[Corno Dolce]

Ella Fitzgerald

 

[Sybarite]

Ella Fitzgerald

But not by the '80s, though. Had the very great pleasure of meeting her once – a real lady.

Back on topic ...

Absolutely agree with Freddie and probably George Michael too.

I would add Alison 'Alf' Moyet, who originally came to attention as one half of Yazoo.

Annie Lennox – nothing more need be said. And she's still got an absolutely super voice.

Cher – another artist whose career spans more than one decade, but she was part of the 1980s, so ...

Bruce Springsteen – a really great rock 'n' roll performer.

Billy Joel – again, a performer from more than a single decade, but the 1980s saw his biggest commercial album.

Midge Ure – frontman with Ultravox and a wonderfully distinctive voice.

I will have to say Madonna. I love the song True Blue that she
did and the Moody Blues with Your Wildest Dreams.

Is that all?

 

[Argoth]

Is that all?

Personal favourites of that decade are Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Ronnie James Dio (Black Sabbath), Rob Halford(Judas Priest). Can't really pick a best though, cos every voice is it's own.

 

[Art Rock]

Dietrich Fischer- Dieskau.

 

[hillelr]

what about kate bush she had a great voice

 

[Corno Dolce]

Hi Art Rock,

Yep, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is one of the greats. Placido Domingo also has it in spades.

Cheers,

Corno Dolce

Topic resurrected-

Michael Jackson! Now that's good.

You all need to check out Martin Tielli, my favorite singer ever. His solo work is phenominal, as is his more popular work with the Rheostatics, both WELL worth your time.

 

[MorningStar]

My fave has always been David Bowie

 

[methodistgirl]

No one has mentioned Duran Duran. They were hot during the 80's
and are getting it together again. How about Pink Floyd. I just loved
their "On the turning away".

Dio,

 

[Contratrombone64]

who HAS?? try had

As to your question, I tend to agree with Judy here Duran Duran is quintessenially 80s. It was a bad time for fashion, music, food, money ... LOL

 

[methodistgirl]

Boy George and the Culture club was another phenominon. I just love
Carma Camilian. Sorry I can't spell when my screen jumps.

[Corno Dolce]

Then there was that insipid tune by "Kajagoogoo" - so 80's and so glad that its gone.

last night I was watching Iron Maiden's live after death dvd and it was amazing, very funny and full of energy, that Bruce Dickinson is an amazing singer, no doubt!
