The Singer and the Song

I've been populating my playlist with tunes of yore:

- Love is a Stranger
- Baracuda
- I Can't Go for That
- Heartbreaker
- Who's Crying Now

They sound like a good story in that order. We could write a REAL rock opera!

Name the artists of these songs and win a delicious new Mill Street (Joyce de?) Wittbier. Sorry out-of-towners...gotta get you here somehow...Hint: none of them involve Bonnie Tyler.

My latest fascination is Yma Sumac
Please give her a listen, if not a mere glimpse. The synergy of photo-voice is astounding! She looks how she sounds, no?

I had a conversation recently about "pop singers with good strong voices", and how attractive they are (aurally) despite the manifold cheesy songs they write. The listed singers above likely qualify, but I happen to like the songs, too. Give me some more names of good singers with bad songs. Foreigner (Lou Gramm)? Chicago (Peter Cetera)?
Loverboy Mike Reno??







All mentionings of Whitesnake and Skid Row disqualify you from further opinion. Sheriff gets an honourable mention for stumping me with that unforgettable ending of "When I'm With You" but should otherwise be left for pie filling.
