Are Stevie, Michael, Diana, Marvin, Smokey, Aretha, Minnie Riperton, and Donna Summer all once in a lifetime stars?

[Oliverlogan263]

Are they once in a lifetime music stars that you won't ever see like them nowadays or in years to come of their kind?

Yes

No

[slatyb]

Were any of them as big as Taylor Swift who filled stadiums for multiple performances?

Minnie Riperton and Donna Summer? Seriously?

[Oliverlogan263]

For Donna yes, she was a disco icon who helped popularize and define the genre with a string of massive hits in the 70s. Her powerful voice, sensuality and musicianship earned her the title "Queen of Disco."

[slatyb]

Yes, and now she's long over. The first five are still frequently heard and will be for many years.

[Nikki1989]

That era will never be repeated, if that is what you are asking. Anyone can release music now as it is all done on computers. Auto-tune and pitch correction will fix anything. No talent needed.

[supercutebutt]

Yes. Rap ruined black music. It made everyone dumb. My proof? Kanye loves Trump (and Hitler).

[strateguy632]

but your list is MORE than one, so not once in a lifetime.

[Joshydavid25]

They were from a time when people actually search for talent and found it on individuals.. Not to mention they were less nepotism babies and many of them came from hard backgrounds that cultivated them.. But I'll say no.. Maybe Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder because his entertainment value is almost unmatched, and Stevie is musical genius.. But, I do believe if they actually found talent they could found people like those in the generation before..

[Dargil]

There will always be new Sensations.

[Oliverlogan263]

Like who exactly?

[Dargil]

Taylor and Beyonce are doing OK. But I think performers are keeping their heads down. Not much James Brown or hot female performers like Eartha Kitt (?) or Madonna in the mill. Too much wokeism around. When Trump is reelected, that will improve. Don't confuse trump for mike pence or mitt Romney trump BELIEVES in free expression and women who under-dress.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, they are awesome forever stars.
