"Karen Matheson for me." There's a brilliant BBC Alba clip on YouTube of Capercaillie doing Fear a'Bhata and one of the comments under it summed it up: Karen Matheson, like a angel whispering into your ear. | |||

"Honourable mentions must go to Gerry Rafferty and the wonderful James Dewar RIP." An old mate of mine (longtime soul singer) really rates Jim Dewar and I get it about his voice although I've never been enamoured of Robin Trower or the band's songs. | |||

"Paolo Nutini" I liked Candy and Jenny Don't Be Hasty, but he lost me at Pencil Full Of Lead and New Shoes which just sound like bad comedy songs. | |||

An old mate of mine (longtime soul singer) really rates Jim Dewar and I get it about his voice although I've never been enamoured of Robin Trower or the band's songs." He was a fine vocalist and musician and another loss, gone too soon like Gerry. I get it if you're not into Robin Trower though. I loved the work Robin and Jimmy did together. | |||

"I’ll second Lulu. Seen her a few times. But there are loads of brilliant singers from Scotland - Maggie Bell, Frankie Miller, Dick Gaughan to name three more favourites. Then there’s Alex Harvey who must surely be in a class of his own!" Alex Harvey may not have been the best vocalist technically but he was a great entertainer and a one-off original. I saw SAHB twice in the late 70's and have all their albums. As far as other Scottish vocalists go, I like Charlene Spiteri and Jim Kerr. | |||

"Tom Jones He's Welsh Isn't that Shirley Bassey?" Well, they both sang Bond themes ... and James Bond's father was Scottish. So both Burly Chassis and Tom 'The Voice' Jones qualify by my reckoning. | |||

"Maybe not singers but some brilliant musicians, Mark Knofler being one." He's a Geordie. Again, weak grasp of geography. | |||

"Sharleen Spiteri" I've always thought her song Inner Smile is incredibly naughty and about the female vaginal orgasm. I'm probably way wrong but when she goes off on that "Yeah!!!!" note it's beautiful. | |||

"Mark Knopfler was born in Glasgow as was his brother David. My geography is fine." And brought up on Tyneside, hence his accent. I was born in Cambridgeshire but grew up in Jarrow and I'm way more Geordie than Ely. | |||

"I was always very fond of the three part harmonies of Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley and Gerard Love from Teenage Fanclub. Another favourite is Roddy Woomble from Idlewild." Teenage Fanclub were hugely underrated grunge forefathers along with the distinctly not-Scots Hüsker Dü. Bandwagonesque is a brilliant album (other brilliant TFC albums are available e.g. Grand Prix, but Bandwagonesque set the tone). Kurt Cobain loved them when he was nobody. | |||

"Billy Mackenzie" Excellent call and one I should have made. Obviously I love Party Fears Two (who doesn't?) but his vocal on BEF's version of Bowie's Secret Life of Arabia is also utterly unlike any other singer. An authentic off the wall genius. | |||
