Linda Ronstadt never wrote a song and was one of the best selling singers..........of all time...........ever. And, across multiple genres. Nobody gave a fuck that she never wrote a song.
This guy?
I haven't even listened yet.
Not really into burly guys with beards but I'll give it a go.
And, who's Allen Stone?
Teddy is good ... definitely not horrible. I had to listen to 2 songs to give him a fair assessment. I listened to Sara Smile and Never Too Much. He needs to control all the vibrato he has in his voice, and be careful with his phrasing cause he is very "staccato" with it, cuts off a lot of his phrasing at the end. Can be really disconcerting. Those 2 songs tell if a singer really has it cause Darryl Hall and Luther Vandross are (or in Luther's case, was) great singers. Few singers should do a Vandross song tho in my opinion cause most just cant measure up. Listen to Teddy and Luther doing the same song one after the other. You can see what I'm talking about. Luther was just SMOOTH !!!! But thanks for bringing him to my attention. I will look at more of his work.
great voice. he's got the chops. but so do a million other people. its crazy how much talent is
out in the wild. i think... "right time, right place.." seems to be the factor in who makes it. as far as talent... there are plenty of talented musicians. there is ALWAYS someone better than you.
