono-gh1guThank you for your comment but my english is bad knewing but all fans did understand me what i wrote about 😢👌✌️❤️💯🇦🇹

ELVIS ❤@#3? YOU GOT TO BE BULLSHIT😢FOH IDIOTS😢!

Beyonce 32 grammys Alison Krauss 27 grammys. Whitney Houston 6 grammys. Even a man Gabriel Henrique sings better than Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

​@@ClementSmith-yn1ld😂😂😂 he could never touch Whitney's vocal power, Whitney live would destroy him

Angelina has 16.5 years of experence singing and she is only 18 years old.@@user-eq9mf4zt3z

That's a lie

She was the most awarded FEMALE artist Guinness world record book… Even so Bey just surpassed her… MJ is the most awarded music act of all time… Followed by Beyoncé and then Whitney

Certainly my favorites. Michael Jackson Elvis Presley Whitney Houston

How could they leave out Marley. imagine ]

Madonna is not a great singer. I agree with most of the others.

​@@mosesbanda3321Dem nuh like Rasta. Time magazine rank his Album Exodus album of the Century.❤️💚💛 one love

​@324cmac no, no, she's not..🐕😁👍🕶

Donna Summer was such a great singer !

That's your opinion and of course you're entitled to your view but I believe no one sings America the beautiful better than Elvis. Although I bet there are loads of people who would disagree with me and that's ok it comes down to personal opinion.

@@user-dr2yc1de9e agree to disagree

I bet the greatest jazz singer of all time Angelina Jordan could do a better job.@@user-dr2yc1de9e

I bet the greatest jazz singer of all time Angelina Jordan could do a better job.

Agreed 🤝 ❤

Elvis was the most handsome in the world maybe and he was singing the most exciting music genre,"Rock a Billy, and his voice was pretty good, so he couldn't fail. But there have been better voices but not in such a complete package, and Elvis did say Little Richard was the King.

A Genius, also as a Producer.🤗 He revolutionized the way Music is presented on Video, looking like a Movie & telling an actual Story. He could also arrange, memorize & present a complete song including the instruments just with his mouth(i forgot the official name for this technique...sorry). His deserves to be a Music-Legend.

@@naturestone3148 mouth in drums or beatboxing

There is one king it's Elvis

The best records sellers of all time : Beatles and Elvis .The kings of Music as we like it .

​@hocinimahmoud6682 Elvis is the king of cover songs, out of 600 songs recorded , he wrote not one song, marginal guitar player.... and washed up by 38 ...

Perfectly stated. My sentiments exactly. Thank you! Karen is in a building all by herself.

I forgot to put her on my list, gotta add her. Now THAT was the voice of an angel and also the great Eva Cassidy.

Karen Carpenter should; and will not, ever be forgotten! Even though she isn't on this list, she is still on my list.

Karen Carpenter. If only she’d known how great she was 😢.

She was also a phantastic Drummer.💪☝️🤗😍🔥🔥🔥

Agree!! 💯

LOVED ALL OF THESE BEAUTIFUL, PEOPLE!!!!

​@@teresafanna3956Michael had black features and destroyed them in an attempt to look caucasian.He had about 100 surgeries , cheek and chin implants, many nose surgeries, eyes reshaped etc.He ended up looking like a freak.He was anything but beautiful.

I've never realized Michael Jackson has had hit songs in the 1960's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's, 10's!

Elvis does not belong on this list. He stole his whole singing style from a man named Roy Hamilton. All Elvis ever did was steal.

@@angelarobinson5886 And you are full of envy and hate. BB King and many, many others say much differently.

@nicrexgo5253 Say what you want...there are many videos saying exactly what I said...just look up Roy Hamilton. Elvis went to see Roy many times so he could perfect his style. I used to be an Elvis fan once upon a time. Truth of the matter is Elvis did not have the fan base that Michael Jackson OR the Beatles. It is what it is.

@@angelarobinson5886 Elvis did not have the fan base that The Beatles and MJ did? Are you kidding me? Elvis was the most famous man on the planet, have you seen the videos from around his death and funeral? People in England gathered in churches and cried, and he never even performed in Europe. He still knocks out both Beatles and MJ monthly listeners on Spotify. Elvis grew up dirt pore and lived in a black neighbourhood for a part of his childhood. He joined a black gospel choir as a teenager. He was influenced by many artists, Roy Hamilton was one of his favourite artists and he emulated some of his vocals and delivery. He always made it clear how much of an influence Hamilton had on him. Neither Hamilton or his family has ever accused Elvis of stealing. Elvis and Roy met and became good friends. Elvis gave the song "Angelica" to Roy and he also helped to pay for his funeral. There is an interview with Hamilton's son on RU-vid where he states this. He says Elvis loved his father like a brother. B.B.King knew Elvis from before he became famous. He was big admirer of Elvis and defended him his whole life. He said Elvis had integrity, he just sang the music he loved.

@@angelarobinson5886 Look up the channel Dad Is Not a Noun Podcast: Where Elvis got his voice: Conversation with Roy Hamilton Jr., son of Roy Hamilton. Many black artists back then credited Elvis for braking down the barriers of segregation and making black music mainstream. Little Richard said "Elvis was a blessing, an integrator. They wouldn't let black music trough. Elvis opened the door for black music"

That also never happened.

@lynwhittaker Yes i remember also hearing about that statement on the radio from a music journalist who was also a radio music paper publisher and later also worked for Virgin records. BTW it was also refered that Elvis wasn't excactly very fond of The Beatles for some reason.

Elvis was a great fan of Roy Hamilton.

​@@christianoazzuro6711 Roy had a "one trick pony" voice. Elvis's chameleon voice was far more diverse

@@bradhuskers You surely got a point on this.Btw Elvis was my father's Gen and liked him while my uncle prefered and loved Roy.

Chuck Berry, Little Richard did it 1st! Elvis enhanced it!

Elvis..the greatest singer in the world??? You got to be loonytune. The greatest singer ever was Sam Cooke, Elvis would have told you that.

They are a lot of great singers. Be hard to pick really when you think about it.

But Elvis was King of rock ‘n’ roll

Most of these great singers including Marvin all agreed that Sam was the GOAT. This includes Rod Stewart and a host of others. @@billcarr5306

You mean Nancy Wilson, Ann Wilson's sister, from Heart? Both great singers, composers, and Nancy a great guitar player, too.

This wasent about number 1. It was ten best. someone in comments decided to make it a contest

100%

Better check that list one more time 😂

He stoke all the black singers everything.

@@sonjaanderson6933 stoke🤣

@@sonjaanderson6933 You better do some real research stop listening to racist black arseholes. Elvis stole nothing from the black community you tool, Elvis was brought up on the wrong side of the tracks in a place called Tupelo Mississippi In a black community. He went to black gospel tents and had loads of black friends that's something you do not have.

King ?????

Michael Jackson The Best so Far.For I don't like Elvis so much.S I Won't call him myKing,MJMy King.

Elvis Presley - The Master Of The Universe! ❤

Only the White men love Elvis music

I don't know nothing about neither his music or himself I'm gonna be respectful and leave it there But ain't no way he's anywhere near Whitney THE VOICE Houston, Bob Marley, Luther Vandross , Earth Wind & Fire and Michael Jackson at all

​@mamadoualioud iallo619 No. You're just a low IQ racist

​@@Swahili14 You're a low IQ racist. Period

Elvis is #1

No he didn't. He may have been pretty good at singing, it was no where near great.

@@Blueknight1960We'll give you a pass for being deaf.

@@billywall7752 Actually I have great hearing, Marvin Gaye just wasn't the best of singers.

Concordo 👍

The Beatles being one of them..

But it's not about these TOP10

​@@Ann-st8etThank you for being brave enough to point that out. It's consider blasphemous from a popular music perspective. They could not create live what was recorded in Abbey Roads. Queen was both. Great live and talented in the studios and diverse in musical genres and that lead vocals.

​@@Ann-st8etReally...?

In the 50's my mother listened to Jim Reves Patsy Cline, Hank Williams Sr. & Ray Charles she had pretty great taste I would say. Got me listening a lot to Ray and gave me an appreciation for R&B Fats, Stevie, Smokey and just loved Sam Cook. later Otis and Marvin and Jackie Wilson.

@@alexwaller2237 Some of the greatest singers of all time are those from the 40's50's 60's 70's 80's and 90's but I love the 40,' 50's 60's 70's and 80's era a lot.

perfect voice

I see that you do a lot of research and I really like that from an audience. I honestly didn't know about Sister Rosetta Tharpe, but doing a little research I noticed that you are right in your comment. I will do a little more research in my next videos so that great people like her are not left out of even honorable mentions. Thank you very much for your comment and I hope you liked the video.

Ive never heard of her. Im 63 yrs old. I will have do look up her work..

She is finally getting recognition and has become known as the godmother of rock and roll Chuck Berry among others credits her as an influence in the late forties she had the Jordanaires singing back up for her onstage a black woman with white male backup singers back then WOW!!! She deserves a biopic it was also an open secret that she was bi-sexual

@HistoricsTOPSENG you can see some of her performances on RU-vid Chuck Berry copied her guitar style

Among her many achievements is being the female rock and roll guitarist she paved the way for among others Heart and the Pretenders Bonnie Raitt

Absolutely agree

And Frankie Valli; almost 90 and still touring, sold out shows.

Bee Gees had #1 /hits across 6 DECADES !

What about legendary George Michael He could sing many different genres what a icon

​@ma rycooper8385 George had a "one trick monkey" voice. Elvis's chameleon voice changed multiple times in his very short life. Elvis's diversity destroys him

And mine is Mickael HUTCHENCE from INXS in thé top XIVe of the best frontman, singer, songwriter. À boive from an angel . Beauty, talent, charisme and sensuality. A genuine masterpièce

Hi , we have somewhat the same thoughts, you may like to check Lucy Thomas and Tori Holub. Take care. ❤.

Lara Fabian is the whole package ❤

Whose hand?

A lot of them could do that

no they couldnt. Compare all Elvis covered Genres to MJ and Freddie at it will show perfectly@@daylehudson6810

@@daylehudson6810Elvis could do it best

No body do like Elvis Presley @@daylehudson6810

​@daylehudson6810 No. A lot of them COULDN'T do that. Whitney had a "one trick pony" voice. Freddie had a "one trick pony" voice. In fact, most of them had one trick pony voices. Elvis's chameleon voice changed multiple times in his very short life. He was DIVERSE

What high notes did he hit ?

​@craigmabry1392 Are you stupid? The 1950's elvis sang in a high key 1956, jailhouse rock is entirely high key. Are you a fool?

​@@craigmabry1392 Low IQ boy

@@craigmabry1392 C5 in chest voice! You obviously have listened to too many TBA’ who don’t do his voice justice! His low notes sound just as great as his mids and highs. He has a very good range going from low to high, but the resonance and the pure emotion he put into his singing was so natural. He didn’t sing for the sake of singing he interpreted with passion, he could be velvety smooth, powerful and gritty. He could sound like angelic one minute then powerful like thunder the next. You can’t really put him in any category he s in one all on his own. That’s why people say there’s Elvis then there’s everyone else.

@@AJ-jc1ye blah blah blah ...overhyped and mediocre

Dolly Parton made a LOT of money 💰 by “allowing” Whitney to sing her song.

And Dolly is one helluva singer herself besides being so beautiful in every respect.

Whitney Houston also was very respectful to the great vocalists that came before her. As Whitney's successful recording of "I'm Every Woman" and "The Greatest Love of All " will attest.

mhm .. do you know the thing about I WILL ALYWAS LOVE YOU - and Dolly? .. and Elvis? ♥ if the manager of Elvis wouldn´t put down Elvis Presleys desire to record Dollys I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU - we would have Elvis singing I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU today --- Elvis called Doll in 1974 to let him record the song! Dolly was bombed away excitied! The Colonel wanted the 50% rights of Dolly - she heart-cryingly said sorry - I can´t sell my babies ... STILL DOLLY PARTON IS CRYING AND DEEPLY SAD about that ... listen to Dollys new release I DREAMED ABOUT ELVIS ... I love Dolly Parton - Elvis Presley - Dean Martin - Tom Jones ♥

I recently read that Dolly heard her song on the radio and didn't know her music company let Whitney record it. However, she was gobsmacked at the rendition. Like all of us were! Whitney was so talented and blessed with the most beautiful face, it is incredible that she had such a gorgeous receptacle to glorify her delivery, she was truly an Angel on earth.

Yes ! Judith Durum should be on this list. Unique vocal talent

Yes 🙌🏽 👍🏿🙌🏽💯

Also the queen of soul should be placed higher.

​@@user-ql9ey6yb8v even the Queen if soul could never touch Whitney live

Wrong

Leonard Cohen and k.d. lang -- they should be on the list too.

And Sam Cooke

Linda Ronstadt, Barbra Streisand, Ann Wilson, Pat Benatar, Celine Dion....... just to name a few more great singers.

Celine Dion deserves a mention'

Agreed, I was watching her concerts on Utube, Japan, and France were my favorite concerts' show must go on'

What happened to honorable mention for Prince, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Fats Domino, Jackie Wilson, Brooke Benton , BB King, Wilson Picket, Lou Rawls, just to name a few that have passed on & gave their talents that some could follow In their footsteps! Otherwise I like this information! 💞

Angelina Jordan is an angel!!!

"FACTS!! Say that!!!! I go with Michael Jackson though. It's all about OPINION with the arts and sports. All opinions don't have to be FACTUAL, we all have different divine tastes and preferences. "

Totally agree!

Had to be the Beatles!

Michael Jackson is seen as the greatest of all time & face of entertainment. So it has to be him. Most awarded, most popular, most influential

Elvis is the greatest!

He is legend. RIP Bob

😂😂😂😂😂😂

"That's REAL for you. I can dig it. He definitely one of the number #1s. I love 💖💖 Elvis. "

Oh definitely, Earth Wind and Fire!

Bullshit Elvis is number one!!

❤

EXACTLY!!!!!!!😡😡😡😭😭😭

I don't think so

I totally agree 💯

This is an opinion list, as all lists are. People have different opinions. Therefore, their list will be different from yours and mine.

He is the best of the best, he has everything, a powefull voice, increible good looking, carisma and many golden records, he was the best, nobody can even stay near of him.

By

Exactly

Michael Joseph Jackson

I went through a stage from Elvis's death to about I saw Little Richard on the South Bank Show. Myself, Little Richard and Elvis agree that Little Richard was king but Elvis had all the breaks, being white was hard to get around. I love a number of Elvis songs too but as great as he was, there have been better singers but the others all had different things missing

You got that right!

No one is close.

She was very very good, but I can’t say goat.

"Trill. I love 💖💖 that, RESOECT Never heard her, but from how I hear people talk about her, she obviously legendary, one of the ALL TIME GOATS. "

MJ is bigger than him and The Beatles combined

@@user-hx9po6ft5j January 2024: The Beatles 32.4, Michael Jackson 38.3, Elvis Presley 41.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify. 46 years after his death.

Michael McDonald another great singer/songwriter.

I've never heard Robin Gibb as the best of anything. In a high key, he sounds more like Donald Duck.

Micheal Jackson No. 1 ) Thriller, Bad. Beat it, Billie Jean, Black or White, man in the mirror (number of hit's) hand's down (from a famous family singing group to solo artist) 2 categories of success Dancing.. untouched, design wear costume unique as it get's, choreography they're no word's, a commanding presence, a global audience Elvis Presley. No. 2 ( a string of hit's, cross over finding success on the big screen, world wide acclaim big influence by soul music&artist ( group's vs. Individual artist) There should be two separate categories..each should have their own adue... Bee Gee's. No.1 (5 No. 1 hit''s Billbord's at the same time) "shame on you" the Bee Gee's weren't even mentioned..they were multi-faceted beside's from themselves wrote a multitude of hit's for other artist that hit No.1, sound track's for movies a uniqueness characteristical high falsesetta sound like no other certainly right up there if not topping the Beatles let's call it a close heat... Overall popularity vs. talented have to be careful... singer ability, versatility etc. we must do our homework..statistics speaks for itself... back to singer's.... Frank Sinatra. No.3 ( Old Blue Eye's) A unique sound, voice, total command of every song he sang he owned it..command performance ability to just sing..( no dance move').other's to follow sorta imitating his style..smooth deliverance he started it.. finished...not yet Johnny Mathis for sure No.4 ( again a close heat..unique smooth deliverance using vibrato..to an untouched degree..like no other unique sound commanding control..sang many duets with female sing's 350 million record's sold worldwide more than any recording artist other than Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Look him up listen for yourself... Too much more to say..for now leave it.. just don't forget about artist like. Michael McDonald Patti-Labelle Diana Ross Barbara Streisand Dennis Williams...etc. we the consumer's know Honorable mentioned... Ok...plus. Having worked or recorded with .any of these artist over the year's..Thank's for allowing me to voice some thought...
