Male Singers / Musicians and Vocal Range Classifications

This is a page created by C.Syde65 which attempts to cover basic descriptions on the vocal ranges and classifications of some of the male musicians and singers, both past and present.
I, C.Syde, have been reading information about the classifications given to some male musicians and singers on various pages on various sites, such as and from the .
I initially felt that some of the information I'd read did not accurately classify the vocal ranges of certain male musicians and singers. But that was because I simply didn't have the sufficient experience to be able to judge. The information notably included who I always assumed to be a low-range tenor, only to find that he was in fact a high-range baritone.
One the other hand, I always assumed that was a high-range baritone, when he was actually a low-range tenor. I thought he was a high-range baritone because in the early 60's, Georg
e often sang within the higher end of the baritone range.
Notable songs by that featured George on lead vocals in the early 60's include '', '', '' (w/ John Lennon), '', '', and ''.
After reading some of the information on those pages and sites, I was inspired to make a list of some of the male singers and musicians, past and present, along with the vocal classifications that I have given them, or have officially been given. Note that this page is still under construction and will be expanded and revised over time.
