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 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 List of tenors in non-classical music and List of baritones in non-classical music from the Wikipedia, and I felt that some of the information I'd read did not accurately classify the vocal ranges of certain male musicians and singers.

This notably includes John Lennon which I have always considered to be a low range tenor, though he is listed on Wikipedia as a baritone. On the other hand, George Harrison is listed on Wikipedia as a tenor, but I've always considered him to be a high range baritone. The information on the Wikipedia can't be right because George's overall vocal range is lower than John's, so it doesn't make much sense that George should be listed as a tenor, if John is listed as a baritone.

But anyway, here is a list of some of the male singers and musicians, past and present, along with the vocal classifications that I give them. Note that this page is still under construction and will be expanded and revised overtime.
