Which singer do you miss,from yesteryear.

[oakiecokie]

Yes I know I`ll get some stick over this,but I`m currently listening to one of my all time favourite female British singers,Alex Parks.A winner of Fame Academy way back in 2003 and she lasted until 2006,with two albums.IMO a wonderful voice and such a shame that she decided to give the music industry a wide bearth.
Another singer I miss,but going back a lot further,the one and only Dusty Springfield,regarded by many as Britons first soul singing female voice.
Who do you miss.

Frank Sinatra.
The man could sing.

 

[another generation]

Phil Collins. Absolute tragedy.

2003-2006 is hardly yesteryear :)

Abba for me (:

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Frank Sinatra.
The man could sing.

But not as well as Nat King Cole, or Deano. Or Matt Monroe for that matter.

Alex Parks? Out of all the singers who have ever sung and are no longer singing, you chose Alex Parks? I'm going to say Kenzie from Blazin' Squad.

Note to oakie: people stopped using the term 'yesteryear' around the same time as rationing came to an end.

I use the word as I was born in 1951 and fucking rationing was still around.I was christened in a demobbed suit as well. ;)
