There are a handful of legendary singers that haven’t written even their best material. Frank Sinatra (My Way), Johnny Cash (Hurt), Madonna (Material Girl) and even Elvis Presley (Hound Dog). But, being a vocalist is like having an organic guitar. You wail, scream, screech, growl in various tone and octaves. And it is matter of making the song work. Some of the songs done by those artists I’ve mentioned, you would be hard pressed to find anyone else to fill their shoes, because they are what made the songs.
