yossele was THE quintessential cantor “from the heart” becuase he was a true “frummer yid”. Kwartin was a wonderful chazzan too – check out his “tiher reb Yishmoel”. I never heard that he was a “secular” jew. I am not sure he was a shomer shabbos but he sure was not a secular jew! And it is said that even the Munkatcher rebbe himself shed a tear when he heard “tiher reb yishmoel es azmo”
