...that get better with age.Chuck Berry, Little Richard, some of Elvis, Roy Orbison, and many of the girl group songs, like from the Ronettes, Crystals, Shirelles, Martha Reeves and the Supremes.
Which brings us to MoTown - Smokey Robinson, Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Four Tops, Aretha, Junior Walker, etc.
Which reminds me of Stax/Volt - Otis Redding and Booker T, IIRC.
Which brings us to all the old blues singers from Robert Johnson forward...to Eric Clapton's covers.
And all the quality stuff in between that's too lengthy to list.
Forget Lulu and Petula...and I never cared for Seeger, either.
I'd be happy to send you my IPod playlist.
