Top Ten Best Black Male Music Artists of All Time
Even though other singers had started way before his time, I still loved how he has pioneered through both singing, acting and dancing. I even admire him a lot than other celebrities, especially the notes days. I loved the way how he became the best dad in the world towards his 3 beloved children. Michael Jackson is the best celebrity in the world. And no matter what skin colour he has and how he looks, he is still very beautiful.
He is the greatest of all times. Sublime music and a master at physical expression. Pure genius. Made sense of the world and had one the greatest intellect to write songs and better skill to represent them on T.V.. There will be no other Michael Jackson. He will be the greatest, not only black, but in humanity. RIP.
He is the greatest one of all and also greatest in all the legends ever existed. Bo words to describe his legacy and magnificent and breathtaking performance. Even after decades and centuries his name will be on the greatest one. And will be remembered in our hearts forever
King Michael Jackson deserves his spot on here and the guy was an ACTUAL king crowned by his own people in Africa US/UK tabloids say this man "went" white but every other nation never bought that or the allegations they just want to ruin a great black man's rep but in the end they lost.
Ignorant ass Michael had a skin disease called Vitiligo as his autopsy confirms...He did not have "surgery" to turn himself white.
Secondly Michael has put over 200 black students through college and has given all of his We are the world proceeds to Africa and has had thousands of inner city kids visit Neverland Ranch. You know nothing about him so shut up.
One of the greatest artists of all time and influential rap artists. Should be one. Jackson didn't do anything for the blacks and become a white through surgeries. Tupac dedicated his life to them and his lyrics. are amazing! And deep.
2pac is not number 2, he couldn't play anything but the skin flute and talked in his songs not as skillful as singing. Rap music computer generated which is far from impressive.
Rap is a joke, it shouldn't even be on the list. I put it just above the guys who play buckets with sticks on the difficulty level
This man had more talent on an instrument than any other popular musician. Jackson is a great singer, that's it. 2pac is a poet but Hendrix was as well. And nobody has ever done more for a instrument than Hendrix has for the guitar. Ask any blues/rock/metal guitarist. They will tell you so much about what Hendrix created for the guitar
Jimi Hendrix proved that rock n roll isn't just for white guys, it can be for everyone. In the process, he became the GREATEST guitar player ever! He inspired many people to follow their dreams, and even pursue musical careers. Jimi Hendrix was in all one of the greatest icons in rock n roll history!
He's definitely not the greatest guitar player if all time but he's still awesome. I heard many more technical guitar players but Jimi has amazing music
Way better than Michael JACKSON! Much better songs. Michael Jackson was a rapist
Stevie is better than Michael in my opinion. But people give Michael all the votes because he was a better entertainer. Stevie was a better musician than songwritter. People will stop giving Michael sympathy when Stevie Wonder dies. Don't say I didn't tell you when Stevies time comes
Why is this AMAZINGLY, TALENTED, GENIUS man with God-given talents at number 4? He is my favorite musician and singer. He has a smooth velvet tone and has done many genre's of his music(raggae, country, pop, 80's, blues, gospel...) that the other artists hadn't even touched on.
I think stevie wonder should be head to head with michael jackson for the first place, he's such a great composer and he sings from his hearth and soul.
Stevie Wonder is an amazing artist. The fact that he was blind and made such inspirational and great music is astonishing.
He is a god number 6 is not fair at least number 5, come on he is my favorite singer of all time
Just an amazing artist. Music today needs a role model like Bob in my opinion.
I love this guy. Music today needs a role model like him.
He is just too smart and positive in his lyrics.
Number one to me. So much talent, so much vision, so much soul. Rest in peace brother.
The father of motown isn't in the top 10? What's Going On?
Best singer ever! Rest in peace.
He is the best of all time
Prince should be near the top of this list, he could play write and sing. Just shows how low our standards have become. Rap artists shouldn't even be on this list.
Should be top five, but hey, rankings like these are disrespecting. Most of the people on this page are 'top five' material. Top tier talent is just that, tops.
Undeniable talent. There is no comparison. He is one of the greatest artists of all time.
He made it okay for straight guys to be non-masculine while still being straight.
In 2009 Bob Dylan was asked to name musicians who were bigger legends than him. He could only think of one- Chuck Berry!
This is complete bull he should be number one, he is ate best musician of all time
One of the first rock artists, why is he below kanye west?
Why, In The Name Of Freddie Mercury, Is ' Usher Ahead Of The Trie King Of Rock N' Roll
Energy + Music + Creativity + Passion = Iconic
Again holding a mic upside down and babbling words using made up English accompanied with computer repetition is hardly impressive.
This ugly slacks doesn't even measure up 2 the likes of bob Marley and Marvin Gaye so what idiot put him higher than them.
This guy is awful why is he here?
One of the best
Very underrated. Deserves higher than #8.
Sorry not black
This man made soul music. A blues base with extra jazz, a twist of gospal, a squeeze of rock n roll and a sprinlking of country. This man is the greatest, smartest and by far the most unique artists ever to grace us with his soul. His music is time less. All soul singers steal insperation friom him. As brilliant as stevie wonder is he is a large ray charles fan. That says a lot
I love his Gospel and Blues with Jazzy sound I love Georgia Georgia
Ray invented a genre. He should at least be #2.
Fantastic vocalist. Soulful.
Why is he above Prince, Chuck Berry and Richie
Very good vocals. Love his music. He's amazing!
This dude has only been around for a year...
Good but not even top 50
Lionel richie is a very consistant artist. The songs that he has written and produced are evergreen, endless love, do it to me, I call it love, to name few.
He should be in the top 5 with Ray Charles, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson at the top.
Three Times a Lady (long version), who can beat that song,
best song ever: listen again
No singer had Luther's depth or put as mush emotion in his songs.
Top 5, he wrote the mist sincere lyrics
Luther should be at the top 5
Number 1 the best ever
He could be so much more. His music is good. Unfortunately, his words confuse and detract from his ability to move to another level.
I actually like his music. I just wish he wasn't such a jerk like he always is.
His music and talent is amazing. But he's not so good in real life
He is one of, if not, the most influential artist/s of the 21st century
It hurts my eyes seeing some of the artists listed on top of this genius.
