Greatest singers of all time

Bill Sullivan — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:27:13 +0000

To try to determine who are the greatest singers of all time, Rolling Stone convened a blue ribbon panel of experts. The august body included singers themselves (Bono, Bruce Springsteen and more), industry executives and media who work in the music business.

Each was asked to list 20 names. An accounting firm tabulated the results and came up with a list of 100.

Here are the Top 10:

1. Aretha Franklin

10. James Brown
