[78-L] Pop and Jazz Singers

[simmonssomer]

OK..but Henry "Red' Allen a great  trumpet player had a horrible voice. Good 
time but no chops for singing. Cab had a great band at times but was too 
much a vaudevillian to qualify in my opinion..

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..
