Oh but why compare them like that? Cant we just say they were all great? Liam's gone now too. There's a cloud somewhere up there that's ringing with the sound of the whole gang of them re-united this weekend. - God bless every one of them, I say.
What the hell is this? I didn't expect to come on a Tommy Makem clip and find a Liam Clancy hate fest. Liam was an amazing singer and rightfully a legend!
I've kissed and courted them all, Gentle and simple, short and medium and tall, But kept a merry heart free, 'Till it was stole unknownst by Kitty Magee, Her smiling face, her slender waist, Her lips would tempt a saint to taste, Oh, sure it was small blame to me , To lose my heart to Kitty Magee. 'Twas down at Ballina Fair, Colleens and boys were gaily stepping it there, And I the soul of the spree, When I set eyes on Kitty Magee, Her smile so sweet, her step so neat, Hide and seek her two little feet, Gliding just like a swan at sea, Went handsome, winsome Kitty Magee. And now I'm dreaming all day, Sighing from dark to dawn and wasting away, Like a lone bird on a tree, Singing the long hours through for Kitty Magee, Oh, darling dear, the shrove is near, Say the words I'm dying to hear Promise me mine you soon will be, Handsome, winsome Kitty Magee.
Why are you folks splitting hairs - just sit back and enjoy the talent - you won't get any more Tommy or Liam. As far as I know most of Barley Bree are still around though I miss them together. I picked up a newer album by Jimmy Sweeny a couple of years back.
people say liam clancy is a better ballad singer but tommy is a better performer. That is surely not true. Tommy is far far far better singer. Just listen to his vocals.
Pure gentleman.. great musican..
Boy, he just sounds great! They all do! He sounds as good live as on the record!
Unique and absolutely lovely Irish folk music
Yes tom clancy's voice is very energetic. Very nice sound. i love Tommy's vibration in his voice. Thats what makes it great.
I love this song. Two minutes of greatness.
True to that. The clancy brothers are all together now. Once and for all...
Tommy was a true bard.He could sing whenever he want.
LOVE ALL MUSIC OF THEIRS

Start at 0:34 to repeat the song only - I did it many times - Tommy's my hero!
Great :)

I woudl say they both are very good singers, TOmmy's voice is stronger but not intrinsically better....
