it took a solid generation at least
back in the 60s, compared to today everyone who sang at all could sing great
do you dance exilarch
would you dance the calypso with me
so before a certain point in history my only complaints are usually stylistic choices, not vocal talent
show it
harry belafonte is pure brahmin
'in the 60s everyone could sing" - bob dylan
hahahahah
yeah not everyone
men especially were better singers
not everyone but compared to today
i understood the gist of what he was saying
people cannot sing for shit today
there was much more quality control
since recording was expensive
it's like 1 in 100 singers now who are even as good as the average singer a few decades ago
almost nobody in the 80s sang as bad as the singers we have now
and worse, the few people left doing clean vocals do it nigger style

for sure but even paul anka's version is worse and it came out the following year
hahahahahaha
paul anka good god
the women want to sound like some nigger mariah chick and the men want to sound like autotune dalits
i bet he was crushed on painkillers and booze trying to sing this one
Some mediocre singers of the era were great
do you get the feeling he was more manufactured
Dino for instance
than an actual good singer
Dino is great but not an exceptional singer
Just an average singer
With a great voice
And great music
Marty Robbins isn't the most technically competent musician but he was the superlative Western music singer
it didn't matter
Whereas Frankie Laine took his jazz singer skills to movie soundtracks
No, you can't hear Gunfighter Ballads and miss the point unless you're trying
the master's call is a club banger
then you get this
I need to find more singers I actually like
