Who is your greatest singer songwriter?

I’m going Mr John Lennon with strong support form Mr Paul McCartney.

I could have listed hundreds, but I think Lennon & McCartney are very strong contenders. Their music & especially Lennons, ‘Imagine’, ‘Instant Karma’.. No doubt many different opinions will be shared, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bob Marley... to name but a few..

Jacques Brel (1929 — 1978), the greatest singer-songwriter since François Villon (1431 — 1463).

@helenS I will investigate those guys as certainly can’t claim to know them. Love the eclectic mix tis has thrown up.

@InquisitiveMind You'll probably know the song "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks ("We had joy we had fun...")? That's a trivialized version of a Jacques Brel song ("Le moribond"). Brel's songs are in French, he is Belgian.

@helenS This will be quite the new horizon.
