Old singers that STILL have it

Phil Collins - 57

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i61cL8RVvVQ

uhhh.. that was killer .. very cool..

Really cool. Although, Phil's voice sounds a bit weird without his signature delay/doubling effect. Against All Odds is such a powerful song.

yea.. and i guess that was the original key..

the thing with me IS: im just now appreciating songs like these as i get older.. i was into guitar and hair metal back then ..

Can't you picture a heartbroken Phil sitting down at the piano after half a bottle of scotch and a fresh one on the rocks sitting on top of the piano leavin a ring and cranking that thing out?

OHHHH i can now!!... but then ? no way ,, that was HIS problem.. ehehheehhehehe.. little dude.. having a problem with chicks? get out of town!.. ... i was into jeff watson and warren Demartini at the time..

Haha. What about Brad Gillis?

BTW, Shania's jersey would look much better with a Flaming C on it, than a Montreal Carpenters logo.

Who's looking at the "C"?...Check out those abs!

LOL I guess I won't complain, at least this hockey avatar has pants on.

If you like Burton's voice, you gotta check out his new album, Above The Ground. 19 songs. 18 of them are killer. Plus a "making of the album" DVD that's as insightful as it is humorous.

Me too. Burton's my dad's all-time favorite, so I've been listening to him my whole life. He tried to name me after him. My mom vetoed that

[larryfromnextdoor]

dude.. i have never quoted a curse word .. BUT dude.. all the musicians around my parts use this term

to describe the greats!! if you hear this a bout cats in texas .. then man.. is that guy GOOD .. "WAY good" as the kids

[squirt1]

Does anyone remember when Glen Campbell started out with the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour? That is when his career took off.It seems like the late 60-'s early 70's. It seems like musicians were real then and not the creations of equiptment and technology.

Damn you're quick Lar, you booger......I deleted my post.

It's funny though, there is a fine line.........I LOVE blues (especially rock songs that have a blues feel to them) but I hate jazz.

* Bruce Springsteen

You sir are a Genius.

Those two are living legends.

Too bad these Journey fans won't give Bruce a listen. He is Rock's biggest star.

O well

Venus in Overdrive sounds just like the stuff from the early 80's.

The artist with the most popular live album of all time can still rock the hell out of any house.

“By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising” Now I've got all those songs stuck in my head. Glenn is the man, now that he's clean, he's sounding strong again when he sings.

I can't believe no one's mentioned the Queen of Rock - Tina Turner!

Brian Johnson and David Coverdale. JUST KIDDING! While I like both of their new albums, they sound like they took turns dipping their vocal chords into a meat grinder!

Good call!...and drummer Jerry Mercer turns 70 next year. He looks like he could play offensive tackle for the Calgary Eskimos.

Grrrr......it's the Edmonton Eskimos, and Calgary Stampeders (Grey Cup champs )........don't make that mistake again.

BTW, Shania's jersey would look much better with a Flaming C on it, than a Montreal Carpenters logo.

And Shania would look much better on me. Just a thought.

Dude, that's a great av, and I'm a big fan of Frontiers, but you gotta shrink it. Try getting the width down to 200 pixels or less. The height, is less of a factor. If you notice, it crowds the page. Or you can just tell me to piss off.

unbelievable!! .. wow

Amazing. His voice sounds fantastic.

What about Justin Hayward, Moody Blues? Someone I work for told me they saw them in concert and he sounded great. I went out and bought Question of Balance, since I didn't know much about their music, except the song Nights in White Satin.
