GUEST,MorwenEdhelwen1	What's an 'Irish tenor' (as in singer)? (49)	RE: What's an 'Irish tenor' (as in singer)?	20 Aug 13
A reply to points raised in previous posts. OK, I'll admit McCormack may not be a good example, but he was described as "the original Irish tenor". (He really must have had a great voice if Caruso admired him. Billy Murray though- but maybe, as a previous poster, it's due to bad recording quality) Would Paul McCartney count as an Irish tenor, or do pop singers not count? What about Billy Joel, who does, or did, have a strong light tenor voice? (BTW, Joel was reportedly one of Irving Berlin's favourite singers, and also reportedly admired by Leonard Bernstein.) None of those singers have nasally voices.
