|
| according to almost every list ever made,
| |
| | Unfortunately, this is where most lists
|
| from TV Guide, to Entertainment Weekly,
| |
| | usually go off in their different
|
| to you name it, the most popular, if not
| |
| | directions. Many are split between pre
|
| the greatest singer of all time, was Bing
| |
| | 1950s singers and post 1950s singers and
|
| Crosby. Crosby had no less that 383

| | the top 10 in many lists is so varied
|
| songs in the top 30 during his lifetime,
| |
| | that it is hard to get a sense of who the
|
| including 41 number 1 hits. Crosby had a
| |
| | majority of the people feel should be in
|
| one of a kind voice that simply dominated
| |
| | that top 10.For example. Many lists have
|
| the music scene from 1931 to 1954. His
| |
| | Al Jolson at number 3 because of his 91
|
| biggest hit of all time was "White

| | charted hits and 23 number 1 hits. But
|
| Christmas", which radio stations still
| |
| | other lists don't even have Jolson
|
| play today when Christmas time comes
| |
| | listed, probably because he was in an era

| | Jolson had one of the most unique voices
|
| of all time. It was number one on the

|
| charts for an amazing 14 weeks. There is
| |
| | coming in at the third position because

| no artist that has come even close to

| | as well as his tributes to Marilyn Monroe
