Thread Name: best male folk singer?
Subject: RE: best male folk singer?
I'd say that the best voice belonged to Glen Yarborough or Paul Robeson but the best, and most moving, was Harry Belafonte. Other great voices include Leon Bibb and Eddy Arnold (check out his rendition of "Wayfaring Stranger") Burl Ives was no slouch, either and nobody could sell a song like Josh White.
