[wm02]

Lots of great posts already. One who hasn’t been mentioned yet: Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon.

Really gifted vocalist imo

[Lapeno77]

[Baileys perm]

Saw someone mention Idrissa Gueye's brother....Marvin, he's a standout that just cant be beaten i'd say. Its why you very rarely see covers of his songs.

Other mentions

George Michael (massively underrated, probably the best ever male British vocalist)
Bill Withers
TQ
Al Green
Solomon Burke


Out there currently, i love Eric Burton of the Black Puma's & in the same bracket as George Michael, Harry Styles vocal range is massively underrated

cant believe nobody mentioned the genius of Steve Marriott

 

[YoboCopter]

Robbie williams

 

[Bedfordblue]

Sinatra, Mick Hucknall and Robert Plant best voices for me
Distinctive voice for me Kelly Jones and Eddie Holman

Never been a fan myself.

I think it was Ian Gillen singing sweet child in time by deep purple, great range and whenever I hear that, I still get goosebumps.

When I saw the thread He was my first thought. Just glad he hasn't been posted.

I agree about Big Gay Georgios, Him and Aretha is 1 of my favourite songs. Apparently done and recorded on the first take and first time singing together, or so I heard.

Anyone mentioned Rik Waller?

Would have won pop idol if it wasn't for a case of severe laryngitis.
