Ooh there's one to cause debate !

Well, i guess it rather depends on how you define 'best'.

Ive no doubt a little research would tell you whose concerts outsold anybody else's; which artist sold the most records/8-tracks/Albums/Cassettes/C:D's/...whatever medium is sold these days, but that only means what was popular at that exact time.

If it comes down to a specific artist i suspect you'll get everyone from Maria Callas to Aretha Franklin.
From Frank Sinatra to Liam Gallagher.

Personally I'd nominate somebody like William 'Smokey' Robinson.
A man whose professional career began in the late 50's; was made a 'Superstar' by Berry Gordy at Motown when he put him with The Miracles; and managed to keep himself musically busy up until the early noughties.
