"singer" and "badass" = oxymoron. Hope this helps.

Hey Mr N, is Falcon at all similar to Ian Anderson of Tull? I'd like to see Falcon singing Aqualung

Funny enough, a gay man: Rob Halford from Judas Priest :-). Others- Dio, Plant, Gillan, Coverdale etc..

For those who admired the Miljenko Matijevic scream- Halford was in his younger days perhaps the best of the best- listen to the singing at the end of this song:

This is one of my favorites from the 70s:

NN

Yep. couldn't believe it took this long for someone to mention Rob. I saw him opoen for Ozzy 3-4 months ago and he still kicked ass.

Can't forget Barlow too.

I would go with more of a Joe Cocker style for Falcon. Joe was da man.

How bout Neil Young? "There was a woman he knew about a year or so ago, she had something that he needed and he pleaded with her not to go, on the day that she left he died but it did not show" The Loner

Robert Palmer had some pretty cool vocals on him. I remember the 1st time dat I ever heard "Hey Julia" dude sounded like a black dude "blue-eyed soul" at it's finest

Also, Micheal McDonald from the Doobie Bros also had dat blue-eyed soul thing going on

Soul singers are in an entirely different (and far superior) category, my friend. Stick to the rock genre to maintain the consistency of the thread.

Evidently by his list, it's got something to do with getting shot since 2 out of 3 died that way.
