Geoffrey (#2 son and identical twin except in musical taste to brother Greg.) and I were driving to my office and discussing singers. He allowed as how he like Paddy Reilly's as we listened to "The Rose of Allendale". I told him I felt that Paddy'e was a perfect voice. Effortless in range, void of affectation or innatural dialect, just pure singing. There are also some intangibles I can't describe. I then realized as to how few people there are that fit this criteria I have described. This doesn't mean that I think there are no other good or great songers singers. There are many. And I may be very subjective here as well.

I would add Piscilla Herdman, Glenn Curtin, Ray Price, Jim Reeves, Anne Murray, Gordon Bok, Tim Spencer, and Ken Curtis to this list. May be Mel Torme and Ronnie Browne.

Some of these folks aren't favorites by a mile but certainly skill is skill whether you like the style or no. Who else fits the bill?
