No no no. Manilow is famously tall and lanky. He's thin and long. His caricature that he uses of him sitting at the piano exaggerates him as tall and lanky with long legs that won't fit under the piano. Manilow, on the Tonight Show playing musical director for Bette Midler when he was a nobody, he plays the piano from a semi-standing position where is uses basically a bar stool and just leans on it and he looks iconically tall. You are associating "aggressive and brutish" with tall. Because Manilow is refined and a nice guy you are surprised to find out he's tall, and because Billy Joel is straightforward and coarse you are surprised he's short. Gentlemen can be tall too.

I’m a 6’3/4” guitar player, I would tower over some of these singers. I had no idea how many of the legends were under 5’5” tall! One of the tricks they used in MTV videos was to put the short singers a couple of feet closer to the camera to even up the visual perception of the band heights, Steve Perry was always in front of the rest of Journey in photos and videos like that.

I met Aerosmith at a meet and greet before a concert. Even with cuban heels they were seriously short. The publicity people made sure tall guys kneeled down in front of the band for photo's.

The Bee Gees just prove that pants can lengthen your legs and make you look taller. How tight those pants are can determine now high you can sing too. I thought Maurice Gibb was at least 6'2''. Barry Manilow looks like a 5'6'' type of guy. Excellent upload, Datawatch. I'm going to check out your video on _Classic Hollywood Actresses_ Height Comparison video now.

Something to know--Tallness is usually the result of having a longer thigh bone...when folks are sitting around a table, judging height is more difficult.

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.

In the Rock and Roll wax museum in London there's an impression of Paul Simon's hand in the wall. It was so tiny, almost child-sized. Pretty interesting that he became such a talented guitarist despite the size. Bono would be standing next to him if he'd been included in the list.

I have a couple interesting takeaways from this: Michael Hutchence, who is my favorite singer, is often compared to Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger. And he happens to be the same height as both of them, 5'10." Second, I knew Marc Bolan was on the shorter side, but he made it work for him. If he were over 6', he would look ridiculous as an androgynous glam rocker. I happen to think he's quite adorable.😉 Third, I was surprised that SRV, Billy Ocean and Bob Marley are that short. I'm also surprised that Little Richard, Barry Manilow and Stevie Wonder are as tall as they are. I agree w/those who said it might be because they sit at a piano. Fourth, it's amazing to me the reactions to Robert Plant's height. Most say he's taller and one said he doesn't give off tall man's energy. Well, I think he does. And I heard Jimmy Page thought he was the bouncer when came to hear him sing because he was so tall. My mom, who isn't the biggest Zeppelin fan, always refers to him as the tall blond one. My cable provider has a classic rock channel that plays Led Zeppelin and shows various photos. My favorite is one where Bonham is sitting, Indian style, JPJ is squatting next to him, Jimmy is leaning over them and Robert, wearing dark pants, a shirt that actually fits for once, a necklace and his curly blond hair, is standing next to Jimmy w/his hands behind his back. I dare anyone to tell me, who looks at that photo, that he doesn't look over 6'. If I had grown-up in the 70s instead of the 80s, Robert Plant would be my favorite singer instead of Michael Hutchence. But he's my second so that's the way goes. Timing is everything🤣🤣

I was honestly so surprised at a few of these! There are quite a few on here who just give off tall or lanky energy (like Bowie) so I always assumed they'd be taller than me if even by just a little (I'm 177cm). Then there are several I thought would be shorter (like Barry Manilow and Jim Morrison) than they turned out to be because something about them just feels 5'7 or 5'8. There are a few who are well known for being short or tall but then you're shocked by how much. Prince and Joey Ramone at such opposite ends.
