Carol C, I have taken good care of my hearing, and even in my 60's, it is still too good at times! Slim Whitman has a very good voice, so did Jim Reeves, but, I still rate Paul Robeson near the top. I cant decide if I like Iris Dement or not, her Infamous Angel is a very moving song, but, her voice or style gets to me after a while and I find it annoying.
