BEST MALE VOCAL EVER


Hi... Looking forward to opinions from all  who enjoy vocals.

MY VOTE is for a man who was a pioneer: creative, articulate, with a suave and sophisticated exterior and a voice unheard again to this day; he died far too young - NAT KING COLE

John Kay from SteppenwolfPaul Rodgers from FreeJim MorrisonAll had an excellent voice for their genre imho

Excellent suggestions as above- consider;
Johnny Hartman with John Coltrane
Frank Sinatra 
2nd Note;

On the Pop and Rock side of things;
Rod Stewart is my #1.
Paul Rodgers is my #2

these gentlemen can take any cover and make it their own.

Freddie Mercury. He did rock/pop to perfection. No one did it 'bigger'. He could have sung opera. Anything really. Personally think he is head and shoulders above all the rest

Paul Rodgers is up there in my opinion because he can still do it.

Robert Plant was up there in my opinion but he has lost almost all of his former range.

The real conversation ender is probably Pavoratti but I don't know enough about opera to say. Maybe Caruso but there are no recordings that can actually demonstrate his talent as they are all crude and tinny.
