Are you a good singer?
He’s a trained singer.
A rock singer is perhaps typically more concerned with direct visceral expression of the body.
The listener and the singer are ' placed' now in very intimate proximity.
On the other hand he wasn't really a professional singer till quite late in life.
Although there were many women in rock by the late 1960s, most performed only as singers, a traditionally feminine position in popular music.
His intent focus on the singer's offstage poise suggests how much he has yet to learn about striking a pose and deflecting the gaze.
Numerous and more concretely documented than a past voice or performance, they have dominated what little literature exists on the singer.
By shedding excess and approaching sung dialogue as if it were speech, singers were to be singing actors - the imperative of a musical dramatic art.
Or perhaps committing a few contrapuntal errors was but a small price to pay for enabling some fine singers to perform these roles.
