Originally posted by bbluesman I liked the Dolls but loved Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers. You naikled it on singers. reminds me of that story where Charlie Watts got disgusted with Mick Jagger's continuous bragging and downgrading of his contributions. Charlie grabbed him and pushed him slightly out a window and said, "Let's get things straight, I'm not your drummer, You're my singer!"
I still miss johnny on a regular basis, he was a wonderful human being, and funny as hell (usually unintentionally - I have a few NSFW stories about him lol)
Most of the time if I like a singer they are also a guitarist or bass player.
Love the Charlie watts story, Keef hasn't gone to micks dressing room pre or post gig in about 20 years his new book is apparently quite good got a good write up yesterday in the NY times book review, think it's on my Xmas list
Oh yeah and blues singers are frequently the exception, I've not met one i didn't like
