Honestly, if you have to ask that question you are unlikely to be able to understand the answer, but I'll try.The sound of someone's voice is not the only reason for that person to be famous. Crazy, right? But it's true. There are a million people out there with great voices who will never be famous. My brother is one of those people; he's been singing for 30 years and hasn't gotten farther than the Atlantic City boardwalk, despite having a fantastic voice.Dylan is not only famous, but a living legend — because of the words, man, the words. And I'll tell you, a lot of the time, he sings his own songs better than people with better voices.A while back I wrote an answer in which I noted his song “Mississippi”. He originally intended to record it for his album Time Out of Mind, but instead left it off and gave it to Sheryl Crow.Crow recorded a substantially different arrangement of the song — poppy, upbeat, radio-friendly.It sucked. Utterly, completely sucked. She missed the entire point of the song, captured none of the feeling in it. The lyrics are devastating in their sadness, and she recorded it as a fun, happy romp. She did it a disservice.Dylan would record the song as originally arranged for his album Love and Theft in 2001.His vocal was rough — very rough.But his version of the song is miles beyond Crow's, even though she has a more aesthetically pleasing voice. The feeling is exactly right in Dylan's version; it's a glorious song.The point I'm making is, it's not all about the voice. I suppose it is if you listen to music strictly for the melody, and the lyrics and feeling of a song don't matter to you. Such people are often also people who don't “get” Dylan. Admittedly, if all that matters to you is the sound coming out of his mouth, he is absolutely not for you.But understand that greatness is not all about the aesthetics. Take Simon and Garfunkel — Art Garfunkel had the voice of an angel; he opened his mouth and one of the most beautiful sounds imaginable came out.But it's Paul Simon — the man who wrote the words — who's the real legend, even though his voice never approached the sheer beauty of Garfunkel's.The bottom line is, when the words matter to you, the voice that's singing them tends to matter less.

Other musicians and songwriters like Lennon and McCartney, Jagger/Richards, etc. etc. were dazzled by the pure power of his words and music. They spread the word among other singer/songwriters. Some of his works still have the immediacy and relevance of a 21st century song.A huge dose of charisma and mystery propelled him into the general public. He was also a master manipulator of public relations. He looked like a rock star.Most detractors hate his voice but if you look beyond his idiosyncratic way of singing, you find melodies that hundreds of other artists have rushed to record.And finally, they gave him a Nobel prize for literature for his body of work.You don't have to like him but he is a king badass.

He was making Dad Jokes before there was Dad Jokes.I’m a child of the 70’s/80’s and most comedians I liked at the time treated him as a caricature. He had marketed himself very well by being patriotic. His routines were similar to an opening monologue of a late night talk show. He was very self deprecating, but only barely funny. He had no edge which makes you less than revered by most comedians. Don Rickles and Milton Berle from the same era are so much better. Abbot and Costello and the Marx Brothers are way better also. I’m trying to come up with a modern day comparison and Jeff Foxworthy is the closest, but he is a little more specialized. Jay Leno is similar, but funnier in my opinion.Oddly one of my biggest memories was a character that was just a parody of Bob Hope on a short lived cartoon by Martin Short.No not Ed Grimley himself, but in one episode he meets a character who is obviously a Bob Hope parody

I enjoyed Hope’s monologues in the 1970s and 1980s, until he became too old, blind, and deaf to delivery them well. They were topical and funny. If you hear them now they fall really flat, because the humor was tied to its time.Some of his movies, particularly the Road pictures with Bing Crosby, were very funny. He had his phony tough guy who was really a cowardly con man persona honed to perfection. For a non-Road pic, check out “The Lemon Drop Kid.”The thing I read about Hope was that he was a great live performer (I never saw him). His best work was said to be in front of audiences in theaters, state fairs, colleges. This was his real act, not the cue card-bound act that he did on all those network specials. He performed nonstop as long as he was capable, until he was nearly 90. He lived for it and they said that he would perform for the opening of a telephone booth if asked. But no matter how old he got, he didn’t want his act recorded because he always wanted it to be fresh and new for the next audience. Thus, his best work is lost forever. A friend saw him on campus in the early 1980s when Hope was about 80 years old and said he was hilarious, and far more risque than he had anticipated.
