Rolling Stone’s cover story this month details what it considers to be the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time,” including several current and former ANTI- recording artists:

#56 – Mavis Staples: “Bob Dylan described the first time he heard her sing: “That just made my hair stand up, listening to that. I mean, that just seemed like, ‘That’s the way the world is.”"

#77 – Merle Haggard: “Merle Haggard’s tough but smooth baritone epitomized Sixties and Seventies country”

#82 – Tom Waits: “”Tom Waits’ voice “has the smoothness of Barry White, but the raspiness of a mountain lion,” says hip-hop producer RZA.”

#89 – Solomon Burke: “His dramatic, sonorous voice — seasoned by his days as a boy preacher — is unrivaled in its ability to move effortlessly between R&B, pop, country and gospel.”
