Height Comparison | Classic Male Singers (Pre 1980)

That was so interesting. Hypnotic and calming repetitive music and all. Gotta say I'm surprised to see some of my favorite singers and musicians are much shorter than I assumed.

A lots of surprises. I always thought The Righteous Brothers were both over 6 feet. Chris Rea has always seemed so massive, I thought he'd be over six feet, easily.
And how in the world Joe Jackson and especially Barry Manilow are that tall?

Terry Hall 6'2!...that was a surprise, I had him down as about 5'8 ish...sadly missed RIP Tel 👍

So many dwarfs…..
(I‘m 189cm)
Just kidding. 😁 They are ALL giants.

Yep, I'm in the Paul Simon and Prince team.
Yes, I'm a woman, but 1m58 is considered short, even for us and people aren't shy when it comes to make fun out of this. So it's very comforting to have two highly talented people to side with. I'll add Paul Williams to this group.
(and it was also very comforting to know that on a more orchestral side, Schubert was also 1m58, and well, people still know his name !)
Short people can do big things,
we rule! 🎉😊

there were a lot of surprises on here for me! but the 2 that i was most surprised about were that Tom Jones is well under 6' and Geddy Lee is that tall!

I’m waiting for the classic female singer weight comparison.

I was not surprised at the shorter men but I was surprised at how tall some were… like Rod Stewart and Elton John. Great video thank you!!

Wow, I didn't think Barry Gibb would be under 6'.

Great job. But you forgot Peter Steel of Tupe O Negative at 6' 8"

I can't figure out why this was so much fun, but it was!

Jack Blades? Very well done!

Until i knew otherwise, I'd always believed Rod Stewart was 6' plus😮

I didn't realize that Paul McCartney was that tall

What happened to 10 cc and e l p

Peter steel 6'9"

Elton John 5ft 7 and a half !! He looked more like Billy Ocean's height 😄

Eric Woolfson of the Alan Parsons Project was 6'7".

Phil Lynott and Robert Plant ,born at the same hospital exactly 1 year apart . AUG 20th. Plant 1948 ,Lynott 1949 .

Billy Ocean 5’3”? That’s shorter than me. He seemed so tall!

I am shocked

I GOT MICHAEL JACKSON MISTER JACKSON MJ'S HEIGHT AND RONAN KEATING HEIGHT TOO EVEN OF CHUCK NORRIS HEIGHT YAP SO MY HEIGHT IS 1,73 cm , 1,74 cm , 1,75 cm and is 1,69 cm , 1,70 cm man its a preetty height for a male and is super cool

did i miss ronnie van sandt?

33 night mate

Don't remember Phil Collins looking like that

I’m surprised that you left out all of grunge but this was a heck of a nice video even without them. A favorite is hard to pick, I have many!

Pete Steele may edge out Joey Ramone.

some greats in this one

Gene Simons

Joey Ramone that tall!? Wow.

Is Mick Fleetwood a singer?

Van Morrison is actually 5 feet four... Springsteen is is just scraping 5 8 if he is. and theres a few more iffies there, but Van the Little Man is the most obvious... Great job anyway :)

No Pete Steele standing at 6'8"?

They have Otis Williams David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks from the Temptations but not Dennis Edwards who was 6'5. Still very cool list.

I know angelbert humperdink is tall

David Bowie is 5'10 179 cm not 176 cm

I seriously doubt all these heights are accurate. Paul McCartney never exceeded 5'9" ( unless you count the two inch Beatle boots).

Where’s 5’5in Bono 😮

Went through an airport bag check behind Stevie Wonder a while back and he seemed way more than 6ft... might be just me being Leo Sayer sized made him seem really tall

Мой любимый коллективный певец - это Битлз.

I want to know the shortest and the tallest so speed things up in the middle, LOL - cut out a lot of the 5'8" guys.

I always sort of identified with Brian Wilson so it was cool to see we are the same height.

no way is rod stewart 5ft 10 i have stood next to him and i was like a giant next to him im 5ft 8

I guess this means about 90 percent of these men could not get a date on Tinder now.

I always thought it suspect that Bill Medley was only 5'8" and now I have more reason to be suspect. There's now a YT video of the Righteous Brothers on the Danny Kaye show and DK (listed as celebheights as 5'11") stood next to BM and DK looked no taller than or even slightly shorter than BM. More likely he was 5'11"-6'0".

Billy Joel is 5'3 at the most. Very, very tiny.

It's taken almost a month of hard work so please watch through once you are here. who's your favourite classic singer?
