Myles Kennedy’s Top 5 Vocalists of All Time

David Bowie

David Bowie was not just an incredible singer but also a groundbreaking artist who epitomized what it meant to be fearless throughout his career.

Ella Fitzgerald

Most who know me know that she’s my go to. Her ability to interpret songs from the “Great American Songbook” as well as the versatility highlighted by her ability to improvise vocally in a Jazz context is truly remarkable.

Jeff Buckley

It’s been amazing to see Jeff’s influence stretch across decades. I saw him perform in 1995 in a small venue of about 500 in Seattle. He took all of us on a profound musical journey that almost felt transcendent. His voice was otherworldly.

Paul Rodgers (Bad Company, Free)

As a blues rock singer, Paul is in a league of his own. I’ve always admired his vocal tone and his ability to weave around melodies with inflections. Listening to him is an unparalleled masterclass in singing with soul.

Freddie Mercury (Queen)

He had it all: charisma, power, range, and above all, an incredible songwriter and performer whose legacy will resonate for generations to come.
