ADDL FAVORITES
The purpose of this web page is to highlight the numerous vocal artists of many diverse genres listed, that I've enjoyed through the years. Clicking on the links below displays either their photo or a particular favorite album. A separate web page - INSTRUMENTALISTS - similarly salutes Jazz instrumentalists.
It should be stressed that my including (or not including) specific artists, of the thousands of excellent ones, that listeners, including myself have enjoyed, is in no way intended to rank or evaluate them. These are simply the ones that have struck me most - for whatever that's worth. Listening to music is obviously a highly subjective process and making these choices was not easy. I respect all serious artists, as well as the personal preferences of all serious music lovers.
For additional information and song samples on these various artists and/or the CD's, I've found the following web sites to be the most useful:
