NMusiqNSoul	^^ it''s all about opinion. thats why lists like this suck ass anyway i personally would put ray charles or donny hathaway number one. but you cant argue with preference, i was never big on paul or mick's voice myself.

indeed how can paul have a higher place then little richard ? little richard is a better singer. and he was there before paul. and all these RS lists have faults imo. just with the top 100 immortals , i mean how can nirvana be more "immortal then michael jackson? if he influenced almost every artist today in some way.
when they perform they do 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 of his steps. and he took them from people like jackie wilson and brown and jeff daniel.
