[78-L] Pop and Jazz Singers

[eugene hayhoe]

So what are the criteria here? I see Armstrong, Rushing, Joe Williams & Presley - does that mean that Muddy Waters, Wynonie Harris B. B. King and Bobby Bland qualify also? I'll take them (and lots of other blues/jazz singers) over the likes of most of those on the list. Pops, Fats, Mr. 5x5 certainly deserve their places, how about  Cab Calloway, Hot Lips Page, Red Allen, T-Bone Walker?
 
As a kid, I only got interested in music to begin with when I realized there was a lot of stuff out there other than white pop. crooners and bluegrass/country, which was all I was exposed to until I was 12-13 or so years old..
