Best Male Singers of the 20th Century

Well, gee coach....

T'was only a wild guess.
So who the hell is it?

I dont know. I said my guess is Beniamino Gigli. Maybe somebody should send an Audiogon email to Tubegroover and ask him.

Ok, sent an email. Before he responds, let me guess again; John McCormack.

You got it Paul, the Great Irish Tenor, I'm impressed. Now I wonder, how many have even heard of him? His first recordings were made when Louie Armstrong was a little boy.

No one has heard of him. Proves your point, I suppose. Although, everything that happens in popular culture now is preserved on videotape and computer discs and there is so much interest in "historical" retrospectives on film and tv, I would guess that someone like Sinatra, who with his movies and tv appearances had a wider audience, might still be remembered 100 years from now.
