Top 10 Most Talented And Successful Singers Of All Time.

They can easily take the simplest songs and then turn them into a masterpiece you
will never grow tired of listening to again and again. Given their amazing ability of
rendering and delivering the music in a way no one else can, it’s no wonder why
these top 10 artists have had some of the greatest success a lead singer can dream of
having in his career.

10. James Brown

If there was one trait that made James Brown so popular that was the amazing range
of his voice. On top of that, his scream was very special, sounding something like a
voice crying from within out for more. However, James Brown was more than a
singer with amazing vocals, because he also had his very own beautiful and at the
same time a bit awkward dance which made his performances seem even more
special.

9. Stevie Wonder

If you ever heard Stevie Wonder perform, then you’ll definitely remember his voice
for many years to come, because of its joyful cry and amazing clearness. What is
more is that Stevie had a way of making the audience glue their eyes to him while on
the stage and he achieved that through a combination of lyrics and singing that
evoked pretty powerful images in the audience’s mind. If you don’t know Stevie
Wonder, then it may come as a surprise that he was blind, but it’s this very disability
that allowed him to take his stage performances to a whole new level and have the
amazing success he enjoyed for his entire life.

8. Otis Redding

Starting out as a driver and then reaching the highest peaks of your singing career
may sound like a story from a rags-to-riches magazine, but that is exactly what
happened to Otis Redding. He was first auditioned in Memphis at Stax Records
where he practically blew everyone away with his personal rendition of “These
Arms of Mine”. What many may look at it as a limitation, Redding’s limited range
was the very thing that made him so popular amongst other contestants with better
vocal ranges. However, where he lacked in vocal ability, he made up in emotion and
that was clearly felt in every song he eventually wrote and performed for his fans.

7. Bob Dylan

Many people consider Bob Dylan as the musical version of Marlon Brando and both of them
reached such a high level in their careers, that they turned singing and acting respectively, into
an art. Bob Dylan is widely known for his ability of singingmelancholic songs without being
sentimental or corny and that is definitely seen in all of his works. With indignant and raging
songs, Bob is considered one of the best voices of all time and because of his greatness and
talent, many people such asBruce Springsteen and John Lennon were inspired to starting out a
career in music.

6. Bon Scott

A band that releases over 7 albums in just 4 years may be putting out low quality music that
doesn’t even deserve attention or it may be that it’s so talented, it cannot help but materialize
its talent through songs that have become timeless and unforgettable. Bon Scott was a very
original and talented singer and to date he is known as one of the dirtiest lead singers in rock
history. To make things better, he also was a guy with great humor and in a time where singing
with an American accent was the norm, he tried to be authentic and sing his songs with his
native Scottish and Australian accent.

5. Marvin Gaye

Being backed up by a powerful voice, Marvin Gaye’s combination of gentle and soft singing
has propagated him to the highest peaks of success. Every song Marvin sang felt like it
gathered every single emotion of his being and coupled with the honesty in his voice, the end
result would be a mesmerizing rendition which is impossible to forget. Better yet, everything
that was happening in his life had an influence on every single song he sang, which makes him
even more unique as a singer.

4. John Lennon

With his above average intellect and intimate voice, John Lennon created some of the most
wonderful sonic masterpieces you can ever audition today. One of his
greatest performances was of the song “Imagine” that he sang in such a way, that everyone in
the room who was listening to him felt completely mesmerized and taken into a world they
found it hard to break away from.

3. Elvis Presley

Who doesn’t know Elvis Presley, the most popular, famous and talented rock’n’roll
singer of all time? Elvis not only had a unique voice, but he also had a singing style
that evoked confidence. He also had this amazing ability of converting each song to his
own style, making sure that not even one note escapes his amazing voice. Because
of his talent, Presley influenced a lot of artists, including Led Zeppelin, Bono and
Bruce Springsteen.

2. Aretha Franklin

What made Aretha such a successful singer is her ability of epitomizing technique
and power, blending soulfulness and honesty in every song she sang. Because of
that, it was very simple for the listener to visualize everything she would sing
about. Proof of her timeless songs are the many fans she has gathered along the
years and the fact that she is now known as one of the most talented and gifted
singers out there.

1. Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson is undoubtedly the most talented and successful artist in the history
of music and what is special about him is that as time passed, his style remained
unchanged. Even to this day there are a lot of artists who are copying him which
prove how great he was at what he was doing. Michael also had some very special
dance moves; his speed, precision, interesting dance steps and his popular
Moonwalk were always making tens of thousands of people get up and scream in
excitement. Because he was so popular, Michael didn’t actually need publicity, since
everywhere you would go around the world, people of all ages and demographics
would know about him and\or sing his songs.
With that being said, these are the top 10 best singers of all time you should
definitely listen to if you never had the chance to do so until now. Not only will you
be mesmerized by their songs, but their soulful and dynamic lyrics will forever
change your opinion about what good music is all about.
