[edit] lists

i think it'd be better if the albums were listed chronologically and divided in "studio albums", "live albums" and "compilations" (just like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley_discography ) instead of being listed by their record company. i could change it, if i get your permission.78.52.38.218 (talk) 15:35, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Number of Albums

instead of saying "countless albums have been released", why doesn't someone just count them and actually put how many he actually made? I would but I don't care enough. But obviously the number of albums are not countless.

The problem is defining what deserves to be counted as an album. Do live albums count? Do compilations count? Do compilations with one new song count? Do box sets count as one album, or multiple? Do duet/collaboration albums count? Anyway, he's released a lot of albums, much more than the typical recording artist, hence countless. An imperfect word, but no more imperfect than any count. --Alcuin 12:07, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

We can narrow and pin down the number if we count the studio albums, just to give an idea of his output, because some of his best albums are live, of course. Nazroon200.55.119.173 08:07, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, I plan to add a studio album or two that we missed when creating the discography, and I presume there's more we don't know about. But, even without the latter, we could give an estimate of the number of albums released. Cromag 08:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grammy Living Legend award?

The page previously listed a 1991 Grammy Living Legend Award; I could find no corroboration elsewhere, so I zapped it from the article. Alcuin 15:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps it would be better -and less confusing- to have listed the Grammys strictly given to him, than works in which he participated (those could be listed separately). For example, did he received the Grammy for the video, which was not directed by him? Nazroon200.55.119.173 08:04, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] charts

God's Gonna Cut You Down should be on there —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.141.109.33 (talk)

According to All Music Guide, the song didn't chart. Cromag 22:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] American VI

Will it be appropriate to remove 2007 as the year this album's supposed release? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stampede1961 (talk • contribs) 23:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ultimate Gospel

Why is it listed under miscellanious when it is clearly a Columbia compilation? --89.245.64.169 (talk) 10:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
