I don't know if anyone has posted a similar list before, but here goes:

1.) Tony Bennett (Carnegie Hall, New York, 1971)
2.) Frank Sinatra (Boston Garden, 1974)
3.) Tony Bennett (2nd) (South Shore Music Circus, Cohasset, Mass. c. 1976)
4.) The Beach Boys (Providence, Rhode Island Civic Center, c. 1980)
5.) The Beach Boys (2nd) (Tanglewood, Massachusetts, c. 1981)
6.) Hall & Oats (Theatre in Boston, c. 1981)
7.) Carl Wilson (of Beach Boys) (Theatre in Boston, c. 1982)
A New Jersey Native who regards Matt Monro as the only singer who compared favourably with our own Frank Sinatra.

Hi Warren--I for one, am impressed that you have Frank Sinatra and THe Beach Boys on your list.

Here is my list, although I cannot remember when most of these were, but mostly from the 1980's onwards.

The Beatles [probably early 60's]

Johnny Mathis --going on for 200 times [UK & US]
Neil Sedaka --about 10 times
Barry Manilow--about 10 times

Neil Diamond
Billy Joel

Michael Crawford
