    Favourite Singers

    Nothing to do with the lyrics or how well they can play an instrument, just who's voice stirs you the most. For me it's mostly a female list (possibly saying they stir me was the wrong choice of words) but mine in no particular order is

    Billie Holiday
    Aretha Franklin
    Hope Sandoval
    Nina Simone
    Bob Dylan (60s Dylan)
    Blind Willie McTell
    Marvin Gaye
    Roy Orbison

    You see, that's why I said it was hard. And it changes day by day. I could easily do a top ten female Motown/Northern Soul singers, and even that could change tomorrow.

    I'm guessing he means Liam Clancy, thereafter there's a slim chance he could mean O'Maonlaoi from Hothouse Flowers. Thereafter again -I don't know a single other 'Liam' who can sing even a little bit ...though perhaps it's a typo ...might've meant Leanne ...
