It's been discussed before. I'll start with 3 of my favorites.

What genres are we covering? Any style or limited to "pop" music?

I could literally sit here for hours rattling off favorite vocalists and still not touch on them all. First that comes to mind is Marvin. Sam Cook, Otis Redding, Al Green, Van Morrison, Bob Marley, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Billie Holliday, Bill Withers, Peter Gabriel... I honestly don't think I have a favorite.

Well, then, my favourite vocalist ever is Robert Merrill. The most beautiful male voice I've ever heard.

For rock music, I think I'd pick Greg Allman. His voice is just perfect for the particular mix of rock/country/folk/jazz that is The Allman Brothers Band. I've heard various bands cover some of their songs and none of them work without his voice.

In jazz, I have to with Al Jarreau. He's a vocal Superman.

Gotta pimp Mr. Gaye as well

For Rock I pick My avatar. I think he's the best front man in rock history. Marvin Gaye and David Ruffin said Sam Cook
was the best voice in soul music. I agree with their opinions.

and a tribute to my avatar. The greatest front man in my humble opinion.

Here's a 2 for 1 of 2 of the greatest modern-era singers that we've had (Rest in Power Chris)...

Not a country fan by any means, but holy hell can this man sang, plus I do like how he performs with his wife...
