i don't have a great voice, but it's really fun to sing. james is in his own category, being one of the best vocalists i've ever heard but also my husband, so i can't be impartial. but here are some other singers i like, in no particular order, in case you don't know about some & might want to look him/her up:
wanda jackson, lorrie & larry collins, little richard, hank ballard, carl perkins, chuck berry, lowman pauling, johnny tanner & eugene tanner, howlin' wolf, phil alvin, etta james, big maybelle, sister rosetta tharpe, tina turner, billie holliday, james brown, big mama thornton, charlie feathers, charlie rich, roy brown, big joe turner, little walter, clifton chenier, fats domino, rose maddox, smiley lewis, louis prima & keely smith, lux interior, slim harpo, sonny boy williamson, ray price, ruth brown, & professor longhair!

hey, my singing is not the greatest, but i do it anyway. of course it's only when i'm alone (i'm a total recluse), but it's still a lot of fun to sing along with whatever is playing on the radio or cd player.
i like etta james, tina turner, billie holiday, charlie rich, and carl perkins.
i'll have to check out some of the other singers you wrote about in your post.
you have a cool blog.
thanks, zach! i checked out yours: you look like a productive young person of eclectic interests! when the internet was newer (i'm old), one of the neatest things was finding other humans that also were into the odd & unusual. looking at your faves reminded me of some more movies i really love & am gonna at to my profile. sullivan's travel: haven't thought of that one in a long while! happy days to you, jny
at = add (oops)
