Subject: RE: Folklore: What makes them great
I don't think it is any one ingredient that does it for all performers. Some may be virtuoso musicians and that's all they need.
Others touch a chord of human commonality that overcomes a somewhat lesser musicianship and sometimes a performer is just likeable.
Different performers appeal to us on different emotional levels and finding which level is their strength is often what brings success.
