This one is particularly poorly named; best singers? Most influential, perhaps...most innovative or most representative or best performers or...something, but not best singers. American Heritage tells me that 'best" means, "Surpassing all others in excellence, achievement, or quality" No one who performed outside a narrow time period is featured, and no one outside few pop genres. Caruso? Guthrie? Williams? Holliday? Gosh...Kate Smith? Anyway, I'll go back under my rock now... Ugh; I’ve got to say that I hate these “the best/worst XYZ ever lists.
