At this point, we're lucky that people still know there were 1960s. Most people's memory timespan seems to start in 2000. Glad to see The Supremes there. Shoulda been #1 but I'll take it.
I have no real problem with that but i am rather surprised and disappointed Miss Dionne Warwick is not higher up on the list.Quote:

I'm glad Lesley was recognized in the top 5 by the public today. I was a Lesley Gore fanatic long before I was a Motown fanatic. One of the first LP's I played repeatedly from my Mom's collection when I was around 10 years old was "It's My Party". Luckily I eventually got to meet her and have my record and a photo signed, one of my life's highlights.

These lists and polls are always fungible; it's nice to see Petula, Dusty and Lesley get higher recognition.
Is there a list anywhere of these 60 artists?
I think it will only be published after they stream the show 50 times.
I heard most of the top 13 - Dionne was 8, Linda Ronstadt was 9 I think and Martha and the Vandellas were 13 - that’s about all I remember.
I just picked up from a second hand book shop aretha's autobiography with David Ritz.. looking forward to reading it

Here's the list!
To see the incredible Shirley Bassey just barely crack the list is a little disappointing, but I realize that she appealed to a different demographic. She was primarily an album artist and live performer as opposed to a top 40 radio artist and I guess that explains it. But what a voice!!!
