The singers Joe Strummer thought were too good to match: “You can’t touch them”Being a good singer wasn’t within the remit of any self-respecting punk musician back in the 1970s.
Ultimately, though, Joe Strummer was always a little different in that regard.
“I began to study people like Tony Bennett,” he recalled in a 2003 interview, throwing out a particularly unexpected name.
“I know I’m being ridiculous,” Strummer himself admitted, “You can’t touch Tony.
“Now, when you can’t do what Frank [Sinatra] and Tony do, it looks like that,” Strummer declared, chaotically clasping his hands together.
