Thread Name: Critical discussion of Ewan MacColl's singing
Subject: RE: Critical discussion of Ewan's singing
What harm in comparing ewan and jeannies version of a song, is that not discussing his singing. his singing of dirty old town sounds more authentic than his accent on the raggle gypsy song.
jeannis version is the best that i have ever heard, for bob davenport to apparantly claim she cannot sing is ridiculous.ewans importance to me was as a songwriter and an outstanding presenter of an evening, yes i did see him live , infact i was doing a support for them they were polished sophisticated performers
